Hummel, Castore, is there really that much of a difference anyway? It's not like we're going from Gucci to Primark.

They've had way more issues than just the Villa kit this year. Their kits rip incredibly easily, badges keep on falling off. Many fans of the clubs they provide have complained over quality issues of both kits and merchandise. Genoa left them after one season after they didn't supply them with any kit for pre-season.

I think the issue with them is that they have expanded way too quickly and so have taken an eye off quality control or are just taking shortcuts to meet demand.

really??? wasn't aware of that!! as I've said they've got time to sort things out for next season 🤞you never hear of problems with the England cricket gear.
 

Another Castore balls up, this time for England's cricket team. Note the sizing of the "ENGLAND" on the different kits.

This.
As if Villa weren’t involved in every step of the design for their kit, including materials selection (from Castore range of options).
You would think Castore just randomly turned up with their new kits # months after doing the deal to wear them the way the issues get presented.
NEA who makes them, I’m more bothered who pays us the most for doing so.

This (and you're not alone - it's been said about Umbro, LCS and Hummel in the past) is genuinely one of the dumbest common takes in football.

Any abuse any kid gets for wearing a football kit has nothing to do with the manufacturer logo, and everything to do with the club logo.

(Which is not to say I'm happy about Castore - but that's more down to their history of quality and manufacturing issues)
