This story could go on as JACC have rejected the termination of the deal.

I know who i believe
Gotta feel like the FAI have their ducks in a row and are 110% certain there'll be no legal ramifications on them for doing this. JC probably raging that the handy gig they had with the FAI for so long is coming to an end sooner than they thought now that JD isn't around anymore.Quote:

And if it was agreed in the Delaney era who would be surprised if the paperwork is dubious?
As a fan I have no sympathy for JACC whatsoever. They've been doing the kits for 28 years and there's been very little to get excited about in that time. We owe them nothing.
I for one welcome our new corporate overlords.
Our kits have mostly been awful. A few exceptions here and there but very little to be thrilled about. The current Jersey takes a lot of effort to put up with..Quote:

Oneills would defo be my preference now.
An orange away shirt is fine with me too. They would want to hurry up mind you...
The two orange away shirts we’ve had have been awful. Though I’m not against an away orange jersey.
We haven’t had a decent kit since 2016 (which to be fair was glorious - bar the luminous strip on the collar).
The current kit is some weird camouflage thing and the last one was generic rubbish with a gold band on the collar. The away kit was just a rip-off of the Italia 90 adidas white shirt.
Out of interest, is JACC not just the manufacturer rather than the designer?
Do Umbro not just give them the design and they make it?
JACC is the distributor I think. So they play an agent-like role.
Strong rumours online today that it’s Castore.
Who don’t have a good rep with Newcastle fans

Now we’re sucking diesel!Quote:

Our worst fears

Which is a shame.
They could’ve helped Irish jobs and given it to O’Neills.
Or they could’ve gone with Nike who are doing some very classy jerseys these days (France, England).
I'd have preferred Adidas or O'Neills. Castore feels like very low budget brand to be associated with.
Is there any link between Sports Direct and Castore? Didn't we have some ridiculous arrangement with Sports Direct a few years ago?
I thought Mike Ashley owned the company, for some strange reason, but apparently not.
It's backed by Andy Murray the tennis player. Hence, Rangers were their first kit I believe
