Castore Kit Rips Again: Sixth Time This Season
Nov 5, 2023, by Chris
- Castore Kit Rips: A Castore kit ripped for the sixth time this season, this time on Feyenoord's Quinten Timber, although he still scored a goal with the damaged shirt.
- Recurring Issue: This is the sixth instance of a Castore kit ripping during a game this season, with a previous incident occurring with Newcastle United's Callum Wilson.
- No Immediate Fix: Despite the recurring issue, Castore has not commented and it is unlikely they will fix their existing kits as the rips don't affect player performance.
Update: Another weekend of football, another ripping Castore football kit. This time, it hit Feyenoord's Quinten Timber, but it did not restrict him. He scored a goal with the defect kit, before switching to a new one. The cutout happened at the part that features the Castore logo, but that won't help the brand.

Another weekend of football, another Castore kit rip.
The Castore Kit Curse of the 23-24 Season Continues
During the Premier League match between Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, Callum Wilson's shirt got slightly torn, revealing three mouse-hole-sized holes.
It's at least the fifth time this season that a Castore kit has ripped. Castore did not comment on the problem yet. As it does not affect the performance of players, Footy Headlines think Castore won't fix it for their existing kits.
One thing seems sure, though: the Castore kit curse is not going away anytime soon.
Will Castore update their kits to prevent that from happening? Let us know in the comments below.
Nike Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Leaked - New Image
A new image of the Nike Inter Milan 26-27 third kit has surfaced, confirming the retro-inspired look that pays tribute to the club's iconic 1997-98 third shirt worn during the Ronaldo era.
Hong Kong 2026 Home Kit Released
Nike and the Football Association of Hong Kong, China have quietly revealed the new Hong Kong 2026 home shirt.
The Nike Hong Kong 2026 home jersey combines two shades of red in a subtle half-and-half design, with a centrally aligned chest layout. The circular HKFA crest is positioned right in the center of the chest, accompanied by a white Nike Swoosh directly beneath it.
First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
