Castore - get rid?


Saw an article yesterday that a switch to Adidas was rumoured because they're doing the Roma kits at the minute. However it also said the initial Castore deal was a 5 year one 🤷‍♂️

Personally I'd love to see Puma return, screw Nike and their bumpy shirts and screw Adidas, kopites 😑
Kinnear also did the lucrative adidas deal for Leeds.
 

Want to see us get rid of the all blue kit. You don’t see Chelsea play with white shorts because that’s not their kit yet we’ve been out playing all blue and even playing blue shorts and white socks once.

We play in blue shirts and white shorts, and if we’re away from home and there’s a clash it should be the away kit.

Can you imagine Liverpool changing the colour of their shorts or socks to suit the tv?

They have in the past, as have most clubs

Leeds sell a lot of kits in fairness to them. I remember reading back in 2019/20 they had the 6th highest shirt sales in England and at that time they had been in the Championship for 16 years! Companies like Adidas don't give out massive contracts because someone is a "great negotiator", they look at the data.

Also Leeds get £10m a season from Adidas, we get £20m from Castore

We got a good deal from Le Coq Sortif, Hummel and Castore because our brand enhances theirs. Unless we get back into Europe or competing in finals on a regular basis I don't imagine the likes of Adidas will match what Castore are paying us.

When you look at the Kit deal table, we are between Newcastle on £30m from Adidas and Aston Villa on £17m from Adidas, both have been qualifying for europe

Oh great, thanks for that, now going to have to tell my child they're not going a replica kit until 2033 minimum....at which point they'll be in adult sizes.
One less item for Xmas
