I know someone who used to work at Castore and when I spoke to them about the kit quite a while ago they mentioned certain features on the kits. The pattern on the home one was apparently related to the Badge from the 1920s and this pattern on the Black shirt may be related to the design that was on Mann Street (Baltic Triangle?) - think it was called Northern Lights.
Looks like the info I got on this aspect was correct which I mentioned last week. Glad to see it looks a lot better on the actual kit than those leaked efforts. Can actually make out the pattern.
I personally think it is a very nice kit, but is spoilt by the Stake.com sponsor.
Like everyone else i'm disgusted by the cost and I thought prices like £70-£80 were outrageous so to see costs of over £100 for certain versions is a disgrace. Not a chance i'd pay that.
I actually like the Castore logo but I have no idea what Castore or Everton are thinking with those training tops with the huge Castore Logo on them. I genuinely don't know why someone would choose to buy that version.
