It is still incredible to me that despite the big comeback of 90s fashion no-one has taken a proper crack at either of the 95-96 green, purple and white shirts. We’ve had two black kits with little bits of purple and green on them but the stage is set for an update on those shirts. Those are the retro kits you most commonly see at games and instead we get some fairly uninspired black or white kits every year. It’s a third kit we don’t even need, get weird with it!
Agreed! I had the green, purple and white shirt on in Tenby last week. Various supporters of other clubs stopped me to admire it!
Pretty nice that. Probably Castore’s best effort so far. They really need to get better at making the kit available online as soon as it’s announced though. Can’t even browse it on the online shop yet (I know they said 11am in-store).
Need to drop the marketing wank on some of these releases though.
How hard can it be to line the sword and the Castore logo up?
Trouble is they’ve lined the width of the sword and hand combined so it looks off centre. They should have lined the middle of the sword up to the middle of the Castore logo so it’s visually centred…schoolboy error, like the kit though, might get it next May!
Decent enough effort from Castore on the designs this year for me, just wish they’d gone one way or the other (ecru or bright yellow) on the shade of the away top - not such a fan of them trying to please both camps.
According to the club, the grey shirt 'includes telescopic imagery and galactical visuals inspired by Greenwich's Royal Observatory'. Really?!? Who makes this stuff up?
The issue with the badge is that it's not symmetrical, so will look wrong however positioned. Intuitively you think the tip of the sword should match the centre of the castore and RSK logos, but then it would have additional weight on the right due to the hand and throw off the layout. You'd hope they had experimented with various positions in the design process and this layout looks the least "wrong", but it's an inherent issue with having a non-symmetrical badge forced into what should be a symmetrical layout.
As for the actual kit, I quite like it, but will always prefer a v-neck (or pretty much any shaped/styled neckline) to a round-neck. I'll probably be getting one around Easter lol

it’s ok, I’d like it more as a training top with the logos non-central and without the sponsor
For everyone moaning about the badge configuration (rightfully so), this was mentioned several times to Castore ...
