Re: 2019 kit released
Not sure why some posters state the club colours include yellow. When I started watching in 1959 we used to call Cas "The black n' ambers", because as a 10 year old I misunderstood and spent a year or two calling them "The black mambas", thinking it was cool to be named as a deadly snake I'd read about in comics!
Depends on your interpretation of Amber.

Re: 2019 kit released
Some comical stuff on here florescent orange is the new amber ha ha
Don't bother me as long as it sells but if we had a shirt in our coulors of black and amber it would sell just as well if not better than a orange one

Re: 2019 kit released
End of the day colour is all about perception anyway, depends how your brain interprets the light / stimuli.
Some people reference to the old Amber is more yellow, the new Amber is very orange and actual Amber is neither. And of course it could be worse, they could actually give us tiger print shirts!

Re: 2019 kit released
It has nothing to do with my relationship with the club. It’s just the continuous whining every single season about this. It’s dull. It was done for a reason.Mysterio wrote:Never ceases to amaze me how far HT attempts to crawl up the backside of our clubs officals. It’s almost like she’s grooming and manourvering for a promotion at work
The home shirt is shocking.
Tango Orange isn’t our colour.
That some people want to cry about the colour says more about you and how far the club has come.
Personally there are more important things to worry about. I could understand if the club said tomorrow we are going to be playing in blue full stop. But the fact is that we haven’t. We are orange, amber, white and black. Those are our brand colours. Those are the club colours. We have orange in our club logo. Heck we even have red.
It’s hypocritical that some people would buy the same design if it came in yellow and no doubt love it. The design is simple, it’s great. Orange or yellow it is Castleford. Buying shirts helps us keep recruiting and retaining better players as does buying STs.
By all means sit here and whine all you want and be patronising. I find a delicious irony that people want to moan about it not being amber but then love a shirt that is all black and doesn’t contain a trace of amber on it.

Re: 2019 kit released
But those in Cas tops are the ones who don’t care who do buy things.
The forum warriors on here who moan about every little thing aren’t.
At the end of the day, personally speaking, I support the club and the town. It is about Castleford, not colours, not whether STs are plastic or paper. It’s about us all working together to collectively drive success.
And I will point out this for those who talk about heritage. The Castleford town cost of arms is orange (gold), not amber. So orange is synonymous with the town in all forms and not just through the Tigers name.

Re: 2019 kit released
For what it’s worth my view is that we do need to mix it up and keep things fresh. I don’t care what colour the shirt is although I have a personal preference for amber and usually get the away one anyway because they are different and more wearable away from the ground.
My issue with the orange designs is that they have got a bit repetitive and boring and I do get at least one shirt a season (which I know is not within everyone’s means) and other family members do too and we all tend to avoid the repetitive home shirts these days.
Not really worth commenting on I know but as someone who does do my bit don’t see why I shouldn’t have my say, and give a view why others might legitimately have a view on shirt design and colour

Ok fair enough take your point
We can play in sky blue with pink dots on for me if we win the grand final next year

Re: 2019 kit released
Should point out that the main colour on the Cas coat of arms is the heraldic colour gules which is red
The castle and eagle are or (gold) and in no way does that look orange

Re: 2019 kit released
If it’s the design I get that. People have different tastes - some like things simple, some like things jazzy. That’s human nature. It’s the “I’m not buying it because it’s the wrong shade of amber/orange” crowd that frustrate me. I can’t believe that people would be so precious over something fairly minor like that and then plump for an alternative shirt that doesn’t even contain the colour at all. There’s nothing better for me in photos than seeing a sea of orange/amber/yellow. Photos from away days are great. Places like Magic where we stand out.
At the end of the day the club is doing great financially at the moment it seems, much better than it was. I’m sure that everyone does their own part in their own way. But for me I’m happy to put cash in because I want to see us successful and if we do it playing in tangerine, neon orange or luminous yellow, I couldn’t give two tosses. Just want to see us with our hands on those trophies.

Looks pretty orange to me, not too different to the shirt. I know it is meant to be gold but to me gold is something a bit different to that. Or if the background is red that’s too bright for red! Perceptions hey?

If they are saying they are would buy it in yellow and black but won’t buy this it’s their right Hudds to say so without being told to shut up or be convinced otherwise.You put the point forward as to why it changed to Orange but leave it there instead of attacking people,the very thing you kick off about if it happens to you!
Back on topic I actually like both shirts and whatever the colours we look very distinctive!!Hope it’s a Grand Final shirt!!

Re: 2019 kit released
You’re right and for that I apologise. Everyone is entitled to their own views.
I just find it tedious that after 4 years of this now people haven’t moved on.
Dislike it fine. We don’t need the same old comments every season about the colour. It’s here to stay for now. As I’ve said, there are more important issues with the club and the team (in my opinion) than this.
Anyway, I’ve said my twenty four pence worth (probably too much) and for anyone upset I’m sorry. I’ll leave this thread here.

Re: 2019 kit released
I’m more interested in the heart under the shirt be it orange amber yellow pink or green.
Priority imo is what happens on the field.
If I had to put my two penny worth in I’m pretty much old school.
But it’s orange and orange it will stay.
The new generation will know nothing different, Orange will be the norm eventually.
I have lots of good memories in my brain bank of classy cas winning trophies in black and amber, that will never be taken away from me.

Re: 2019 kit released
Over the years we've played in white, lemon, Amber, orange, grey, black, blue, turquoise, red and green.
Personally I get a shirt every year, since we went orange I've gone home, away, home, magic.
Can sort of see where hudds comment about sales comes in, there are very few sports teams in the UK who play in orange which makes us very recognisable as a brand.
Also agree with what ocl said, it's more about what's in the shirt than the colour of it.

Re: 2019 kit released
You are right we have played in a variety of colours in the past, But we have to move on the colours are more vibrant now its what the younger generation want .They like for example the Australian indigenous shirts and buy a lot of them, personally I think they look like an Explosion in a paint factory ,My own personnel gripe was when they took the coat of arms of the shirt and replaced it with the tigers head. But there again it is aimed at a younger Generation. And I can except this. It is what Marketing Your product is all about .Most of you on here who are posting your objections to the colours seem to be the more senior of fans who have watch Cas for a long time like I have ,Move with it ,And remember what your mothers told .ITS NOT THE COVER THAT MAKES THE BOOK. By the way I am a lot older than most of you on here and still buy the shirts don't miss a game even though I am in my 80s. :dance: :dance:Spanishtiger wrote:Over the years we've played in white, lemon, Amber, orange, grey, black, blue, turquoise, red and green.
