Rangers get set to move on from Castore with all eyes on potential Umbro kit leaks

There is a lot going on at Rangers just now with a painful reminder until the end of the season of what has been lost set to hit hard.

If they are to be successful on the pitch, stability and structure off the pitch has to be secured and it looks like the San Francisco 49ers takeover will be completed soon.

It’s a start; however, a new Rangers manager is needed as well as serious work to a squad that has gaps and inadequacies all over it.

Add this to Patrick Stewart looking to appoint a sporting director, and it is little wonder how disjointed the club has been since last year.

Another issue that has been reported, but not announced, is that Rangers are to move from Castore to Umbro in terms of the current merchandising deal, and yet no details have been given.

Rangers set for kit change from Castore to Umbro

With the season only having a few weeks left, it is usually the time of year when images start to leak.

This time last year, the first images of the 2024/25 home kit emerged and Umbro’s first offering won’t be far away.

The split isn’t exactly what it looks like.

Castore now have a licensing agreement with Umbro with the fledgling sportswear company hoping that it will take them to the next level.

After an aggressive start, Castore have seen clubs like Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Bayer Leverkusen all end deals in what was a blow to their long term plans and dent to their ego.

Have Castore been a good commercial partner?

On reflection, Castore’s strips have been well received with more hits than misses.

Complaints about quality have subsided over the years and the biggest issue has been the size of range produced every season.
