Everton Crest Falls Off in First-Ever Match With Castore Kits
Jul 19, 2024, by Chris
- Kit Malfunction: Everton's new Castore kits experienced a significant issue in their first match, with the team badge falling off Idrissa Gueye's shirt within the first 30 minutes.
- Recurring Issue: This incident suggests that Castore has not resolved the quality problems from the previous season, despite being a new manufacturer for the team.
- Poor Debut: The badge issue has caused a really poor start for Castore and has created a negative outlook for the brand's future with Everton.
Everton FC's first appearance in their first jersey from new manufacturer Castore went as badly as could be expected. Big thanks to @TheyThinkKits and No Context Everton for the spot.

Badge Falls of Everton Kit in First Pre-Season Match With Kit
Just 30 minutes into the game, the badges started to detach from Idrissa Gueye's shirt. By halftime, the badge had fallen off completely, much to the amusement and frustration of fans.
Did Castore not manage to fix its 24-25 kits?
This debut marks a really bad start for Castore as Everton's kit manufacturer and casts a very poor eye on Castore. The brand apparently did not manage to fix the issues with last season's kits.
Evertons first run out in their new kit by manufacturer Castore tonight....

We really hope for Castore's well-being that the crest issue was a one-off for 2024-2025 due to the stormy conditions, but if not, the 2024-25 season could be another nightmare.
Did you expect that Castore would have problems with loose crests in the 2024-2025 season again? Let us know in the comments below.
