[Albion] New Kit Manufacturer

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

There was also an article about kits on the club website which specifically called Hyper Turq a 21-22 kit. Entirely possible marketing jumped the gun

Castore seem to be signing loads of new professional deals at the moment. I'd never heard of them until I saw the new England cricket kit. Matt Fitzpatrick was wearing their brand for the US Open, they seem to be getting big quite quickly.

In addition to those you've mentioned Newcastle United, Wolves and Rangers were all in Castore kits last season.
They are trying to muscle in on the big suppliers quite aggressively.

Personally I'd love us to move to Adidas. I looked in the Leicester and Arsenal shops last season and the numerous choices of leisurewear was immense.

Doesn't say using Nike though?

I suppose its more fun to think that Nike are being replaced but given the amount of ££ we get from them and the exposure they get from us - you'd have thought its remote to say the least.
Thankfully (i think this is about the third or 4th thread debating this furiously) it will finally be put to bed in a week or so which is when i guess the new kits will be announced.

Villa as well this season, although the kit is pretty boring... but then it always is

The shirt will also be the third kit for the 2022/23 season.

Can we stop speculating now?

 

[Stat Brother]

Yes - people are obsessed with the kit for next season.

T'is the next moan off.

Moan it's not here.
Moan when it's released.
Don't buy it.
Moan when the club shop is out of stock.

That article is nearly a year old and Nike have failed to supply enough shirts to meet demand.
I would suspect Nike could well have not met their contractual obligations which would allow the club to look elsewhere for a more efficient supplier.

but also... https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/1273226/albion-extend-nike-deal which runs out this month. Nothing to say of course that they will not sign another extension but the hyper-turq statement could be an AS IS statement.

Purchased for granddaughter and I'll have to ask the question to her mum but odds are yes

Tumble dry a football shirt! Sacriledge. I've worn my away shirt all season and absolutely no problem with it shrinking!

The club will announce an extension on the deal when they reveal the new home kit and they'll tell us all how Hyper Turq was the best selling away kit we've ever had and how Nike are the bestest football kit makers a football club could ever ask for.

I did hear a rumour that we would be getting Puma kits this season, but I have no idea how ITK that person was.

this gets my vote as most likely outcome

As has already been said, no way are we having a new manufacturer as the Nike Hyper turq is the 3rd kit next season.

Sports Express and the 1990/91 NOBO days!

Or just maybe, given that statement was made a year ago, something has changed since then and it now won't be?

Conflicting information in this thread. On one hand the deal with Nike is apparently due to expire and there's been no word on a renewal. On the other, they said the Hyper Turq would be third kit for this season.

It is possible that at the time they announced it there was an intention to renew with Nike that was all done bar the signatures, that has since then fallen over or been hijacked by a better offer from another supplier.

I think it would be a bit underhand for the club to state that the £50 shirt will be up-to-date for two years, only then to change tack a year later

I’m 48 so haven’t worn a football shirt for 35 years but if we change kit suppliers to adidas I would buy one (any maybe even wear it)
