Castore - get rid?

[Papa Shango]

The RS have adidas next season. But so do United, Newcastle, Villa and Arsenal. Do they have links to adidas as well? Can’t understand that logic. Nike have Chelsea and Spurs. City are the only perceived big club without adidas or Nike supporting supplying them. For what it’s worth, I’d like adidas to see what they’d come up with, as we’ve had virtually all the other kit manufacturers.

Exactly.

I would kill for a nice Adidas/Everton anthem jacket.*

Hummel didn’t put a foot wrong with the stuff they did, miles better designs than anything castoffs have done.

That first year of Hummel kit was great - a real standout. They did some nice looking training kit as well.

 

[Ferguson1878]

They have no links to that lot! Where is this coming from?

Obviously they will have next season.

Toyota is probably the sponsor that makes most sense.

I’v always thought of adidas as a liverpool make only from the 80s 90s when they were made by them and were winning things , that’s probably what he’s on about

That lot had addidas from 85 to 96, then from 04 to 12... so... Id say that's a strong association?

The Hummel kits and training gear was fantastic for seasons 20/21 and 21/22 then it all seemed to get a bit generic.

Why does it matter if they made Liverpool kits? It should be about the best deal in terms of revenue and quality product. I doubt adidas would do a worse job than some of the utter crap we have had over the years mate.

I bought this one, and it's a thing of beauty, looks great for everyday wear, but overall Castore ain't all that are they.

They took grants off Rotheram to grow their business in the city.

They then took money from Manc and disappeared down the M62.

They moved to Manchester because it has better access to young professionals there. I worked with a lad who went to school with the founders, he's a massive kopite and was in the castore box on Saturday

 

[PKwalnuts]

New Balance or Reebok... something different from the rest?
Dont even buy a kit don't know why I'm arsed.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Need a retro kit for the first year in BM...maybe one from Toffs.

Be Different

Hummel kits were class.

Have t purchased any Castore yet largely cos it has t been that nice

Back to Hummel for me

 

[Bally1989]

Whoever pays the most is the answer.

None of the elite manufacturers are giving us what Castore did.

Hopefully by the fine the deals expires we will be a more sellable asset.

Can’t say I liked any of the Hummel kits just remind me of misery anyway.

A few of the Umbro kits were ok, the two Nike kits give me happy memories (2013-2014).

 

[supertoffee98]

Only worry with Adidas is would we just look like Leicester, plus it would be odd to have the same kit manufacturer as the RS. Don't think that's been the case since the 80s. Adidas are the best in the business in my opinion for designs, sizes, material and quality. Used to be Nike but they've fell off massively.

In all seriousness let's bring back Hummel or Puma. Both quality manufacturers with a bit of history with the Toffees. Umbro is too sentimental and let's be honest the brand isn't what it was.

 

[BullensRoad]

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.

The two lads who are "founders" are Liverpool fans.their box at goodison is always filled with them.

 

[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.

@BullensRoad explain your middle finger reaction immediately.

Adidas will be copy & paste design like other 60 teams around the world they have done for small clubs.
