Castore Expands Its English Football Roster
Burnley FC has inked a multi-year agreement that will see Castore replace Umbro as the team’s kit supplier from the 2024/25 season.
Serving as Burnley’s official technical partner, the Manchester-based sportswear brand will produce all kits and training apparel for the Clarets’ men’s, women’s and academy teams.
In March, Castore agreed a sublicensing deal that gave the company the option of working with English clubs supplied by Umbro, including Burnley.
Umbro’s roster of partner Premier League and EFL teams also includes West Ham United, Brentford, AFC Bournemouth, Luton Town, Huddersfield Town and Forest Green Rovers.
Castore currently serves as the kit provider for three Premier League clubs, namely Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Wolves.
Alan Pace, Chairman of Burnley, said, “As organisations we have similar values, the desire to push boundaries, a passion for innovation and a mission to make athletes better.
“Castore’s philosophy of ‘Better Never Stops’ is perfectly aligned with our vision as a forever forward-thinking football club.
“With an esteemed portfolio of world-class athletes and brands from across the world of sport, I look forward to together, developing a powerful partnership to build our brand globally and one that our fans can enjoy.”
