Went through a full rail of the orange training top, every single one I touched the sponsor was either peeling or creased. Amazing that we’re months in and it’s still the same shite getting churned out. Only got selected stuff out as well. For example a rail of grey and orange training shorts but no black or navy. Really strange set up if I’m honest, especially being a couple of months in after the shambles of a start Bollocks. That's the exact top I bought just last week an not a single top was like that.

As of last Saturday, no long sleeves of any tops. No name printing either (apparently Covid related but I don't see why?). I must admit though, compared to when I last went in there (last season) it's almost like a new shop. Bought my son the away top and must admit its bloody beautiful. That's the first time I've seen one up close and mot on the TV and actually think I prefer it over the orange top I bought for myself and the home top included. Nicest top we've had since our 3rd division top. Tiger Shaw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is concerning that it seems things have not improved. Like yourself I keep wondering what Rangers are doing to make things better, surely they are not just leaving it to Castore to make changes without pressure from the board ?? I bought the orange top and had a good look at them while I was trying to find the correct size. Didn't see a problem with any of them.

How do they handle the washing machine? Cheers in advance. Touch n go really. People put them on a cold wash with no softener etc like your meant to do and they peel off. Others put them on a normal wash and fuck all happens. Roll of a dice with their quality control I'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines was a preorder batch that turned up about a week after release and looked completely fine, few washes later the inside transfers had all but come off and missing two letters from the Castore logo, or should I say Casoe logo . Shit happens and lesson learnt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit happens and lesson learnt. For the price of these tops, they should all be perfect. I knew as soon as I heard about this deal that we were more of a score for Castore than the other way around. Wonder how many tools we'll see get literally ripped off a players back this season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the only thing that's stopping these being the best collection of tops we've had since our days with Nike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC10 1,449 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It's nice having a shop in the city centre but not sure how financially viable it is, high street retail is on its arse and will likely never recover Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so much wanted this young British company to work well for us and them, and while I am not saying everything will not be good in the end it looks as if there has been a huge number of problems. The meeting with the 'so called fans reps' never touched on the biggest problems like different suppliers I have read. As for washing my wife washed it when I got it and it was fine, but being an older Bear now I was only going to wear it to games and as you know that will not be any time soon, so the requirement for washing is not there. I would say the lowest tempt it can wash clean at and not too fast a spin would be best. Redwhiteandblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
