    Purchased the black GK shirt today for £38, no idea if it’s been mentioned before but apparently we are not allowed to use it. Very bizarre but imo the nicest looking shirt of the lot this year.
    Did they mention why we’re not allowed to use it?
    They seemed to not know why, but it's crazy that it can get to being produced before we found out it was unusable. Being sold as limited Edition and is right next to the tills.

    One of the kit men told me it was because of EFL colour blindness rules.

    Don’t the officials wear black, I know most of them are blind, not sure when it comes to colours.

    Mental that it got produced in the first place then !, it's a lovely shirt though.

    Yeah, he said there's a chance it could be used in the fa cup but obviously we didn't hang around long!

    Guess it doesn't stretch to the officials. Must be why we're wearing white at Barnsley.

    Are colourblind people banned from FA Cup games?

    I'd like us to do something similar, with first priority being getting the shop back under control of the club so we can sell random CAFC branded merchandise again without it being complete extortion

    All 3 of this seasons shirts are now reduced to £16.50 each in the online store, presumably in-store also

    Ordered the white shirt yesterday now it's reduced and just had my order cancelled because they didn't have the stock. Not overly impressed

    Got the home shirt yesterday for my grandaughter who is 9, good value at those prices, £12 for medium junior.

    Told my daughter, and she said "what took you so long?"

    The money people pay for old shirts, probably worth buying 10 of each and sticking them in a box. Better returns than a bank.

    Went to The Valley today to see the women's team and went into the club shop. Racks and racks of shirts available in all sizes including the one I ordered the other day but was told they didn't have any stock of. Stupid club.

    From memory, l believe the staff in the shop told me. “mail order isn’t sent from there but a central warehouse “

    No doubt if you ordered a shirt it would be coming from the Melbourne depot by boat.

    £4.50 postage and £5.50 from cafc shop and castore online. Wish they'd have click and collect available

    From what I've heard, Castore are giving the shop back to the club to run next season and will only be supplying kits and limited Castore merch as they expected better sales than they have had. This will allow the shop to sell more 'CAFC' merch. I should imagine Castore have sent all remaining stock to the club to sell off hence not being able to supply the kits online.

    I’d love to know what the ROI has been for the Castore investors. I still see barely anyone wearing non replica kit, just can’t see how this is enough for them as they were very well backed I believe.

    Isn't the golf business massive, seem to do well in the premium activewear market, and they've sold tons of Villa and Newcastle kits

    So the warehouse it might be sent from could be Rotterdam or anywhere......

    Maybe if Castore had stocked more than just replica kit then they would have enjoyed more sales
