I just wished that kit makers would get away from templates and back to bespoke kits per team.

 

Kit's have always been from templates, really.  Some of the greatest kits ever were a template...Dutch 88 (also used by others, Soviet Union Home). Denmark 86 was the Aston Villa, Coventry kit in essence.

Even NUFC 85 Silver was Wolves Home the same year.

To be fair I'm not far off 53, so I'm going way back, but as you say if those kits were also templates, i didn't know that.

 

I just want a kit made for us, it's own entity, and without sponsors (never going to happen i know in the modern game).

It is actually possible to have an unobtrusive sponsor, as proved by Rangers in 2012-13:

Can only presume that the club are really pissed off with Castore to be announcing the manufacturer change like this mid contract. I expect they have been reasonable trying to exit early and Castore have told them to get fucked

It's deffo been timed to coincide with the last episode of the Amazon doc and the Adidas negotiations contained within

 

It's creating a PR buzz for NUFC, Adidas and Amazon and none of them are likely to give a shit what a bargain basement brand like Castore think

 

Like putting a framed pic of your fit new lass on the mantlepiece before your soon to be ex-lass has even cleared her jarmies from your bedroom cupboard. Savage.

Wonder if it affects the sales of this season's gear. Obviously there's always going to be a new kit next season, but putting it in people's heads when the current one has only be out for a couple of months might have an impact.

 

Not that it particularly matters given the shite deal we're on with Castore.

Think the shite Castore supply chain and product quality combined with the ease of buying DHGate knock offs will have already hit 23-24 shirt sales in a big way

 

If I wanted a shirt I’d buy from Adidas or Nike with confidence, even though football kit is massively overpriced.

 

I wouldn’t give Castore any of my cash for any of their products

What gear, most of it is out of stock or didn’t even release
