Blackburn Rovers Signs Castore Deal as Macron Takes Legal Action
- New Kit Supplier: Castore has signed a deal to become Blackburn Rovers' new kit supplier.
- Legal Action: Macron is taking legal action against Blackburn Rovers due to an exclusivity clause breach.
- Kit Uncertainty: It is uncertain whether the 26-27 Blackburn Rovers kits will feature Castore or Umbro logos.
Castore has secured a deal to become Blackburn Rovers' new kit supplier, Footy Headlines can reveal, with outgoing manufacturer Macron pursuing legal action.
Castore/Umbro to Make Blackburn 26-27 Kits
It remains to be seen if the Blackburn Rovers 26-27 kits will feature the Castore logo or the logo of Umbro, for which Castore has the license rights and which has a much better reputation.
Macron's decision to take the matter to court stems from an exclusivity clause included in the contract, according to The Telegraph. This clause prevented Blackburn from entering into negotiations with another kit supplier before the end of the period reserved for Macron. The Italian manufacturer accuses the club of breaching this clause by initiating premature discussions with other brands, which could include Castore or Umbro.
