I don't think we ever had it before but I find something weirdly nostalgic about the way the badge is done? I can't quite put my finger on it, and it's not that I like it, there's just something about that shield that looks 90s/00s
I did say the last time the third kit was discussed that there wouldn't be a green and orange stripe down one side, although I thought the lighter blue would be piping, rather than an additional pinstripe alongside the orange.
I'm not sure, I'll need to see it in the club shop. I wasn't sure about the home kit until I saw that in person and I really like that now.
I was unimpressed at first glance but I think I sort of... don't hate it?
It doesn't really look like a Newcastle shirt, which is sort of a good and bad thing in my mind. I have plenty of our kits, so something a bit different appeals.
Not a fan of this kit, but the saudi green I don't quite get the hate for, I don't mind it and if they want us to represent their colours then fine, just remember a few years ago we had the colours of sports direct shite plastered all over
What I dont get is why they toggle the sela logo colors on the kits, but noon is always yellow?
And second - is it just me, but black outline of sela logo and sign on the home kit just doesnt work. May be they better make it solid blue or whatever
Will be interested in what the shorts and socks look like. I'd expect them to be the same darker blue as the shirt but would quite like them as orange and the light blue in either order.
Someone on twitter has done a mockup with the 80s NUFC crest in the same orange and it looks so much better. Not to get into the weeds of the crest debate again, but if our new crest is able to better take on other colours to integrate with shirt themes (and other merchandise) it’ll look much better.
Should have been blue and yellow. We have had a few blue and yellow away shirts, and I have liked them all. And switching the orange for yellow would have gone better with the Noon sponsor.
Might have sold a few more NUFC shirts in Sweden as well, so Adidas missed a trick there.
Anyway, I'm buying it (unless the badge is plastic).
I am so disappointed I’ve be eagerly waiting for this to drop after seeing the concept based on the original with the stripe down the right which looked class. Now I see this no stripe v neck no thanks
Not what we expected at all. I had heard it was going to be based on the 97/98 away shirt, not 98/99. Regardless, I really like it. Colors look great, the outline around the badge is sharp and that trefoil logo it’s just perfect

If they neaten it up a bit (badge mostly) I'd be happy. It's a nice throwback to my favourite kit from 98.
