Rangers make decision on behind-the-scenes deal as source drops update for 25/26 season - report

Umbro is set to replace Castore as the kit supplier for Rangers from the 2025/26 season, according to Footy Headlines.

The news outlet reported on 13 December that an exclusive source claimed that Gers have made their decision to not continue with Castore, their existing kit supplier, whose contract runs out in the summer.

Their deal was a five-year deal which started during the 2020-21 campaign and will expire at the end of the current season.

Rangers will benefit moving away from Castore

Umbro’s long-standing reputation and broader market presence could translate into a more lucrative kit deal for the club, given their history of supplying kits to successful teams and their established brand value.

This could lead to increased merchandise sales and overall revenue.

For fans, this change is a welcome relief due to previous issues with Castore’s kit quality and delivery times.

On the other hand, Umbro’s kits have a nostalgic appeal, connecting with fans through the club’s most successful periods, which could enhance fan engagement and satisfaction.

Players might also benefit from improved kit performance, as complaints about Castore’s wet look and fit issues have been well-documented, potentially leading to better on-field performance and comfort.

With Umbro’s extensive experience, there’s an expectation of higher quality and better supply chain management, addressing past issues and likely enhancing morale and performance.
