Castore - get rid?

[DanB90]

Smart business move by Castore to utilize the license to the Umbro branding.

Retro kits are all the rage at the minute, and Umbro have made some boss kits over the years IMO.

Defo wouldn’t mind seeing a throwback style Umbro kit next season.

According to Footy headlines, we are Umbro next season.

Strange there has been little news on next seasons kits. Never any leaks and that lot have all their strips leaked
.

Where does it say that?

Where does it say that?

Its actually an article about Adidas being the brand with the most teams, then there is a breakdown of what brand covers which club next season.

It has us as Umbro. I think its am error but with no new kit news and these guys are usually well informed, I am wondering.

There is a lot of copy and paste kits these days, Adidas especially , it’s becoming rarer teams have unique templates for their three kits.

The club should work with Castore/Umbro, run a competition for members to design a third kit or training top. It would be great especially for the younger fans, imagine being the one to design something the players get to wear.

I hate to say this but the leeds kits and what addidas are doing for that lot is top notch. That lot have 3 different badges next season and the training stuff and the trainers... Looks top quality. Very impressed also with the retro gear for Arsenal and United.

Its a very good idea, as you say, to get young fans to design a third kit. Why not?

I couldn't care less about "copy and paste" kits.

The younger generation love the Nike and Adidas, when we will get them we'll sell more kits.

Yup. Totally agree. Dont think Umbro is percieved as brand that kids - and adults - rush out to buy.

Still hoping beyond hope that we plump for Nike or Adidas after Castore.

Brand recognition is the most important thing when it comes to sportswear these days..

Get rid of this. The design is crap.

Do you really want to have kids compete to design the best kit?

Then the winner has Castore make the kit and tells all his mates at school who all order it.

Imagine their despair and the crushed dreams as those kits fall apart.

Looks like they've got the rights to market Umbro-branded gear now. If they did the same with us and brought back some retro Umbro shirts it might be better

Honestly don’t get the clamour for Umbro, for me it’s the Sports Direct of the footie kits.
We are moving into a brand new modern stadium, the next generation of Evertonian won’t want to be associated with a brand that was all the rage in the 70’s

Not normally bothered about the kit make etc but I just can't imagine Everton in an Adidas kit at all, and I'm quite happy to keep it that way.
