Re: Next seasons kit manufacturer - Castore

I'm not sure on the quality, but Castore was marketed as a premium sportswear brand - they have a range at Reiss. Has this poor reputation just come from complaints from Villa players about the shirts retaining sweat? Issues seem to be widespread across all their customers. https://www.nssmag.com/e...
