They're just trying to do everything as cheaply as humanly possible, like the others. But at least the bigger players have got economies of scale, so can use better material for a lower cost. I hope this is the next thing Henk gets his teeth into, and decides that Castore are shit and need binning off.

Yep, I do wonder, given American sport's relationships with Nike, whether we may go down that line again, with Heck on board I can see it happening.


How long is this deal with Castore ?

Castore is the worst brand we've ever had, regardless of if they're paying us more.

Its worth losing a bit in sponsorship to have a solid manufacturer so we look like a serious club not a 3rd rate nobody club.

I pray for Nike 🙏

Based on Fulham's kit this year, I'll pass.

Puma make nice looking kit but aren't they a bit dodgy on ethics.   I would have Luke back if we could

Difficult to throw shade at the Fulham kit when you look at ours.  I'd take Adidas in a heartbeat - I think they're by far the nicest sports brand, but then I do like 80's and 90's retro.

My Macron shirts were fine tbh 🤷

Macron would be the next shittest though.

Same here.  I don't get the Luke love in to be honest, the kits were OK but at the end of the day it's not a kit manufacturer, more a second rate designer brand. We need the best.

Yep, didn't mind the Kappa shirts at all and whilst I thought Luke was a bit 'small-time' when it was announced, the shirt was quality and a future classic.

Agreed. If nothing else it would annoy my brother.
