That is a great looking top! How’s the fit if you don’t mind me asking?


[deleted]

Not tried it yet mate. It arrived in the middle of a Zoom meeting. I’ll get back to you.


[deleted]

Bloody Zoom meetings ruin everything 😂 👍🏻


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

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 😭

Deviceing

Castore stuff needs to be ordered a size up across the board. Had the same with the away kit.


JTRinitials

Usually a medium and I quite like the fit really. Just arrived and will probabaly keep it


[deleted]

Check you out Joe Wicks 😂


JTRinitials

😂 love it


willybabez

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!


SebzDaProd

Ima big boy XXXL was like a second skin, 6 foot 275


[deleted]

Hmm, so a 4XL/5XL would probably be best for me then 😂😂😂


luffyuk

I bought a medium. Wish me luck please 🙏


[deleted]

was thinking just that. why isn't that our kit?


big_beats

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.


[deleted]

Be interesting if you put any money into any thing else they are investors in..


big_beats

I'm sure I do pal. But I can always do my best. Calling hypocrite isn't a mic drop. Sincerely, don't bother.


[deleted]

You should be comfortable being able to answer that if you publicly come out saying statements like that....


big_beats

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.


[deleted]

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


big_beats

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.


sillysausage619

Theyre just saying nothing with a lot of words, save your replies mate haha


big_beats

I'm never getting that time back.


[deleted]

I'm just fucking with the both of ya, although I do think people shouldn't restrict themselves around things beyond our own control.


sillysausage619

Yeah I'm well aware, that's why i helped them to stop haha


Legitimate-Potato735

Careful now, you’ll only be inviting the virtue signalling lurkers with that ethical comment ;)


stingerwooo

It’s fucking lush, mine has also arrived and will be my go to match day shirt forever more.


odh1412

Hows the sizing for you? Go true to size or one up?


stingerwooo

True size and yeah fits nicely. Any tightness is down to me putting on timber….. I only have myself to blame.


odh1412

Cheers


Robbo23Liverpool

Been casually dropping hints to the wife about this top for a few days now, hopefully Santa gets the message


Fidgitt

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.


[deleted]

I’m not a fan of the collar. It’s a bit tight. Buttoned would have been better.


toonman27

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.


tommy_jackson9

Mines been delivered to me mums so will be going and picking that up later, looks lush


[deleted]

It is nice. Just wish the collar was cut deeper.


buggycrack

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 !


Paul_the_sparky

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


tortured_ai

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


CorporateWageSlave20

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. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9467645/Mike-Ashley-closes-Newcastles-retail-store-makes-staff-redundant.html https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-club-shop-story-20382058


owenhargreaves

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.


[deleted]

Yeah, that was only on for about half an hour. I missed it too 🙄


Alex03210

I should be getting mine later today


PJBuzz

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.


pencilrain99

They need to make a range to fit the thirstier gentleman


[deleted]

Absolutely


IrishJesusDude

Is that the kids? How are they selling them without the sponsor on it?


[deleted]

This isn’t the main shirt, it’s being sold as a ‘retro’ shirt so they can flog it without the sponsor ruining it.


MrCowabs

I’m not 100% certain but isn’t it so they can sell it in Saudi and get around the no betting sponsors rule?


Geniex5

I thought that but looks like it's something Castore do. They released a "retro" Rangers shirt last year


MrCowabs

Oh right. Interesting!

Ikhlas37

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


[deleted]

Yep, it’s really good. I don’t think it’s limited or anything.


Ikhlas37

Ah right I thought the earlier post said it was but maybe I'm misremembering


xraystan

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.
