Wondering why I can’t find the 20% off away kit, a bit misleading…

The banner has very subtle small print in the bottom corner which basically says it's on everything bar kit, training and whatever counts as leisure wear. Pretty sneaky, unless like me you've been umming an ahhing over that elephant trucker hat

Ever since we went to Hummel.

Massive jump from Med-Large have complained to club about it-to deafening silence.

That would be a shame as we've had a few years getting largely designs exclusive to us, but on the other hand paying £60 for the badge to fall off a bin bag after a week isn't the best.

Would a reposition to Slam Dunk Trunker improve sales?

The new woman who joined from PSG signed Villa up to Castore, which is worrying as their quality issues go beyond misplaced or peeling decals and badges.

That was at the stage where they were relatively new to the market and offering generous terms to anyone willing to sign up.

The worry is that a previous business relationship could sway a decision their way.

The club have taken the piss this year. Its not a £5 increase at all, its a £25 increase to get a shirt of decent quality, or a £5 increase to get something of the quality you'd expect at a local market.

I think Castore might actually be the worst manufacturer out there at the moment, quality and design-wise so would really hope not

I'd go with Joma, mainly because they've done a brown kit for Brentford this year and that's the hill I choose to die on

I really dislike their emblem/logo. Same with Macron's.

Joma, Kappa or Macron seem to be doing some really decent lower league kits if we're to leave Hummel.

Adidas are really nice, but I'd imagine they only really put some effort in if we're at the elite level.
Mizuno would be perfect but they're probably a bit niche

Good, designs are decent but the quality is crap. Stitching is dodgy and decals are flimsy.

Now if the new supplier brings out a kit with a proper collar and embroidered badges…

I doubt we'd get the top table treatment from Adidas or Nike.

Kappa look great, but only on athletes, which I'm not.

O'Neills have produced some great kits, but not for Bristol City. Which may be down to BC vetoing any decent designs.

Haven't been overly familiar with Mizuno but looking at Lazio as a handy colour-alike I'd be happy with us having pretty much any of their recent kits so I'd be all for that

O'Neills is a good shout. I really liked Bristol City's last season.
This in Sky Blue would have looked really good

Umbro would be decent, I think they have shifted to the the hummel route and gone way more focused and bespoke with their designs for each team.

If hate it if we get Adidas, Puma or Nike team wear. We had decades of that generic crap

I think Umbro are now owned by Castore or part of the same group or something like that? Not sure if they have the same quality issues though

The collar detail put me off that, but otherwise it's decent.

According to Wiki they now hold the European distribution rights to Umbro.

Which may explain why I've seen West Ham fans complain about the quality of the shirts.

I got an FGR mystery box from last season the shirt quality is great as was the training stuff.

Although I have a feeling they keep kits for 2 years so might not have been effected by the Castore take over

Joma, Kappa & Macron do some great designs, but the sizing is always an issue if you're not built like an athlete. That said, I'd happily take any of them.

Can’t comment on the quality (wouldn’t imagine it would be the best).

But always liked Hope and Glory’s Kits in non league.

Is that not just the most bog standard shirt ever other than the collar- which isn’t great? What’s special about it?

It's the pattern and design of the collar that I like, but can see why some might not.
Just think the simpler kits are some of the best as well

They're decent enough quality. The issue is whether they could scale to what we'd need without compromising quality. Growing too fast was the issue that Castore had.

Joma's effort for a centenary kit. No thanks. Renew Hummel or get Macron in. Anyone else we're getting bog standard template stuff

In Spain at the mo and went in a football shop and both Betis and Malaga are Hummel and have either embroidered Hummel logo and/or club badges, and the quality does seem a bit better.
I think it depends on the deal you sign.
and maybe because it’s franchised out a bit?
Castors would be shocking. I’d take Macron I think, but I do feel that even with the quality issues which could potentially be sorted, I like the idea of us having Hummel. It’s a throwback and we sort of suit it too as a club.
