Warwickshire and Birmingham Phoenix announce new kit partner

Warwickshire County Cricket Club and Birmingham Phoenix have revealed that Castore will be the official technical kit partner of the men’s and women’s teams for the 2026 season and beyond.

The British sportswear brand will provide playing kit, training kit and travel wear for the Rothesay County Championship, Metro Bank One Day Cup, Warwickshire Bears Men and Women and Birmingham Phoenix Men and Women, in a deal which runs to the end of 2031.

Castore will oversee kit manufacturing for all Bears and Phoenix teams, as well as providing the Edgbaston retail store with all technical wear for supporters to purchase.

Birmingham Phoenix are the first The Hundred franchise team to agree a deal with a kit supplier for 2026.

Adam Lowe, commercial director at Warwickshire County Cricket Club, said: “Castore’s innovative approach to kit design and manufacturing made them a very attractive brand to partner with and we are thrilled to be able to announce this long-term agreement today.

“Fans can expect to see high-quality, innovative designs across all our ranges, while incorporating the spirit and tradition of the club.

“We want our players to wear something comfortable which has been designed to enhance performance, while giving our supporters a range of products which they will be proud to wear both on matchdays and in their day-to-day life, and in Castore we believe we have the perfect partner to deliver that.”

Tom Beahon, founder and co-CEO of Castore said: “We’re hugely proud to be partnering with Warwickshire County Cricket Club and Birmingham Phoenix, two teams with incredible ambition.

“With Phoenix becoming the first The Hundred franchise to secure a kit deal for 2026, there’s real momentum at Edgbaston, with both teams now united under one technical partnership in one of the country’s great sporting cities.

“We’re already proud to be working with England opening batter Ben Duckett, who has represented the Phoenix for the last three years, as a Castore athlete and ambassador.

“At Castore, we’re focused on blending innovation with the heritage that makes cricket so special, and this partnership gives us the opportunity to bring that approach to both teams.

“Our aim is to deliver kit engineered for elite performance and designed with supporters firmly in mind, reflecting the identity and ambition that make these teams so distinctive.”

The Warwickshire and Birmingham Phoenix kit launches will take place in Spring 2026.
