I reckon the BBC viewing figures will go through the roof now!
Living in the north I know quite a few Rangers fans. They've been complaining about the quality of this Castore crap for years. I would say it's yellow pack standard, but that's maybe a bit unfair.
Some yellow pack stuff was ok.
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
Newcastle are binning Castore and reports that Villa are set to bin them early too.
I was home for the 1st time in a few years recently so it was the 1st time I had seen the Castore stuff in person in the shops and I have to say its by far and away the worst we've ever had. The quality was crap but it was also just so unimaginative. The jackets and hoodies were all just this plain, dark shade of green and the new crest just looked like a sticker thrown on. None of the merchandise was worth buying at all and I ended up getting a rugby hoodie/jacket that was similarly priced but far nicer and better quality.
Does anyone know how it works from a finance point of view for the FAI? Do they just get an up front lump sum or do they also get a percentage of sales? Because for an association strapped of cash they are going to make fcuk all from any merchandise sales based on what I seen.
Its really not that complicated!!!
i feel like this is the best of a terrible lot...

I really like the back of that. Worth every penny of €35.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Having crap kits for the last few years made it easy for Castore to swoop in.
I actually like our jersey and think it’s the best we’ve had since Euro 2016.
Don’t know about quality though as I’m not forking out €100 for a jersey
Wonder are we getting new kit as the jerseys are all half-price on the FAI website shop
Folding my way into the big money!!!
Did somebody hit centre all on the design template. Having everything centered on the front of the jersey makes it look meh.
It looks like an okay training shirt.
You can't spell failure without FAI
All our tops look like training tops with the giant sponsor inexplicably plastered across the front.
3rd kits in international football is pure greed anyway. We're so skint we rarely play friendlies away from Dublin so we play like 3 away games total a year and how many of them warrant a clash in the first place? We clash with blue and green teams only. Also and here's the kicker, all the teams in the Nations League we're up against wear white at home. So we don't technically even need an alternative kit this cycle.
Not to mention that it's the exact same colour as our away kit so is funtionally pointless. This will get a solitary run out in a quarter full Aviva in a friendly, just like the equally pointless black kit. That'll be €100 please. Just pure tinpot greed from the FAI and the equally tinpot Castore as usual.
Paste on a non-sensical reference to Giants stadium (which we were wearing our home green kit for) and it makes it the perfect storm of the FAI/Castore.
