I became aware of them last year as they had a shop in Liverpool One with a big cut out of our Stevie in the window, that no doubt some Rangers fan has punched.

Never heard of them until last few days. Had a look at their website. The Newcastle one is OK. The Wolves one is terrible- it looks yellow rather than Gold. Like some non-league effort.

The colour variation in Wolves shirts over the years from Bright Dayglo orange to the colour of piss.
Although some of our efforts at Claret are poor.

No, I'd not. I'd never heard of Under Armour either before their involvement with us.

For a number of years I assumed Etihad was a sportswear firm!

I’d still like a smart Umbro number if they are still going. Out of the big boys - we’ve never had adidas and it would probably look like a west ham kit if we did. The Nike ones looked ok, but were pretty shit quality. Probably the Hummel and diadora ones were the best since 2000. Kappa have done some nice ones recently, but I still haven’t worn the Large size away one for this season as it’s more like a kids size on me! The Luke ones home and away were absolute class. Still kicking myself that I didn’t get one.

I'd rather we stayed well clear of any organizations who support fat Americans shooting endangered animals in Africa.

Depends on whether the home kit has the 'right' shade of claret on the body and light blue sleeves.

Phil & Tom Beahon the founders of Castore are good friends with Gerrard so it's no great shock to be fair!

I always thought the brand was started by Andy Murray but I've just checked and he is part owner.

I don't rate the Kits they have made so far so it is a no from me.
