Castore have confessed that they underestimated the amount of orders they'd need to fulfil their initial batch of Rangers shirts.
The new kid on the sportswear block shot to prominence when Sir Andy Murray wore their gear during tennis matches, and their next major leap was a five-year kit deal with the Premiership giants in 2020. Their first kit made for the club was the shirt worn for their title-winning season in 20/21 but but were criticised by supporters at the outset for supply and demand issues.
There were also questions over the standard of merchandise and co-founder Tom Beahon has told The Athletic Castore weren't best prepared for what would come with handling such a responsibility. They are now partnered with clubs like Aston Villa and Newcastle, Beahon explaining: “We launched the partnership during COVID and the world was so crazy. You could get a call from your factory on a Tuesday saying, ‘Those 250,000 units we told you would be there by Thursday will no longer be there’.
