Newcastle United release stylish statement to outgoing kit supplier amid £30m Adidas deal
Newcastle United have released a statement thanking outgoing kit supplier Castore for their hard work throughout its tenure.
The British manufacturer signed a multi-year deal to supply the club with its kit and day-to-day wear from the 2021/22 season replacing Puma.
It's safe to say that despite a few blunders, the supplier released several memorable kits including the most recent home strip that marked the Magpies return to the UEFA Champions League.
However, the deal with Castore is over as Adidas have stepped in to take the reigns and club to new heights in a deal worth £30million a season.
Newcastle's first-class message to outgoing Castore
The club released a statement on their new website last night.
It read: "Over the past three seasons, Castore has been a key partner during a resurgent chapter for Newcastle United.
"The sportswear brand has contributed to the trajectory of the club by providing quality clothing products, for both the men's and women's teams, along with our academy squads, and of course our supporters.
"The Castore logo has embellished bespoke kits proudly worn - both on the pitch and in the stands - during a period that will be fondly remembered by supporters.
"Highlights on the pitch include the long-awaited UEFA Champions League return and evolutionary back-to-back promotions for Newcastle United Women; Castore has walked alongside the club on every step of the journey.
"Thank you, Castore."
The Castore deal is a shell of what Adidas is offering, with the Manchester-based company's deal only worth £5m to the club.
Fans flocked to the club shop this morning for the new Newcastle kit
Some fans had been queuing to be among the first to get their hands on the newest Newcastle kit since the early hours of this morning.
The temporary club shop opened at 8AM to a sea of Geordies eager to get in and see what the new kit supplier has to offer.
The newest kit and add-ons are available now on the club's online shop.
