After the dull and generic kits provided to us by Puma, over the years, there was a fair amount of excitement that we were going to have a kit manufacturer who actually considered the club.
After all, every thing we received from Puma seemed like a hand-me-down from another club.
Hopes that Castore would create a new dawn of kits were dashed when “four gate” became apparent and, despite a decent away kit, they have done nothing since to alleviate issues.
The latest issue to arise from Castore is the realisation of what it would cost to actually purchase Newcastle apparel.
No-one will need reminding that we have been in an 18 month pandemic recently, meaning that many people have lost their jobs and have faced poverty. We have volunteers around the ground, collecting for the food bank so that the less fortunate can simply survive.
Whilst all these things are very much part of supporters lives, the club shop attempts to sell hoodies for £165!
Take a look at this video below after a NUFC fan went into the club shop – now run by Castore themselves:
This is a callous and disgusting attempt to squeeze money out of dedicated fans.
Obviously, businesses exist to make money but to attempt to manipulate our love for football like this is despicable.
It’s cheap tat from a down market supplier of random *****, that home kit is the worst I’ve seen or felt in a long long while. 😳

a kit manufacturer who actually considered the club????? What are you going on about?
“Four gate”? If that’s all fans have to worry about they need to get their **** together and get a life.
I haven’t bought a Newcastle shirt for years , ever since I saw that those black stripes looked like the number eleven!
Here’s an idea – if you think the hoodies are expensive, DON’T BUY ONE, then it costs nothing.
What a bunch of kids!

People who can afford it, wouldn’t but Castore.

I haven’t bought a shirt since the Northern Rock ones. Anyone with a wong@ or f*n88 shirt is dead to me.
