Castore are also involved in Australian rugby league with a few NRL teams now wearing their kits...Melbourne Storm and Sydney Roosters are 2 off the top of my head.
Thats the design used for their horrible Brown kit back in the day isnt it?
They will sell loads of those tops.
Didn’t that design (the blue in the link) back in the day have something to do with their sponsor? I seem to recall Talbot cars and the design was to get around the limits on shirt sponsor logos then by creating the logo (or variant of) in the base shirt design.
Think at one point the 3 stripes were centred or similar.

Might be misremembering.
You are correct. They wanted to be called Coventry Talbot which the League stopped happening. My dad had a Talbot Alpine and a Talbot Tagora and they were decent cars. The Tagora didn't catch on but it was an underated car.

So two players announced and photos of the lads in pre season training and not one item of Charlton branded kit anywhere to be seen.
Yeah but Mandela's shirt!! Castore need to be running that up as the away kit smartish. It'd be an instant sell out but one in the eye for the colour blind afflicted
Back in the day, next seasons kit would be announced around the last couple of games of the season, sometimes we would even play in it in the final game. Contracts with suppliers these days probably run beyond the end of the season, so that kind of thing isnt allowed anymore Im guessing.

Was talking about this just yesterday with some mates. I wonder why it doesn’t happen anymore.

Exactly, I remember the first new CAFC nike kit for 12/13 was being showcased in the club shop windows on the last game of the 11/12 season.

‘98 playoff final we wore the kit for the next season.

I think @Talal will know the story better, but hadn't Quaser gone bust during that season, and we were effectively wearing LCS stuff for most of the year.
As for that Nike kit, I could have got it made down the road and shown it off.

Still happens at the big clubs, presumably because kit manufacturers prioritise them. Arsenal wore next seasons kit in their final home game of last season.
We'd be way down Castore's priority list looking at their other clubs. But i'm sure i read that our new club shop isn't due to open until July, so maybe there will be a kit unveiling to tie in with that?

Contractually not possible though if you change suppliers.

Its probably easier to unveil something earlier when youre in the middle of a contract with a kit maker, as we are transitioning that probably means Castore couldn't reveal anything until after the season was over.
