Castore for Ireland Football

The pro shirt has been increased from €110 to €140 now too and has a sponsor on it.

Who is going to be buying that?!

The DH Gate ones have Dodgy Box on them instead of Sky.

It's an ongoing joke with myself and the brother that after Lille it showed an Irish lad in the crowd in the throes of ecstasy tugging his jersey passionately right where the "3" logo was, screaming his lungs out.

It looked like he was shouting "3!"

Their most passionate fan ever.

They want fans to pay 95 euro to basically be an advertisement board for Sky. Its scandolous.

Are we literally the only country that does it?

The only country with a sponsor plastered on the shirt!

€95 for a shoddy Castore jersey is scandalous, will stick to the retro gear and cheap knock offs. Who in their right mind will buy this?

"Here's Robbie Keane...... yeeeessss! That is no more than Ireland deserve!"

Am I correct in saying that it's not the FAI charging €95 ?

If I remember correctly their deal is that Castore have paid them x amount regardless of how many jerseys sell, which would indicate 95 is Castore leading the price

That's the standard practice but i thought Castore are paying a lower up front amount and a higher % of shirts sold...which anecdotally seems to be way down from the Umbro/New Balance days so in the end will work out as worse for the FAI.

Open to correction on the above if anyone knows more about the deal

They're selling the "pro" shirt, as-in the ones the player's wear for €110 with the massive Sky sponsor slapped on there too. You'd want to be some clown to support that.

Is there not one for €140?

It was €110 when I posted that. The made a mistake and had the fan version listed as €75 and pro as €110. They then quickly changed it to €95 and €140 within the hour.

Castore are so tinpot they can't even launch their overpriced tat correctly.

Actually appears to have been a mistake on the FAI Store this morning.

The jersey is now showing at €95, same as Lifestyle and Elverys

Will be waiting for a sale before buying that if at all

I emailed and asked them about the cheaper price this morning and they said from time to time they run different offers 🤪

Saw a few lads with the new jersey, the Sky looked like it was peeling off already. Castore are shocking Ouch
