I didn’t think Bath had a women’s team but as you say otherwise
it’s only Falcons - who are famously skint.

There is a Bath women's team, under the same badge, just not in
the premiership.

Bath don’t seem to be embracing their women’s squad in the same
way as the other Prem clubs. They have to play on an awful pitch
on the edge of the City with ancient facilities. No state of the
art training ground sharing for them.

Not even mentioned on the club website. Hence me missing that
they had a team

They play in Championship 1 south so second tier with Richmond,
London Irish, Old Albanians ( Saracens B team) and Thurrock
amongst others . They are the main teams.

Could be wrong but I think they're associated with the amateurs.
Although the pro team has applied unsuccessfully (twice?) for
their inclusion in the top level.

someone (not Castore) who puts out better quality goods might be
a start. Or even licensing the logo/name (maybe they already
do?). But as mentioned before, it's probably inconsequential in
terms of value.

As a collector of rugby kits/stash from historic to recent, I
really hope we drop Castore soon and go with Nike. Their pro fit
rugby kit is the ducks nuts, the fan version also good quality,
they put out a brilliant cotton version too (google Nikes
classic cotton Racing 92 shirt; have a gander of that and
imagine ours if we had Nike do one like that), they have a good
selection of off-field items/casual wear. All much better
quality and visually pleasing than Castore. No more expensive
but all the more expansive. Failing that I would like to pick up
Umbro as 2nd option. They also do a great range of on field/off
field gear for England etc

I've visited the Racing 92 shop in Paris (no idea if it's still
there) and they had a wide range and also seemed very busy. I
realise Twickenham isn't the centre of the capital, but
including online orders I'm sure they could better exploit what
is arguably the most recognised name in club rugby in the world?

Glad I saw this comment, as I meant Racing 92 but for some
reason I wrote Castres! I’ve amended now on my original comment.
Yes their shop has a wide range of both Racing 92 Nike and
Racing 92 Own Brand stock. Which surely means a bit more
fluidity/flexibility from Nikes part when it comes to giving the
club freedom to put their own merch in-store & online. Plus as I
say, they make some cracking kits in all 3 demanded fits; Pro,
Fan & Classic.
And definitely, one of the most recognised brands in the Rugby
World. The name, the traditional shirt colours and the brand of
rugby. Certainly a demand for it there. Id much prefer to pay
the markup for quality goods in a brand like Nike & Umbro
instead of pretty much the same markup but for Castore with
lesser visuals/quality
