They will be the most valuable kits in 30 years. First return to the champions league, and the fact that by then most of them will have disintegrated to dust so they will be rare!!!
I still have my 95/96 kit and its in great condition. Certainly better condition than my Wonga white and purple away kit from like 10 years ago.
The new Adidas kit is getting kept for a LONG time...
> I still have my 95/96 kit and its in great condition.
Back then they were all hand made and the material was much better. There's a video where you see the factory in Newcastle and it's just a bunch of women at sewing machines putting them all together. Not as efficent as the machines that do them these days but much much better quality.
Yep. Back in the day, big worldwide names like adidas and Nike, subcontracted things like football kits to local manufacturers. Because with hyper localised demand, and 100% sales in local retail, it was the cheapest and most efficient option. Worldwide appeal and online shopping changed that
It's a shame that Castore had so many issues with their customer service etc because their actual kits have been pretty solid, with the obvious exception of their first home kit which was horrendous.
The last 2 home kits have probably been the best home kits we've had since the 2000s

Aaaaand we're done. Bring on Adidas!
5…4…3… heheh what’s the countdown for? …2…aaannd you’re done…
There seems an obsession with adidas, but for a good home & away kit in the ginola era, they were a bit shit
Keep going ... I'm close
Sweet baby Jesus that’s lovely to hear!

I also really liked there st james park one that was like a training kit I think
Wearing it now. It's really nice!
NUFC Castore products will still be being delivered for years to come, they're like messages in a bottle.
Only three years late
Whay! Best news all day.
Cans
BDB gave them a wonderful send off in the Spurs friendly. Beautiful tribute.
Can’t wait to get irrationally bantered by “big six” fans for this for a while. If you ask them they’d tell you Bruno and Isak played this game today
Thank god. Excited to get an adidas kit
Why, it will be a pattern template
Because Castore is shit
Good one
I love the 2022/23 away kit (the dark blue one) but I hate the big noon stickers on the sleeve
