“Newcastle United’s Graceful Farewell:Magpies Bid Emotional Adieu Amidst Player’s £30m Departure”.
Newcastle United have publicly thanked Castore as their three-year partnership as the official kit provider comes to an end.
TPaaAhe club’s multi-year deal with Castore, signed in 2021, was one of the last agreements approved by former owner Mike Ashley before selling the club to a consortium led by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia.
The partnership with Castore, reportedly valued at £5 million per season, did not meet Newcastle’s new ambitions. Consequently, both parties agreed to an early termination last year to make way for Adidas’ return starting with the 2024-25 season.
The first Newcastle home shirt designed by Adidas in 14 years went on sale at 8am today (June 7), generating significant excitement. Amid this, Newcastle United took the opportunity to express their gratitude to Castore as they officially step aside.
“Newcastle United wish to express sincere gratitude to Castore,” read a message on the club’s revamped website.
“Over the past three seasons, Castore has been a key partner during a resurgent period for Newcastle United. The sportswear brand has contributed to the club’s trajectory by providing quality apparel for the men’s, women’s, and academy teams, as well as our supporters.
The Castore logo has adorned bespoke kits worn with pride both on and off the pitch during a period that fans will remember fondly. Highlights include the long-awaited return to the UEFA Champions League and successive promotions for Newcastle United Women. Castore has been with the club every step of the way.”
“Thank you, Castore.”
The Adidas deal is reportedly valued at £30 million per season and will allow Newcastle to manage their retail operations in-house for the first time in over a decade. A temporary club shop is currently open while the main store at the Gallowgate End of St James’ Park undergoes extensive renovations.
