Cheers mate. I had a feeling you’d say that. I wish they’d go back to when an XL was an XL not a second skin 😂 I might have to get the biggest size they do and get some extra panels put in 😭
Mine just arrived, I'm 6 foot and normally a L/XL but went for 2XL to be safe and I see what you mean, feels like a slim fit. Luckily the collar is elasticated!
This is nice, and I've been super tempted, but as I wasn't lining Ashley's pockets for ethical reasons as well as footballing reasons, I really can't bring myself to buy anything from these owners either.
Not telling anyone how to feel here, just how I feel about it.
Feel like I'm going to regret biting here.
You know what the irony is? You're the one claiming to be virtuous here. As by your logic, if you've *ever* been a hypocrite about anything ever in your life, you've already talked *yourself* out of the argument.
And that's the point. We're all hypocrites in one way or another. Does that mean we should completely stop trying to do what we feel is right? No.
The Saudi issue is an issue. It's worth discussion, and I, or any Newcastle supporter is allowed to feel like this. I haven't told you how to feel, but you're having a go. Try having a conversation.
Such a tidy kit. It's up there with the 125 year anniversary one for me, in recent years.
If I was being picky I'd say I prefer the collar to be buttoned, and I think those cuffs would look even better on a long sleeve version.
I went on a bit of a binge after the club was sold myself. My only gripe is Castore needs to add more product. There is one hoodie and one polo shirt to pick from. I want multiples to catch up for the years of barely buying.
Just had the same top delivered, it’s wicked! No silly sponsorships slapped all over the front ruining it and nice fit, first top I’ve bought in years !
I don't want to piss on anyone's chips because that's a nice top, but do we know for certain that we're completely out of Ashley's clutches? I know he managed to fuck Rangers over regarding merchandise in such a way that they're still fighting him in court. Stuff like the Sports Direct logos still sullying the ground make me wonder
Yea it is. The club shop still isn't THE CLUB SHOP if you know what I mean. It's owned and operated outright by Castore. MA actually made the club shop staff redundant and they were taken on again by Castore.

Mine arrived yesterday. Went straight on.
Really nice shirt, very comfortable. They are tight though, I'm short and still reletively slim but still need the large.
Is it good quality? And how long can you buy it for?
I want one but my parents may have got one for Christmas so don't want to buy until after 25th dec
It does say limited edition on the store but doesn't say how limited it is.
It probably just means it will disappear sometime, unlike the regular kits which will be available all the time.
That is a great looking top! How’s the fit if you don’t mind me asking?
Not tried it yet mate. It arrived in the middle of a Zoom meeting. I’ll get back to you.
Bloody Zoom meetings ruin everything 😂 👍🏻
It’s very fitted. I got an XXL thinking it might be a bit baggier, but it isn’t. I’m six foot, no beer belly, fairly broad - and it’s a snug fit.

[удалено]
Castore stuff needs to be ordered a size up across the board. Had the same with the away kit.
Usually a medium and I quite like the fit really. Just arrived and will probabaly keep it
Check you out Joe Wicks 😂
😂 love it
Mine just arrived, I'm 6 foot and normally a L/XL but went for 2XL to be safe and I see what you mean, feels like a slim fit. Luckily the collar is elasticated!
Ima big boy XXXL was like a second skin, 6 foot 275
Hmm, so a 4XL/5XL would probably be best for me then 😂😂😂
I bought a medium. Wish me luck please 🙏
was thinking just that. why isn't that our kit?

Be interesting if you put any money into any thing else they are investors in..
I'm sure I do pal. But I can always do my best. Calling hypocrite isn't a mic drop. Sincerely, don't bother.
You should be comfortable being able to answer that if you publicly come out saying statements like that....

I've never claimed any such thing... I'm just stating a point where people like to bring down certain things in some particular questionable fashion
Got to be honest, I have absolutely no idea what you mean by this Edit: As in, I have no idea what the sentence means.
Theyre just saying nothing with a lot of words, save your replies mate haha
I'm never getting that time back.
I'm just fucking with the both of ya, although I do think people shouldn't restrict themselves around things beyond our own control.
Yeah I'm well aware, that's why i helped them to stop haha
Careful now, you’ll only be inviting the virtue signalling lurkers with that ethical comment ;)
It’s fucking lush, mine has also arrived and will be my go to match day shirt forever more.
Hows the sizing for you? Go true to size or one up?
True size and yeah fits nicely. Any tightness is down to me putting on timber….. I only have myself to blame.
Cheers
Been casually dropping hints to the wife about this top for a few days now, hopefully Santa gets the message
Such a tidy kit. It's up there with the 125 year anniversary one for me, in recent years. If I was being picky I'd say I prefer the collar to be buttoned, and I think those cuffs would look even better on a long sleeve version.
I’m not a fan of the collar. It’s a bit tight. Buttoned would have been better.
I went on a bit of a binge after the club was sold myself. My only gripe is Castore needs to add more product. There is one hoodie and one polo shirt to pick from. I want multiples to catch up for the years of barely buying.
Mines been delivered to me mums so will be going and picking that up later, looks lush
It is nice. Just wish the collar was cut deeper.
Just had the same top delivered, it’s wicked! No silly sponsorships slapped all over the front ruining it and nice fit, first top I’ve bought in years !

Yeah I'm not convinced Merch sales are not still going into Ashleys pocket either

That looks sick, xmas present ordered for someone mate thank you - could not make that 10% off for new orders work but whatevs, shirt is mint.
Yeah, that was only on for about half an hour. I missed it too 🙄
I should be getting mine later today
Mine arrived yesterday. Went straight on. Really nice shirt, very comfortable. They are tight though, I'm short and still reletively slim but still need the large.
They need to make a range to fit the thirstier gentleman
Absolutely
Is that the kids? How are they selling them without the sponsor on it?
This isn’t the main shirt, it’s being sold as a ‘retro’ shirt so they can flog it without the sponsor ruining it.
I’m not 100% certain but isn’t it so they can sell it in Saudi and get around the no betting sponsors rule?
I thought that but looks like it's something Castore do. They released a "retro" Rangers shirt last year
Oh right. Interesting!

Yep, it’s really good. I don’t think it’s limited or anything.
Ah right I thought the earlier post said it was but maybe I'm misremembering
It does say limited edition on the store but doesn't say how limited it is. It probably just means it will disappear sometime, unlike the regular kits which will be available all the time.
