Bit of green font in there..

Sounds good, looking like a predominanly black home shirt. I wasn't a fan of the 2022 black with white V as ot looked like a bib so fingers crossed an improvement on that. I will always prefer an irregular hoops shirt bu I get that we have to changes things around.

Hopefully some decent off field clobber. Not a fan of polyester polo shirts so hopefully some smart cotton ones.

no wonder clubs are all complaining about getting sweaty if the shirts are Polyester.
I guess its now the cheapest fabric but why produce sports shirts in a non breathable fabric?
Doesnt make any sense

Looking at the background in the castore announcement it looks like there is a white shirt with a really thick black v . I may be imagining things but that’s what I can see . I of course could be totally wrong .

Incoming !!!!

I meant the polo shirts.

Hope the sponsors are well integrated in the new kit. One thing Hummel did really well

If the new club shirts are the same material as say Aston Villa who have been complaining, then they are 90% polyester and 10% elastane.That material is not breathable and therefore not able to absorb sweat efficiently.
Probably end up having to change shirts at half time

.

Certainly a feel good factor around the club at the moment with the new signings, new sponsorships, training hub finally being started, new club store and now the announcement of Castore.

Only thing that concerns me is that their merchandise isn't cheap to say the least so just hope the new apparel is sensibly priced.

Have Melbourne or the Roosters had any issues with the material used in their shirts this season? Or any RU clubs?

Maybe Castore use different materials for their rugby and football shirts

Black and gold home, blue away

I'd like the kit to be, back and white irregular hoops, black shoulders and sleeves then the thinner hoops gold.

Away shirt...wouldn't mind an all gold shirt again irregular hoops with different gold shades. Heard a few people say like an emerald green or blue.

We had blue season just gone, so I'd pass.on a blue one this season

Wasn't last years away jersey one the most popular the club had sold in a long time ? I guess they'd come up with something similar again for next season .

I’ve got a 3/4 England cricket top from Castore and it’s very good,yes it was expensive but very good quality and there off field range is very good.we have done well to get these as our kit supplier.

As someone who spends a small fortune in there, year on year, every year, on hoodies, coats, t-shirts, shorts, well, just about everything but the actual replica playing shirts, I must admit, the Hummel gear has been total e compared to what went before.

Leigh Leopards new shirt is interesting

Made by Patrick who I thought were long gone .

Patrick are having something of a renaissance lately ,their gear is plastered all over ebay and 80's casuals. I always liked their football boots as a kid, they were the best, well apart from Puma King, but they were way too expensive for a family of 7 living down Boulevard.

I had a pair of Patrick Cordoba that were black with light blue stipes with removeable studs

, they were the best boots I ever had, no one else had them at the time they all wore Adidas, Puma, Umbro or Mitre. Remember wearing them for the first time at Wolfretons football teams trials when I was a 1st year (82).

Looking at the Castore ranges the prices vary depending on the team so hopeful the Hull FC clothing will be realistic and affordable pricing. Hoping the shirts will be a good design first and foremost but not a lot you can do will Black & White irregular hoops.

Despite the derision on the announcement of the Castore partnership from the dark side, for me its a big shift not just for our club but the game as a whole that a company like Castore have got involved,

Would I be wrong to say I had a pair in the 70’s? They were so light and soft, believe they were made from goat kid leather and lasted for years and screw in studs.

Not really though they were probably more continental at that time, think it was when Patrick got Kevin Keegan on board at the start of the 80's that introduced the UK to Patrick boots more widely/commercially.

Just got this from 'someone' about the new shirts

"I've only seen them both very briefly, and I'll know more tonight, but alt kit is dark near top, white for the torso, with a very nice gold dividing strip in a downward V and on sleeve cuffs. Main jersey is largely black off the top of my head. It's Castore as the new manufacturer and I just remember glancing at them and thinking - 'they look class"

Bad experience with Patrick boots. First time I wore them was at a games lesson at Branny High. I forgot to put then in my kit bag and some scallywag pinched them.

Forty years on and it still hurts to this day !

Puma kings where beyond my wildest dreams.

Also forgot to mention my adidas original blue zipped tracky top was taken in the same heist.

I was going to report it to Ged Dunn but I didn't think he'd be bothered because he knew I was a Hull fan.

And they say school days are the best days of your life. Absolute bollox
