 Always prefer home kits with maroon socks. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

black socks > maroon socks imo.  Controversial I know.  But it looks better, classier

Ooft a thing of beauty, take my money now.

Black socks 👌🏻

Burnley announce move from Umbro to Castore. Presumably first of many, if not all currently on Umbro books. Looks like Umbro diamond may vanish from professional kits.

Mentions us in this article:

 

"We will also supply, under the Umbro brand, to Heart of Midlothian in the Scottish Premiership, where Castore is already the global kit partner for Glasgow Rangers FC, and England Rugby men’s and women’s teams at a time of heightened interest in the sport during the Guinness Six Nations."

Thank **** it’s under the Umbro brand. I don’t want the Castore “flying vagina” logo on our shirts.

I'm surprised we didn't try to cash in with a European kit in 22/23. Wonder if they've commissioned one for next season? 

[Ricardo Quaresma]

I presume we could wriggle out of this deal if we wanted to; it's not what we agreed to, is it, after all?

[PhoenixHearts]

I still don't really understand the Umbro/Castore partnership. I need someone to explain it to me like i'm a five year old.

 

The hope is that any clubs contracted to Umbro still make use of Umbro's designers, aesthetics and technology and Castore is merely a partner for wider distribution and logistics.

 

The fear is it just means using Castore's terrible materials and cheapy outdated 2010's design features but with an Umbro badge slapped on instead.

 

If it's the latter, then this is not what we agreed to as a club when we teamed with Umbro and I think in that case we should cut bait and partner with Hummel, Kappa or even Errea.

When we had the ASICS kit in early 2000’s, they were actually manufactured by TFG who supplied kit to the likes of Killie and Ayr.

I think there's a high likelihood they'll try to stiff us with such like; how many will we shift? 10,000?

Early 2000's was Errea. Asics was 93-95.

Think you should spend less time worrying about the whole Umbro/Castore thingy and more time making some of your amazing mock ups 😉

That would probably be passable if it was all maroon.  The white part just needs a medallion to finish it off.

I look a good retro kit, but this is taking it too far ....

It's bad anyway, but the sponsors just make it so much worse. 

 

Why would you go to the effort of having a "classic" design like that, then slap a big green logo on the front.

Not only is that honking, I'm surprised it's been allowed due to the proximity of the laces to players throats.

We're gonna end up with that Umbro logo as well aren't we 😩

 

 

Just seen this so there's still hope. Inside diamond is filled in but at least it's not red.

Also doesn't have a Castore vibe so nice to see it looks like Umbro kits are still being designed and made by Umbro

Why would they destroy such an iconic logo like that? That's dreadful!

Probably because they've changed their logo several times in their history and what looks to be the new one is actually a throwback to what they've had previously, before the current one, which only came in during the 70s, before most strips had the maker's logo. But the current one (or similar) has been around so long that, like you say, it's become iconic.

Don't like the look of the kit but the Umbro badge filled in like this would be better for us aye. Red would look crap.

It’s all about money. Some of the top clubs in England want more money than Umbro can pay, so they go to Castore who have sourced a massive amount of cash.

Umbro have joined Castore to allow them to stay in the market. They will continue to have the Umbro brand and hopefully our shirts will continue with them. Next season’s shirt is Umbro.

Ohhhh hello 😍

[Tollcross OB]

I once visited a TFG factory in think it was in Wishaw. I expected to see to see school clothes to be being produced as  that was they supplied most of the main supermarkets but instead they were producing the Reebok classic Vneck Liverpool strip. My amateur team had a TFG strip it was good quality.

That looks terrible quality. It has that cheap white on the inside and no umbro tags on the hem. Wouldn't surprise me if that was actually made by Castore. If you look at all our recent Umbro shirts, the fabric is the same colour on the inside.

Hopefully the club release our kits for the summer holidays.

Seems to be a fairly standard grey colour. 

 

It's not bad. The most disgusting thing about it is that they want £68 for it in their club shop
