Only shorts available online. Wouldn't surprise me if Crapstore haven't spat the dummy, and the supply issues are part of that. It seems the Adidas deal was done sometime last season, so the talks with Crapstore clearly broke down then for them to push on with the Adidas deal.

Kanj Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 You have to imagine that NUFC probably offered to pay out the contract (or Adidas contributing) and Castore said NOPE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete guess work, but would UEFA let us play with the premier league logo in the font on the numbers? I can’t see it personally.

However that was 20 years ago so God knows.... Didn't someone say on here a few weeks/months ago that their mate works in the club shop and he has it on good authority that they're releasing a "CL Jersey" or did I dream that?

Karjala Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Got quite a few shirts off DHGate - Grandad collar & blue/maroon hoops from 95/96, Last seasons blue away shirt, this seasons home shirt and an England 96 one. I'm a size Large and got all of those in XL, all fit nicely, although the grandad collar is the tightest out of all. Castore ones spot on. I ordered 2 Home ones a few days after they came out, one XL Isak and one XXL Joelinton, and they sent 2 of each, for a total of £24. Interestingly their were 3 different designs out of those 4, (1 had Castore embroidered, 1 had the NUFC players shirt logo). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was just that the PL can’t dictate using their numbers for CL so clubs chose to make their own for extra dinero. Someone should camp out at florida print and see if the kitman is shopping for some generic af numbers the day before the Milan game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its because UEFA rules dictate that you can't have any other logos on the numbers besides the club crest down to particular dimensions, such as the PL lion logo. In 2002-03 we covered up the lion on the numbers and had a black back panel for the numbers as well. Arsenal and Liverpool did the same. Man Utd had their own font back then.

Harry 209 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Will look pretty shoddy if we dont have a cup font. I noticed even Everton have got a cup font. I can only assume that the length of time it has taken to approve is because its something totalky wacky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Well, look at the other Castore teams, they surely have European comp fonts? ie: Rangers had it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancrate1892 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I hope we just have the premier league numbers but obviously without the logo. The last thing we need is a big black square on the back and no stripes, that always looks absolutely shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t buy the rangers non-SPL numbers on their store but they were wearing custom numbers when PSV slapped them the other day. It’s a non story. Maybe they’re never produced for sale but who cares. Daft discussion. Worst case scenario, Castore can’t be fucked to make us fancy numbers, we can just use Rangers’ with their wee lion on the bottom. NUFC x Rangers Collab. Limited Edition. £££. FFP solved.

Harry 209 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I reckon the club will be opening a city centre store to coincide with the adidas launch. The now empty Sp*rt Di*ect at the bottom of Northumberland Street would be a good location. And the building is actually owned by the Rueben Brothers (I know they have some kind of eaty drinky thing planned for the top floor). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going on about the brown ale logo being stiff and cardboard-like on the rep, but I definitely remember the original being the same. I have that shirt from DHgate and apart from being a slightly less baggy and more modern, fitted cut, it's absolutely 100% a 1:1 replica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
