Those with a keen eye for fashion like me will notice how the neck on the shirt mirrors the shape of the wings on the Castore logo. A nice little bit of attention to detail.


Very astute.
So, does my bum look big in this ?

Positively John McGinn-esque.

It's okay, needs more claret on the collar and the sleeves look very wide. Hopefully there's a long sleeve version with claret cuffs.

It’s the minimal claret trim that makes it look classy

The minimal claret works well on the body but just needs a bit more on the collar and cuffs. Hopefully we'll see that on the long-sleeved version.

Well spotted, Gok Wan.

The k is at the end of the wrong word.

I always thought our late 70’s Umbro away kit was untouchable but I actually think this is a contender. Identical in style.

I hate our yellow away kits buy that is a stunning shirt. It's a nice rich shade of yellow and the claret & blue works well with it, topped off with the overly ornate, embroidered crest which seems just right.

They are both absolutely solid.
I like them both. Although I wish they'd finished off the sleeves on the home shirt with a thin claret line, as on the away version.

Just my opinion of course but.....

Home - a bit boring - i will wait till i see it in the flesh

Away - bit too West Ham for me  - but again might look good live.

I wonder if we are to have the Professional and fat bloke versions again

The only issue I have with the home shirt is that it doesn't look very claret.  It might be just the picture not fully picking up the colour but it does look a bit rustic to me.  Hope I'm wrong.

edit: I'm also a bit colour blind so it might be just me.

It's not just you, the claret looks a bit 'weak' but it might be the lighting. Preferred the vibrant shade of claret in the 'Luke' shirt.

But almost inevitably identical to the real thing.
