    Do they still make football kits?
    Only in South America.

    This is their first step back into European football for a long while (think that they were bought by another kit supplier who blocked any football deals by Reebok) so they will be keen to make a positive impression.

    I hope that meant we got a good deal (it was Charlie so who knows?) and that they put that extra effort in.

    My guess is that they/we will try to leverage their big US profile to raise the profile. Expect to see Shaq in the Charlton shirt, etc, etc.

    The retro stuff has still not come out?  I was thinking there were a few different ones being sold.
    There was one retro shirt being sold but clearly sold out as no longer available

    As long as it’s 80-90% red, 10-20% white and made of decent quality material, that will be a win.

    Are any current football tops made of decent quality material?

    Who Reebok? yes, the brand has come back into Football, and Rugby League as well, Leigh Leopards are wearing Reebok in the Super League this season
    Cool. Just haven’t seen any football teams recently with Reebok.

    Nothing against them as a brand. They’ve made some great kits/uniforms in the States.

    Club shop online is so bad.

    Do you reckon we let reebok overtake the club shop like we did castore?
    it wouldnt be hard to overtake a shop.

    Last I heard of Reebok, is that they were owned by Adidas. That was some years ago.

    It's so our players can give 110%.

    Hopefully reebok means some good training/leisure gear in the shop as well, can't stand the Castore stuff

    A quick Google suggests Reebok is owned by Authentic Brands Group, who bought it off Adidas. Either way....let's bring back the Reebok Classics...long overdue!

    look forward to the Authentic Brands' Juicy Couture CAFC tracksuit!

    Seems they own the rights to the Elvis Presley images, so expect a Hologram Show at The Valley soon

    There's a Reebok x Cardi B trainer. (Popular among Museum trustees I understand.)

    Going to be a 1 shirt/kit each family next season, refuse to keep getting sucked into the bs of 3 per year.

  • Surely the Reebok deal is all done and dusted, so presume we're just waiting for the season to be finished before we announce it. Gone are the days of teams wearing a new shirt/supplier on the last game of the season (as we did in the '98 play off final, we wore Quaser all season inc. the play-off semis and then wore the new Le Coq Sportif/Mesh kit at Wembley).

    That said, interestingly AFC Wimbledon announced their deal with Lotto next season, back in mid-April (another retro brand back in football!)

    Good to see more variety in kit suppliers.

    It got very dull a few years ago, when so many teams (like us) were wearing standard template kits from the likes of Nike, Adidas and Puma.

    Probably why the shop is empty, wouldnt be a issue selling castore next season if they were still making the kit.

    Went into the shop before the game, zero official replica shirts anywhere to be seen. I get we are leaving Castore but for the play offs they'd sold a few more if they had some in stock. Really poor

    Online even worse. Unless you want some women’s away shorts.

    I think all the stock went a few weeks ago but it is weird to have quite an empty club shop now.

    Maybe a major reason we're parting ways with Castore is that they can't keep up with demand and supply enough shirts/kits.

    So professional, massive chance to sell shit to fans with plenty of non regulars appearing at The Valley at this stage of the season and the cupboards are bare

    Always going to happen when they're on sale, it's the end of the contract with Castore, and suddenly 8k happy clappy campers turn up realising their kit is 10 years old and doesn't fit anymore. Can't expect the club to order another 5k shirts in May
