Was hoping for Adidas also tbh for design and ability to be able to deliver kits/gear in the volumes we now need. I've got 3 kids that all want a kit for Christmas and haven't been able to get one again this year. Not sure Castore will sort that.

Adidas were the worst supplier we've had for a long time.
As for quality. Most of the kit manufacturers purchase their material from the same source.

Never heard of them but I’m not up to date with kit manufacturers theses days. If it isn’t Adidas or Puma I haven’t got a clue.

Good excuse to save some money next season if you don’t like the new kits

I do agree with you about Castore, though.

I've always wondered when they were going to rear their ugly head; as a brand they do like to latch on to success and smear their shitty logo all over it.

We'd have a great range of shell suits.

Not a very balanced viewpoint so far is it? I’ve bought a bit of stuff from Castore for the gym, I find it very good to be honest. The only gripe I had with it wasn’t with the quality of the garments but one top I bought had the wrong size on the label….it was clearly a medium but the label said it was an XL! I couldn’t be bothered returning it as, like I said, I thought the quality was as good as the Nike, Under Armour and Adidas stuff I use for the gym.
I hadn’t heard of the supply problems Villa & Newcastle have had with them, but, if it is true and they will be our new suppliers, let’s hope they have learnt from these hiccups.

I know there no cheap option these days but castor always seem to be Dear as feck but for poor quality

They will struggle with demand too then that's when the quality will really show up poorly

Newcastle couldnt get out of their contract fast enough once the new owner took over. They are ending the contract a year early at the end of this season.
