The Aston Villa team has recently expressed their dissatisfaction with their new Castore kits, claiming that the material is causing them to play in wet and uncomfortable jerseys. Castore, a sportswear brand founded by two brothers from Wirral, entered a long-term partnership with Villa in May 2022. However, the players believe that the current kit is affecting their performances on the field.
According to a source cited by the Telegraph, the players have been forced to play in shirts that become soaking wet during matches. This issue has become a significant concern for the team, as it is impacting their comfort and potentially hindering their performance. The players reportedly look as if they have taken a dip in a swimming pool after just ten minutes of play.
These complaints from Aston Villa players come after it was revealed that Newcastle United has apparently terminated its partnership with Castore due to fan complaints. The £5 million-per-year deal, which began in 2021, is said to have ended prematurely. However, there have been no reports of dissatisfaction from Newcastle players.
It is understood that Aston Villa is in talks with Castore to resolve the issue and improve the design of their kits. LiverpoolWorld has reached out to Castore for a comment regarding the situation.
