Having Castore as a Kit Supplier Is a Nightmare
- Kit Quality Issues: Castore kits are still experiencing issues with ripping and logos falling off.
- Order Fulfillment Problems: Castore is having issues with fulfilling orders correctly, leading to fans receiving incorrect items.
- Discounted Merchandise: Teams are heavily discounting Castore merchandise, some as much as 70% off.
It has been relatively quiet about Castore in the past few weeks, especially compared to the reports about sweat problems with Aston Villa's kits and ripping shirts some months ago. However, Castore is far from having solved its problems.
Castore Has Not Yet Fixed Problems Yet
Since the beginning of the year 2024, we have come across several new problems with the Castore kits and the order management of the brand.
Castore Kits Keep Ripping
It is nothing new, but Castore kits are still ripping. This is only logical as the teams continue to use the shirts provided by Castore ahead of the season.
An odd rip happened to Anthony Gordon some weeks ago when his opponent caught a little yet long part of his Newcastle Castore jersey.
Logos of Castore Kits Come Off
Castore's problems do not stop with ripping kits. Another funny incident happened when Feyenoord's Santiago Giménez lost the badge of his kit, with only the star surviving.
Castore Has Problems Fulfilling Orders Correctly
Castore's latest big problem is that the brand apparently makes a mess of orders. People are reporting that they get wrongly printed shirts delivered - one fan even claims that he got four Hall shirts instead of the one he ordered.
Castore Teams (Have to) Sell Kits With Heavy Discount
What is not solely a thing with Castore kits is that the shirts are already offered at a huge discount. Wolves is selling its kits for 50% off, while Newcastle even gives you 70% off the 23-24 third kit.
Another incident was when an Atheltic Bilbao fan spotted a Sevilla label attached to an Atheltic jacket.
Will Castore Fix the Problems For the 24-25 Season?
Aston Villa and Newcastle say goodbye to Castore.
Will Castore Lose Every Premier League Team?
Perhaps the most important question now is whether Castore will manage to solve the problems with its kits and store management for the 2024-2025 season. While the problem with the torn kits should be solved by next season (if Castore takes it seriously), the recent problems with the correct fulfillment of orders do not give hope for any good.

At least Castore kits perform on the pitch, with Bayer Leverkusen having an incredible season wearing Castore, just like Aston Villa.

Dorking Wanderers 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
English National League South side Dorking Wanderers have officially revealed their new home and away kits for the 2026-2027 season.
The new 26-27 home shirt introduces a classic and timeless design, stripping things back to a traditional aesthetic. It features bold red and white vertical stripes that draw inspiration from historic European football heritage. To complete the clean and authentic on-pitch look, the home jersey is perfectly paired with deep blue shorts and traditional white socks.
Following the launch of the primary strip, Dorking Wanderers also introduced their new 26-27 away kit, which delivers a much sharper and modern edge. This secondary jersey is defined by striking black and orange stripes, creating a strong contrast between dark and vibrant tones.
Notably, the club has thoughtfully replaced the betting sponsor with health and wellbeing partner Nuffield Health for all junior kits, while also actively reducing the price of youth shirts by £6 down to £39 to help younger fans afford their colors.

Special Goiás 2026 'Romaria' Kit Released
Brazilian side Goiás EC and technical sponsor Diadora have officially launched a special edition "Romaria" kit for the 2026 season. This unique jersey is designed to honor the deep-rooted faith and cultural traditions of the club's supporters, known as the Emerald Nation.
Tying heavily into the local religious pilgrimages that take place in the state of Goiás, the release operates under the fitting motto, "Faith is not explained. It is carried," successfully blending regional heritage with modern football apparel.
The design of the new Goiás 2026 Romaria shirt is anchored by an off-white base that is heavily detailed with an intricate, tonal graphic pattern. This all-over print features ornate filigree and religious iconography directly inspired by the Divino Pai Eterno (Divine Eternal Father), a central figure in the state's famous annual pilgrimage. To contrast the subtle background artwork, Diadora has applied its logo and the classic circular 'G' club crest in a sharp, dark green on the chest, while subtle gold piping accents the shoulder lines.
The most striking colorful details of the kit are reserved for the sleeve cuffs, which feature vibrant, tricolor bands of blue, green, and yellow. Upon closer inspection, these colored stripes are inscribed with repeating "Divino Pai Eterno" text, further cementing the jersey's homage to the region's spiritual traditions.

Aldosivi 2026 Home and Away Kits Released
Kappa has officially unveiled the new home and away kits for Argentine side Aldosivi ahead of the second half of the 2026 season. Launched under the campaign themes of "Familia" and "Barrio," the Italian sportswear brand has delivered a set of bespoke designs that celebrate the club's rich history and deep connection to its local community in Mar del Plata.
The Kappa Aldosivi 2026 home shirt is part of the "Familia" collection, which serves as a tribute to the inherited passion that unites different generations of the club's supporters. The design stays remarkably true to the team's historical visual identity, featuring the classic green and yellow vertical stripes. The green stripes have a subtle pattern.
Complementing the primary strip is the new Aldosivi 2026 away kit, introduced as part of the "Barrio" collection to honor the local neighborhood and the people who define the club's everyday identity. This alternative jersey opts for a modern look in black with gradient logos and elements.
