Expand They do. In my opinion, the Castore stuff is average (not bad but not great). Even the lilac top has sold bucketloads, which goes to prove they'll sell well even if they're crap. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The point of these sponsorships is to make money for the club and the manufacturer and it seems to me Castore have been anything but amateur in that respect. What our fashionistas and negativity-addicts think of particular products is largely irrelevant and certainly unimportant. No one is forced to buy but clearly plenty do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What our fashionistas and negativity-addicts think of particular products is largely irrelevant and certainly unimportant. No one is forced to buy but clearly plenty do. Expand I agree in part. That is the intent of clubs producing apparel. However quality does matter? Fit? End user satisfaction? Following that logic train why doesn't the club just collect rocks and paint them blue, if it is all for charity's sake? No, quality, fit, durability, and sizing are all important factors that I feel Castore, quite often, falls short of in their Rangers line. I have purchased a few items, some were deserving of the price point, some were no better than Bangkok street market garb. Honestly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand At risk of being pedantic, it's always best to use language that expresses what you actually mean. He didn't say amateurish. He described Castore as amateurs, which they're clearly not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
