Broxi 11,518 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Perfectly fine keeping Castore tbh Some issues at the very start of the deal with a new company but it's a nice brand, becoming very big in the sports world, and I think they've been the most consistently nice kits we've had under any other manufacturer for a long time. If they're the highest bidder then fair enough. Hopefully we can get an improved deal from whoever we end up with.

Assegai 8,113 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I've said it several times - I like Castore, I like the kits. Hoping we get another multi year deal with them. ElBufalo20 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 11,024 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I’d love a change just for the change. If not Castore then at least from Unibet/32 red. Loyal72 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthranger 3,888 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I ordered some of last years training kit and the quality has gone downhill compared to the first couple of seasons. Which I think is why other clubs have ditched them (Aston Villa had massive issues with the player kits also). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPWF 8,294 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I don’t mind Castore. Never had any issues when ordering or anything. But a change would be nice. I‘m an unashamed Adidas mark, so would love them. Think Umbro have made some really nice kits for Hearts recently, so wouldn’t mind them. Hope we steer well clear of Nike though. Majority of their more recent kits are absolutely barking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adidas and NIke treated us like a big team and gave us kits that were unique to us, now it seems to be templates given to all the clubs, Umbro kits have probably been the nicest in a long long time. we won’t be near adidas whilst they make the sex offenders stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Adidas came forward with more money than Castore then they would pick Adidas. Don't see us changing from Castore or Kindred though.

Its just not the done thing, the same company tend not to make rivals strips, its why when they lose one club they usually end up at the other. Man U are now Adidas after Liverpool left, Barca are Nike, Real adidas. But they’ll tend not to do both at the same time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 11,024 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The one thing I don’t like about Umbro is they have done identical training gear for multiple clubs, same colours and everything, just obviously with the club badge being different. You’d assume if they had us they wouldn’t do that though. Burnley, Ipswich, Bournemouth etc. all the same turquoise and pink stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good deal for both parties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearInTheToon 1,577 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I’d like to see a move away from them for a few reasons. It really grates on me the shite supply issues they have of getting kits in stores. Flown from Edinburgh airport a few times recently and the JD there have fuck all of our kits in stock, ever. Constant supply of the mhanks’ kits though. It’s the same in loads of stores - really poor selection. We should be front and centre in these stores, every time.

RossS1873 1,671 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Castore have gotten much better following their quite frankly embarrassing introduction to football kit production but recently they've got loads of choices for everyone. There's a variant for whatever anyone likes and to be honest most (not all) of the issues you see with people have come from their choosing to wash their kits with bricks.

Don’t know what it’s like in SD as I don’t go near the place, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a shit selection there too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
