The worst kept secret at St James’ Park is finally out in the open – Castore have been officially confirmed as the club’s new kit suppliers.
A ‘multi-year partnership’ has been announced this morning, seeing the up and coming sportswear brand finally replace PUMA at Newcastle United.
The brand will be creating a ‘bespoke kit’ for the club ahead of the 2021/22 season – due to be released across July and August – and will also take control of the club shop, as well as opening additional retail stores across the city.
See Castore’s announcement video below, which briefly shows Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron in Castore’s official training kits, along with reactions to the news from MD Lee Charnley and co-founder Tom Beahon:
Lee Charnley:
“We are delighted to confirm the new partnership between Newcastle United and Castore.
“Castore has already built a reputation as an aspirational brand in a highly competitive sportswear market and we feel they are a great partner for the club.
“We welcome them to Newcastle United and look forward to developing a mutually beneficial relationship.”
Tom Beahon:
“I am thrilled to be partnering with one of the most historic and famous clubs in English football.
“Newcastle has a huge and deeply passionate fan base, and we look forward to giving the ‘Toon Army’ something else to get excited about next season.
“We believe the partnership signals not only a new shirt for the new season but also a new start, a new better for this iconic club.”
