esquire8 43,006 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Just been dumped by Aston Villa for next season, Wolves meant to be looking at changing early too, trying to get a deal with Everton but their fans are not happy just being linked to it. Add to that their European clubs are looking to get out their deals too. Might be the only ones left Dickie1963 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the only ones left I’m sure their deal with Wolves is different than the rest and similar to what we did with Diadora in 2002-2005. E.g. Wolves basically manufacture and distribute their kits and Castore pay a fee to be on their kits and training gear. Personally I’d love us to go back to Nike or Adidas but reckon we’ll be stuck with Castore for another 4/5 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although signing another deal with Castore is basically a no-brainer for us, Bisgrove might have to be careful as they may disappear very quickly and leave us in the lurch. Especially if they lose a bunch more merchandise deals outside of football with the likes of McLaren. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said to my mate that I'd wear a full Rangers kit next trophy we won, so I did on Monday - I don't know what it is but the Castore socks are absolutely brilliant. Felt really snug, no movement around my foot, no movement inside my boot, gripped my calf really well. And the red tops felt fucking class. If you play regularly you should try TRUsox, by far the best football socks for comfort and keeping your foot secure in your boot. Pros wearing things they’re not sponsored to wear is generally a good sign of a decent product. Assegai 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was done a while ago. Adidas able to buy out the contract as it's extremely small amount for an EPL club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore a pair of Adidas football crew with Traxion socks yesterday, felt really comfortable in them. Definitely want to try different varieties of grip socks.

B1872 20,815 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I’ve probably just made this up but I’m sure the reason the badge is a transfer is due to the players nipples. 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Ally Scores Again! 475 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Pro top is much better - Can live with the badge being a transfer My gripe is - There to long on the body. Every garment from Castore seems to be cut from different dimensions…. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan media have reported (because they’ve been fed by the club), then we have a very good working relationship with Castore. Naturally when the deal ends, we’ll invite other parties to bid to try and drive up the deal we get. But despite the quality control issues, Castore apparently pay their invoices on time and let the club have a lot of input into kits etc. Unless one of the bigger players blows them out of the water (and they won’t as the likes of Nike/Adidas just done care about clubs our size), then I’d expect they’ll be the partner for the foreseeable.
