£95 matehow much are they?
That’s not embroidered mate.That's shocking. Looks like cheap pressing and snagging embroidery again.
Shame. Hope the kids kits have a sponsor free version this year.
"Horrific". In what way?
I'm no big defender of Castore as such, but what else do you expect it to be like on a cagoule??
I must admit I splashed out a bit on last seasons kit and training tops I'll no doubt buy some items again this season but I'll maybe use the sales a bit better.I love the gear, just can't justify £48 for a t shirt when it isn't even a kit.
Im totally pissed at them, i had a trip to gleneagles last week for three rounds of golf, ordered a bunch of new golf gear on the 12 June, still not arrived and no response to the email that I sent 2 days ago.There’s not much they have brought out that isn’t a smart as %^*& design, its supply and quality thats been the issue for some.
Getting pretty sick of seeing every thread about the new gear being taken over by the same names who seem just desperate to find something to hate.
Absolutely fine with people saying they don’t like the stuff, but the constant nitpicking, melodrama and hysteria over minuscule details is getting a bit old.
To be fair to Sherbrook, its a £75 cagoule."Horrific". In what way?

Mate the red training is a cracker,genuinely wait till you see it in person.Is it just me but the angle of the R in our badge is not straight in a lot of those items.
It’s the same with my home top and the gold champions top, both the bands at the v neck are lopsided and my ‘CHAMPIONS’ embroidery letters are different sizes and both Turkish made shite.
I was really looking forward to Castore and was hoping they were going to deliver, I bought the champions top hoping that they would’ve stopped using the Turkish garbage, sadly not, the stuff they give us is shite.
Sadly, I’m not giving them another penny as they are taking us for mugs whilst making a fortune. I’m not letting my heart rule my head again. I really hope our next supplier is one of the big recognised sports brands. I’m sure they will review Castore’s dealings with us and they will be clamouring for Rangers business.

You already have a dedicated Castore moaning thread, no need to keep repeating it.As is the constant posts, like your own, stating how fed up you are with others pointing out the shit quality we’re being served by Castore.
It’s a message board with different opinions.
I’m sure those genuinely unhappy with Castore are just as fed up with posts like yours.
Just don’t wear it or washbI wouldn't be confident of that staying in place
Might be so mate, I guess I’ll have to see it in the flesh before buying as opposed to buying ‘unseen’.Mate the red training is a cracker,genuinely wait till you see it in person.
Said it before the pics online don’t do it justice.

Mair like Shirebrook loyal - amarite ?
No, take a break from FF for a while for that post.
If I’m honest, it all looks like cheap crap
China or Turkey... that is the questionI like a lot of that but the red top with gold writing just makes me think of China
The way people still go on about this is strange, it’s ill Phil like.China or Turkey... that is the question
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHThe way people still go on about this is strange, it’s ill Phil like.
Castore have made a lot of %^*& ups but that was one that got corrected quite quickly.
Shamelessly stolen from other threadChina or Turkey... that is the question
Alright you’ve done me thereWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH
I think the red stuff looks really good in those pics, really wasn’t a fan judging from the website.Big fan of the lighter blue stuff. The red doesn't actually look as bad as I first thought.
The navy stuff I think does look a bit meh, but I think the lighter blue stuff looks great. Maybe not £70 great, but good none the lessCan’t help but feel anyone talking this up has got the blinkers on.
Cheap tat indeed. Can only hope the effort and expense has gone into the playing kits.
They were sold out of every size yesterday.Anyone going to the shop today? Just wondering if there are any white and blue training tops in stock? (2XL). On the Isle of Mull but hoping to send my sister in to get one for me!
fat bastard loyal

Shop around and look at other teams. I’ve had a look at Chelsea and Liverpool’s gear, both made by Nike. They do have the odd “elite” level items which are the price you would expect to pay but their normal fitting training gear for the rank and file fan is all much lower than Castore. Arsenal and Man United with Adidas is the same situation. The quality of the gear is so much better as well.
Now I get manufacturing costs are likely lower for bigger brands but that’s down to Castore to sort. Fans shouldn’t be penalised for that. Also they give it big licks saying they gear we’d be served up is quality items when reality it’s not. That black and red anorak/cagoule item in the shop just now is one of the most embarrassing items I’ve ever seen have a Rangers badge (which will probably fall off) ever made.
I totally understand people will buy what they want and everything sells but a lot of fans are being priced out which isn’t fair. At least make the items the same price as what other teams sell them for. It’s a red neck what Castore are charging compared to others.
None of this is "elite stuff" on their site.

Prices look bang on the same as the Rangers prices in all honesty.
Their "Elite" training top is £105
Chelsea Elite Drill Top - Black

People keep repeating lies about the price points and it's swallowed on each thread.
The "people are being priced out" line is another one that is played up more than it should be.
you are talkIng nonsense. Nikes tech packs have always been an expensive product but look at the Strike range. Their 1/4 zips for adults are £59 - Castores are £68 - you’ve strangely used that above but called it drill top And it’s nearly £10 cheaper than our version!
I've called it exactly what it's called on the link which is a "drill top"
Maybe click the link yourself.
Spot on.Yeah, same here.
I get that folk have had issues but the chance for them to jump on a grainy picture on the internet to criticise it is just too much for them to resist.
Beyond that, comments about free delivery over £150 where people unilaterally decide it should be "£x" instead. are just a moan for the sake of it.
Was the same when the EL group stage prices went up last year and it was £120. "It should be £99"
No, it shouldn't. It sold out so the price point was bang on.
This stuff if the same. There's a premium on it because it's football gear. It's always been the way. I was paying £45 for strips in the early to mid 90s. People saying that they should still be that price seem to fail to realise it was 30 years ago.
Again, with the training gear, if you want a cheaper sweatshirt go and buy something else. If you can't afford it, it's fine. All these items seem to sell out...that alone suggests that the marketing team are getting the prices pretty much spot on.
