No More Hummel: Rangers to Sign "Castore" Kit Deal
Rangers earlier today confirmed they've finally managed to cut ties with SportsDirect.com, which also means that the 2020-21 kits will produced by a new brand instead of Hummel.
"Rangers will begin the 2020/21 football season with a new kit and retail operations partner, following the conclusion of all existing contracts."
James Bisgrove, Director of Commercial and Marketing said: “The club is incredibly excited to introduce its new kit & retail partner to Rangers supporters world-wide imminently. This represents a clean slate and marks the start of a new era in the club’s commercial retail operations. The partnership will be a significant step forward in Rangers’ recent history.”
While the club stated that an official announcement is due in the coming weeks, rumors have it that Rangers will sign a kit deal "Castore", a "Premium Sportswear" brand founded in Liverpool in 2016.
It would be Castore's first foray into football and team sports in general.
Its website says: "Castore exists for one single reason - to make athletes better."
"Our ethos is built upon the philosophy of Better Never Stops, an ideal deeply infused in our DNA and something we strive to live every single day."
"We utilise advanced engineering and unique technical fabrics to create the highest quality sportswear in the world for athletes who demand the very best."
"Designed with a passion for innovation with specialist features to help optimise athletic performance in all conditions."
Castore is also known for producing the kit used by tennis star Andy Murray, who is also a shareholder.
As per The Scottish Sun, Castore will sign a number of kit deals going into the 2020-21 football season. £7.5m were raised from investors to help the brand's move into pro sports.

Striking Mesopotamian-Inspired Iraq 2026 World Cup Pre-Match Shirt Released
With the launch of their new official match kits, German sportswear brand Jako has revealed a striking new pre-match shirt for the Iraq national team. While the match kits utilize subtle designs, this warm-up top takes the cultural homage to an entirely new and vibrant level.
The Jako Iraq 2026 World Cup pre-match shirt is a bold display of ancient Mesopotamian artistry. The jersey features thick, horizontal bands of highly detailed patterns running across the entire torso and sleeves. These intricate motifs, rendered in contrasting gold, white, and black, draw direct inspiration from traditional Babylonian ornamentation, Assyrian floral designs, and the iconic decorative elements famously found on the legendary Ishtar Gate.
To balance the complex and busy graphic layout, the crew neck collar and sleeve cuffs are kept simple in solid black.
