In XXXS or XXXXL? I've never seen them anything like this. Not the local knock off market you talking about here

look at county golf

I clicked on 3 polo shirts, all XS, and one base layer, 4XL . Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Has anyone bought Castore gear? Looks nice but has a scary price tag

I do know that all the football teams who have switched to Castore kits say that they are absolutely terrible quality. Castore bought out Umbro, I believe

I know Villa had a problem but I'm not aware of any others. No issues when they made for The Toon, and blimey they sell enough shirts up here that you would know if there were problems.

But Newcastle fans only actually wear them when it's sub-zero and they're unlikely to sweat. Otherwise they're bare-chested and the shirt is tied around their wrist.

That's interesting. Not heard anything locally, either press or people. Fair enough

They moved back to Adidas partly because the Castore deal was not good for the club, Ashley cock up, and partly emotion for the fans as they did some iconic kits during the Keegan era. Obviously big money but it would have been an easy decision to go with Adidas for them

I believe Nike bought Umbro. I understand it was largely to get the England kit deal, which is a massive money maker.

I'm guessing that was the stuff for £6.50

To be fair I just clicked on one polo for £15 and all sizes were available:

I once bought a Castore hoodie from County Golf and it went straight back. The material felt very cheap (you do get what you paid for).

Nike used to own Umbro but sold it in 2012. Castore apparently have the "Umbro Professional Team Sports" sublicense which means they can market and supply the Umbro brand.

Wow I didn't realise that, 12 years ago too. I had just assumed that Nike were letting the brand die.

Wearing one of their golf hoodies right now. Think it cost me £20 from County Golf, only reason I'm wearing it. Had to put aside football allegiances when buying it as well.

It's actually decent, quite stretchy.

Not sure they count as boujee but my son's KZG irons are things of beauty

I'm on a group where Links Legend Bags and Vessel seem to be "de rigeur!"

I paid less for my first car than some of those bags!
