Yet manufacturer says 40Deg
That’s the maximum temperature

1. It doesn't say that on the label, it just says 40DegThat’s the maximum temperature
Lucky you, I’m still waiting on mine ( Australia ). Bit of a piss takeGot the champions shirt about 30 mins after it was released. Was suitably impressed it arrived here in Australia by the 2nd week of May, just in time for first wear watching us lift the trophy.
One wash on 40c, completely bobbly AF on the back. Looks ridiculous.
I have emailed them, but going by the 116 pages on here, not holding my breath. Can't really be arsed with the hurdles of sending back for them to inspect and then waiting 2 months to get a no-doubts similarly shite quality shirt back.
Shame - the only literal blotch on an amazing season.
I just posted this on Twitter after discovering earlier. Some of these strips are decades old & are in better nick than Castore stuff.
I have joggers that bobbled really badly, that was before they were even washed.

It is clearly a flaw with the material being used
Few more washes and there won't be much left on my orange training top.
Genuinely have a 02/03 diaidora home top in still in perfect nick compared to castore.
I'm a bit sad things didn't work out with Hummel.
The Hummel kit was better quality than this 'bespoke' Castore gear.
I emailed them and had no issues with their customer service team so its definitely worth persevering with mate. Ended up getting a 30% discount off my next order. I haven't used it though as I don't know if I want to waste my money on something that is just going to fall to pieces again.Got the champions shirt about 30 mins after it was released.

Umbro was really poor in my experience, 06/07 and 07/08 kits fell to pieces but thankfully I've had no issues with any kit/training gear since.Absolutely miles better.
In terms of quality, I’d say Castore are the worst manufacturer we’ve ever had, certainly as far back as I can remember.
Maybe the next time Bisgrove is appearing on fan media podcasts, the guys could question him over the continuing issues with Castore?
I woke early this morning (5.15 a.m.), switched on 5 Live and one of the Bisgroves, don't know which one, was in the middle of a quite lengthy interview on their business programme. He made the point about how important Andy Murray and Rangers were to establishing their credibility and building their business and went on to say that they were looking to expand in England and Europe. Wolves and some major European clubs were mentioned. Reading this thread, I would suggest he rectifies problems with the Rangers merchandise first.
Good points mate ..Umbro in 06/07 were poor as was one of the diadorra seasons ..Puma 2014 were terrible though a lot of folk weren't buying from the fat man .Umbro was really poor in my experience, 06/07 and 07/08 kits fell to pieces but thankfully I've had no issues with any kit/training gear since.
I’d imagine you’d be able to find quite a few folk who’ve had issues with any manufacturer at some point to be fair, just by law of averages.
There’s seldom “very difficult” questionson fan media type podcasts.
I’d imagine the content/questions will be out to the interviewee in advance for review.
To be fair, I’m sure fan media would like to ask those type of questions but it’s probably been refuted by the club/interviewee review.
It’s generally more ego massaging type questions. (ie EH project seems unbelievably fantastic - can you tell us more about it)
Although it’s hard not to given how good it’s been over the last 12 months.
I think it would be the last ever interview and an end to match day privileges that comes with it if any fan media was to ask:
“that Castore gear is shïte and falling to bits. Evidence is not only on FF but also on televised games and press conferences.... what your take on this pïsh that Castore are serving up?”
Anyone started receiving the second batch of champions tops yet?
I got mine in the post and put it on to wear to the shops. Had bobbles from the seat belt when I got there!Mines is exactly the same as this too!!
I didn’t keep all my tips from days gone by, but I kept a couple of my favourites which were the 1992 Adidas equipment home and the 1999 Nike NTL home and third top the red oneI've had the 9 in a row top since 1996. its been washed any which way you can think, tumble dried, you name it. It's in better condition than anything that's been posted here. So are all my hummell tops. The shirt wash crap is just that, absolute crap.
I realise this, but match day privileges shouldn't really come into it.
Bisgrove was quoted as recently as the Belfast store as saying the early issues faced by Castore were no more. Maybe he isn't actually aware?
Maybe we should all email him and let him know.I realise this, but match day privileges shouldn't really come into it.

I never even bought the Blackthorn one, looked cheap shite.Good points mate ..Umbro in 06/07 were poor as was one of the diadorra seasons ..Puma 2014 were terrible though a lot of folk weren't buying from the fat man .

First season of Puma was bad and the second and third season of Diadora (which was actually Rangers) were poor. But this is on another level.Absolutely miles better.

That all rings true with my experience as well. Are the club doing anything about it? not a clue. Probably not, as pointed out while the money is flowing they won't care. The hard fact is we are customers, just a number. Only if sales started to plummet would anyone at Rangers (or maybe even Castore) take note. The stuff from this past season has been abysmal if we are honest. Players stuff doing the same as ours is utterly embarrassingI didn’t keep all my tips from days gone by, but I kept a couple of my favourites which were the 1992 Adidas equipment home and the 1999 Nike NTL home and third top the red one
Both those tops went on holiday with me to malia, Aya Napa, Marbella etc on lads boozy holidays . Basically worn poolside , scrunched into a wee “ pillow” for sunbathing , Piz Buin coconut oil on them , beer , chlorine from pool etc , exposure to the sun . I swear the condition of them now and they are 20/30 years old is better than my wee boys Castore kit that is a year old . The 1999 NTL ones in particular have held up brilliantly the material is exceptionally cool and soft , no bobbles , sponsor still perfect etc .
How can anyone tell me that there’s no concerns about Castore when I and thousands of others can literally compare them to tops we’ve kept from decades ago ? We arent
Just received my champions top from Hermes. Was filled with dread when I got the email saying the were the courier! 2 tops damaged last time! Never arrived.Items were delivered by Royal Mail, but the Returns label seems to suggest Hermes for returns.
Is this correct, I thought Hermes were binned?
Utilita badge peeling off my Black & Orange top. Not impressed!Still waiting for a fcking refund.
Rangers / Castore - absolute amateurs. Won't buy another thing from them. Tempted to bill them for the time I've spent chasing them up.
Anyone in the second batch of Champions tops received theirs yet?
You need your eyes tested mate lolDoesn't look squint to me
Tricky taking selfie at that angle mateNeed to see about getting your shoulders straightened mate - one is higher than the other.
You mentioned the Mrs. We need a new photo without the reversed lettering and, of course (it is FF) one of the Mrs for good measure ha ha.Tricky taking selfie at that angle mate
