Yes I know the brothers are from the Wirral but they've also had a bunch of liverpool fans in the fanatics box all season this year during goodisons last year

 

[Daytripper]

What they have produced so far I can’t say im impressed with.

 

[Jacko93]

Bin. Immediately. Horrendous quality.

 

[GoldenToffee]

We'll be with them until the contract expires, whenever that is. We're still a crap team and no big supplier will be throwing their money at us any time soon.

 

[barneygumble]

Unless someone else is giving us what they're giving us... then not up for binning.

As it goes, I don't dislike the training gear and it feels like boss quality bar the iron on badge.

This isn't about "look", it's about what they're paying us and no one else is giving us what they're paying us, because they're ridiculously overpaying us, at £20m per year.

By contrast Hummel wasn't even half that.

Colin Chong is interim CEO until May 31st. Angus Kinnear starts his role on June 1st.

As long as Castore are paying us over inflated fees they’ll be staying. I personally don’t mind them as I’ve had no issues with the stuff I’ve purchased. However I know people that have. TFG might make a decision after this season.

 

[Saaby]

Yes, go after a quality manufacturer none of these second or third tier shitters.

 

[Liam-EFC]

They are horrific.

 

[Rich1878]

Get rid

 

[Walken]

In terms of clobber, get rid, they are terrible. In terms of finance, I don't have a clue

 

[Evertonthat]

Umbro please, and find a better shirt sponsor at the same time.

 

[NathDogg]

None of their stuff has been great tbh, and the quality issues are obvious. The leaked kit for next season looks crap, hoping it’s just blag, but the leaks have been right before.

I would bin them and look for better, new dawn, new Everton and all that.

TFG should be looking at every deal the clueless blerts before them signed us up to, including this one.

 

[Neiler]

Umbro please, and find a better shirt sponsor at the same time.

Think Castore bought Umbro mate.

 

[Marius57]

Always thought Castore had strong links to the Kopites. My first thought whenever I used to see it the brand would be LFC.

Not sure why as I’m not sure they’ve ever had any deal with LFC. So I’m all for getting rid.

 

[Evo2901]

As long as they’re paying us £20m a season I’m not too fussed really. I’d never want Adidas because of their close association with our neighbours. We got horrendous teamwear gear when we last had Nike which only leaves Puma out of the big boys whose gear is generally not great.
