Certified Legendary Thread #ReturnTheWings, Part 2: Job Done!

[THE A5]

Jumper and things look great but my gut feel about castore is that they won’t last long with. They seem to have a huge incident against the rangers and in the mist of a huge sponsorship drive.

I know that they’re bigger than ISC and BlK but you get those vibes from Castore

Prices on the guernseys have dropped from $130 to $110. Good to see.

I've been rocking a jumper similar to the 2006 away jumper since I got it (unsure of the year, it's definitely not 2006 though, but it's the away jumper from back then which was the only way to get the wings, and close enough to the one we wore in the 2006 Grand Final that I didn't want to upgrade haha). But I did pick up a 2020 home jumper for $30 when the team store was flogging them off at the end of the season. Which is close enough to the jumper we wore in the 2018 Grand Final.

Haven't opened it yet. Bring on Round 1.

New one shipped yesterday

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

The logos look stitched on not heat transferred?

 

[BigVic]

Looks like the old logo but it has grown on me

 

[THE A5]

It shouldn’t bug me but it doesn’t surely they should have ironed that shirt

Looks like Castore don’t know what the **** they’re doing:

News - New Jumpers for 2021

was just doing some quick maths. 13 different apparel sponsors spread out over 18 teams with puma (3 clubs) nike (2 clubs) and new balance (2 clubs) as the only apparel sponsors with multiple teams 13 different apparel sponsors though, that has to be some sort of record for the number of...

[DieSwans]

Yep....

I was suss when they kept self proclaiming they're a premium brand.

This whole stitching fiasco and the blue line on the side is something else.

 

[MIKE85]

I’d like to see the whole thing before I get too outraged. And I’d like to see the player issues, which I guess we’ll see on photo day in a few weeks time

 

[THE A5]

Castore has been in trouble for shitty kits in the past.

 

[TheHumanShoe]

It's... Yeah.

 

[bl4ke]

It’s funny that we can get the Castore merch now but they still wear the old stuff. Potentially they re-signed a short term deal with ISC that hasn’t expired yet

Looks like they arrived today

The badges on the training guernsey seem very low

 

[bl4ke]

Stitching job leaves a lot to be desired


Are they actually taking the piss?

 

[ADstv]

The stitching is a fail, might just stick with the blue polo this year, wonder what the material is like compared to the Puma and ISC retails?

 

[squashface]

Wtf that stitching is foul. How could that get signed off as acceptable?

 

[THE A5]

The colours look putrid. Puma may have pissed us off towards the end but they produce quality

 

[THE A5]

It looks more yellow than gold too

 

[Bender_]

inb4 posters complaining about other posters complaining

 

[DanWCE]

That stitching is rank. Do not want.

 

[THE A5]

I hope they respond this time.

 

[DieSwans]

Also not sure if its an extra large or something but shape wise it looks a bit out too....

 

[MIKE85]

Retails generally look like potato sacks. The player issues will be the ones to judge off I reckon

 

[The Stid]

The stitching is a fail, might just stick with the blue polo this year, wonder what the material is like compared to the Puma and ISC retails?

The material has been compared to bathers which I assumed more like a rashie

 

[The Stid]

It's... Yeah.

Did you take photos of any of the other gear?
