From the 2026 season, Castore will become the club’s Official Kit Partner, supplying fully bespoke performance wear for all Hampshire teams, from the talent pathway to the first team, and a premium lifestyle collection for supporters.
This partnership unites a club with elite ambitions and a brand that has rapidly established itself at the top level of global sport. Castore’s influence spans England Cricket, Formula One, top-flight football, and leading domestic cricket sides. Their arrival at the Utilita Bowl reflects Hampshire’s continued growth, on and off the field, as the club moves into a defining period of its modern era.
Castore’s design team is already in collaboration with Hampshire Cricket, building a completely custom kit range that merges the club’s heritage with cutting-edge performance engineering. The result will be a fresh identity for the next phase of Hampshire Cricket, crafted for players, built for supporters, and designed to meet the demands of elite competition.
This is the start of a really exciting new era for the club as we bring on Castore as our Official Kit Partner. Their partnerships across elite sport, from England Cricket to Formula One, speak volumes about their ambition and quality.
