Castore

[ricki herberts moustache]

I've got a white Adidas away shirt with João Moutinho on the back going spare.

what size?

 

[Sheriff Woody]

what size?

It's a large.

 

[Jonzy54]

Whether we receive £1,2 or 3 M it is change down the back of the sofa in comparison to what clubs like Chelsea and Man Utd get
Fosun aren’t daft and I am sure this is a sprat to catch a mackerel and they will see it as a perfect opportunity to maximise financial gain through other avenues alongside this deal.

Didn’t we sign a four year deal with Adidas?

Didn’t we sign a four year deal with Adidas?

Yes. But we appear to be getting out one year early.

I'm not sure how much more info is in this article compared to the Sportcal one as that one needed a subscription. This says a deal would only be for supplying the kit and does not include wider retail rights.

Wolves agree ‘UK£1m per season’ Castore kit deal - SportsPro

UK sportswear brand signs ‘long-term’ deal to replace Adidas.

when the bloke wrote that article, he must have questioned the figures involved

Decent post day with all the new shirts landing at my door, including the Bukta home and away.

The quality on the Bukta shirts are unreal, I’m so pleased with them. If the Castore news is true, with a tailored approach we could have some amazing kit next season.

Is it just me that thinks if they can put these retro kits out for £35, usually better quality, then why are we being charged nearly double for the current shirts?

The Bukta ones are apparently great quality being produced by the company themselves but for me the other retro shirts on sale arent better quality than the playing shirts wether it being adidas,puma, burrda etc. Many times I've been excited about a retro top launch only to decide against buying it when seeing it in the club shop.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Give me quality all day but, for me, this is tacky application of a derivative logo.

Good luck View attachment 18421

Looks like Lyle and Scott, from a distance.

The logo looks bobbins.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

If it's accurate I can only assume Wolves think they can make up the shortfall by producing their own range of leisure wear or partnering with another company to produce it. I'm guessing the deal with Newcastle includes the playing kit and the rest of the retail rights.

I presume so as well. Fosun may well have the ability to cut manufacturing and distribution deals in places like China and the US, and generate a much larger share of the sales revenue than the current deal, and have more control over the outlets the shirts are sold through.

If so, the comparison of £1m vs £3m is apples and oranges as Fosun/Wolves will have a much larger share of the value chain than with Adidas . Who knows, Fosun may also consider buying the company or setting up their own sportswear company at some point.

Was thinking they are trying to copy the Aston Martin one

Yeah it's not great.

Maybe this is just me, but take away the feathers and it looks like a thong.

edit: Also, 210 EUR for a sweatshirt?! I might pass on that...

I don't mind the logo at all. If and it's a big IF, they produce some quality gear I'll be pleased.

If they live up to the hype (admittedly their own hype) it could be quality. If as I strongly suspect, the quality is lacking in order to satisfy a lower price point then we'll all be very annoyed.

I personally think the logo would look good as the main sponsor. Could that be on the cards?

Or maybe Aston Martin as the main sponsor.

Wouldn't want "Aston" written on our shirts.

I've never been a fan of having the kit supplier as main sponsor aswell. I think it looks like "we couldn't get a sponsor so got the company who makes the kits to do it as a last resort!"

May see Sure as main kit sponsor.

Probably be the best one we've had for years. Since Goodyear perhaps.

Who cares about perception, if they're offering the most then let them sponsor the shirt.

Would look far better and be more ethical than a bookies or pay day loan lender.

Free sponsorship for Nike, they'll be happy.

 

[The Runner]

Think it's unlikely. Sure already have training kit deals with half a dozen Premier League clubs. That seems to be the way they're going.

Yeah I've noticed that. Dont know if it was on here or a Facebook chat that I said I knew Sure had tie ins with other prem teams but not for any clothing sponsorship apart from with us .... next game Roy Hodgson was in the dugout at Molineux with Sure emblazoned on his Palace managers coat!

I know where you're coming from but there is no suggestion that they are interested in becoming the main sponsor.

Any suggestion by me of their sponsoring the shirt is completely unsubstantiated.

I merely posed the question.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

You sure about that?

Also having been in a number of packed sweaty pubs full of blokes in ill-fitting polyester shirts on match days I can see the irony in that Sure tick across their shirts whilst that BO what's through the air.

 

[Arboleus Wolf]

Still going to look ****e if ManBetX are the sponsor

Won't be as you can't have betting companies as sponsors from next season.

 

[Arboleus Wolf]

Has this actually be confirmed anywhere?

 

[Hot Fuss]

Won't be as you can't have betting companies as sponsors from next season.

That’s not confirmed yet. Possible ban from autumn apparently but no decision as yet as far Iv heard.

 

[BigSteve]

Has this actually be confirmed anywhere?

Don't think so. And surely there would be a grace period for at least 21/22?

 

[OLDGOLD]

So...I'm late to this thread...
Who does he play for? Is he any good? Will he sign?

 

[Superted]

They could announce the ban but it would need to be announced ahead of time i.e. If it was announced this year I would expect the ban to take effect from the start of the 22/23 season or the end of current contracts, whichever is the latter.

They couldn't force the termination of a commercial contract between two private companies if that contract was entered into in good faith and in compliance with the rules operating at the time.

 

[JOSWolf]

Keep seeing the title to this thread and thinking its a new signing!

Enzo Castore, 17 year old ball playing centre back heavily tipped to be joining Juventus in the summer. Set to make his full debut for the Azzuri in March after an incredible breakout season for Fiorentina, and hoping to star for Italy at the Euro's.

West Ham and Wolves are also rumoured to be interested.

 

[Wandsworth Wolf]

Their brand exposure has suddenly risen due to Rangers’ success.

I read an article about them today (in cityam, I think). They are an ambitious brand, no doubt about it. One of the owners said they are definitely in the Premier league next year.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Noticed this morning they’re making Sydney Roosters jersey this year (NRL - Australian Rugby League).

Always been a ‘busy’ shirt whoever the manufacturer has been, but some of their other stuff looks good. Notice they also do women’s shirts, unlike Adidas.
