The Toffees are expected to transfer from Hummel to the British supplier, who presently produces the uniforms for Rangers and Newcastle United, according to The Telegraph (2 October).
The Villans’ Castore-designed uniform, however, sparked new debate this year. The excessive amount of perspiration that the kits collect makes them bulky and exposing. If their acquisition goes through, 777 should refuse to approve this and choose a another manufacturer.
777 and Castore had a troubled past together. Due to problems with supply and delivery, Genoa, a club owned by 777, cancelled its multi-year contract with Castore after just one year.
However, the biggest source of contention for the sale would be the Villa Park debate. Villa has now ended its affiliation with the company and is looking for a new business partner for the upcoming campaign. The Toffees would want not to commit the same error.
