Tops seem to be completely different sizes from last season, a lot of people having to go up a size or two this season and it's not because they have piled on weight!
Pathetic Quality From Castore

Has the club been made aware of these issues do we think? I’d like to think they keep an eye on these forums and social media from time to time. Maybe we need the fan media to be looking for answers.

Love it when everyone starts telling you how to wash a football top , had many Rangers tops for years and never had the bother i have had with these ones and yes i do not use fabric softner and i only wash my tops at 30 degrees.
The fact some of my tops from the 90s and 2000s are still in good condition and my new ones are falling apart shows how much a lot of the new tops are just cheap crap.
If you have had a good experience with castore then good for you but with them now taking on newcastle and wolves i think it could get worse as they try to rush more stuff out.

Supposedly they aren't making the Wolves stuff, outsourced under license. Irony being they'll probably be better quality!

probably one thing is for sure it cant get any worse.
I've just had a look, the Wolves training gear is much, much cheaper than ours.
I've had to move to a small from a medium, and I've definitely not lost weight!

just had a look at this, substantially cheaper. Wonder why that is

I'm sure I read Castore are only supplying the club and the fans stuff is outsourced like our deal with diadora.
If that's the case, I bet it'll be no worse than the tat served up by them to us last season, but considerably cheaper.

To be fair it's still a tiny percentage.

it might be a small percentage but between here facebook and twitter it is all adding up and is not good enough for the most expensive strips we have ever had.
Returned my dodgy stitched shirt to the shop today as the Castore logo wasn't good.
Went to find a replacement on the rack and pulled out 4 shirts with either dodgy sponsors logos or poor stitching.
I took the refund and left.
@Greg Marshall what are the club doing about this? I wasn't going to dig up a young lass in the shop as it's not fair on her or the staff.

I was the same took me about 15 minutes to find a shirt that was "perfect"
Joke so it and they had a massive rail behind the tills marked faulty
Im fed up having the same arguments.
If your stuff is good quality, great.
However, let’s stop being dismissive of those in this thread who have encountered multiple problems.
Was the infant kit ever actually avaliable mate? I went to buy it for my twin boys on release day as well but it was quickly taken down from the site

I threw my away and third top out today, had put them by for keeping but upon having a check they are absolutely wrecked, worthless.
I like some of the training range, not keen on the home top but in any case I am afraid to buy anything else from them to be honest.

Club are aware.
They had a wee focus group session after the school jumper debacle.
Bisgrove pays lip service to this issue though. Money keeps rolling, he likely doesn’t give a %^*&.
He made the call to appoint them, he’s not going to throw them under the bus.

A flavour of some of the Wolves Castore training gear.
At least their fans don't have to put up with pishy sponsors logo's plastered all over it!!

It looks shite.
Badge is stitched on though.
The club are more than aware of these issues as the players gear last season was a shambles.

It's more the weird Wolves relared colours though. This stuff in Rangers related colours, with the absence of shitty sponsors logo's and I think they would be fine.
Castore are only making kit for Wolves team/youth teams/staff.
Replica kit for fans being made by a 3rd party.
Castore unveiled as Wolves’ on-field partner in landmark deal
Wolves have agreed a multi-year partnership with British premium sportswear brand Castore to become the club’s new on-field partner, in a landmark deal...

The infant kit was available, the baby kit was the one that disappeared from the website. I asked in the Buchanan Galleries store last week when it will be in and was told July. Expected it to be sometime this week as apparently sports direct had it coming in on the 9th July. I went into Ibrox today to ask if it’s coming in and was told August, no date, just August. It’s a joke they can’t have the baby kits ready at the same time as everything else. Season will already be started by then.
It's still the same shite quality.If people can't get their stuff from the Rangers shop they might end up going to that fat guys store unfortunately.

Presume so.
We did the same with Diadora when they were on our kit. They paid to have their name on the kit, but didnt make it.

The amount of fans in denial about Castores deficiencies is alarming especially given it’s our own being shat on. How many fans need to be treated like s*it before folk wake up?!
Ive only had to take one thing back and it was the way it had been folded obviously at the bottom of heavy pile and it had creased the transfer looked as if it could peel so changed it out

The kit is poor quality. Everyone knows that including the club.
I would say true to size. I thought abt going for the large but the medium fits me perfectly.
Got the wee man's kids kit today.
The embroidery is a joke, can barely make out the word Castore or the anniversary script.
The there's a big permanent wrinkle next to the sponsor, obviously done by the trasfer.
And the the colour is out of shape, almost looks like its been bitten out of shape, like teeth marks on it bizzarely.
I buy the wee man lots of different kits from adidas, nike, umbro and puma and here all night and day compared the quality of the castore shite.

They have a pro training range to purchase already
Gotta laugh when people are actually showing off on this thread that they've made purchases and they are in good condition after a week / month / year.
I'd expect that kind of patter from kids in Africa when their boxes of tops get delivered and they get them out to compare.

I don't particularly like the designs but the price of their stuff compared to ours is a p**s take.
I don't care where it's made or what the agreement is they're having a laugh with us.

Can anyone explain why wolves have launched a full range of gear without the sponsor and it all looks well designed ? What’s the difference here ?
They have a pro range already
Davie2021

How come ? We’ve been with them a full year already whereas wolves are a new client .
Because I would imagine we've always had the Wolves equivalent of the Pro Range. The prices are identical.
Their fanwear is being done in-house hence more freedom to set prices.

The wild celebrations over getting a top for £60 that was delivered vaguely on time and hasn't fallen to pieces after a wash are a sight to behold.

I joined the ranks of the pissed off today. Within an hour of getting my new top out of its packaging, my wife noticed the seam was not sewn on the armpit. Not happy. Even worse, castore want me to pay £3 for the privilege of returning it.
