Entering a competition soon with some Newcastle kit designs I've done. 

Totally get that there'll be people who think this design is shite,  but just as a disclaimer, the idea with this one is to do something a bit out there and original. 

My question to you is this, can you tell from looking at this what Newcastle-associated thing influenced the design/colour scheme (jokes aside). That's all I'm asking. Trying to work out whether it's obvious or I'm reaching a bit. 

 

 

 

 

Is it the bridges over the tyne or something? Tyne Bridge, Swing Bridge, Metro bridge colour schemes?

Was he not wearing it the night before? I'm pretty sure there are videos of him on the night time at the ground

Haha most likely, I'm not 100% certain of the timing. But the lad he borrowed it off is actually the lad Sam Fender gave the shout out to on Soccer AM that time.

Tbf he did borrow that off a mate, cos I half know the guy he borrowed it off.

He has always been a Newcastle fan though, as per the hundreds of photos of him out there in NUFC kit as a kid.

Tyneview park, I’m sure the tall lad from those quiz writers works there. Think his twitter is rammlet?

I presume everyone has registered the joke there with our DoF situation? 😂

It's a lot like Northumberland Tartan (https://www.northumberlandtartan.co.uk) which I love. I think it looks far better - as always - on the players than it does on dodgy hangers in a manky storeroom, or on DHGate mockups based on guesses.

Bet there's a manky white patch crest on the fans version though.

As suspected

Don't wanna be a fun sponge so all I'll say is that the silicone badge looks fantastic and undermines the argument for needing a change.

Doesn't anyone else think it's weird that we've got the lion popping out of the top of the castle like he's just won a game of hide and seek?

It's only there cos it's on the city crest though, not like they've grabbed that from nowhere and chucked it on the club crest for a laugh.

I think people need to disregard that thing, it's not gonna be that, it almost certainly never was an option, and was probably someone dicking around and never for public consumption, and some dickhead has broken some confidences somewhere to throw it into the public realm.

Will the new crest be on the new kit?

Considering they've just announced only that they're going to discuss it, they don't have a decision on a new one yet, the new kits will have already been mass-produced in their thousands and some are already in retailers' stockrooms...I'm gonna say no 

Iconic moments aren't paid for by their sponsors Google, and setup by one of their social media staff sat at the side of the pitch with the mobile phone ready to hand to them. 

Probably the change kit colours given away on that collection as well.

Wouldn't be shocked if that's the new kit template style, seems to match up.

Maybe the Community Shield as well if you count that?

Yeah that's why the three promoted teams are gonna get relegated with the lowest cumulative total of points in PL history. The gap is so small.

2 zip!

I thought green with envy window was Fletcher and Adam Johnson?

I'm guessing they've offered a full refund, or 50% refund to keep it as it is, because they don't have any more in stock. 

The Sam Fender line hit me personally - absolutely perfect @Heron. You lads are an absolute credit to the club, the city - and yourselves.

Took this yesterday, my favourite picture of the lot.

What a mint day.

I don't follow any other teams closely enough to do that. I just wait to hear what Kaka and TCD have to say about players and use their judgement

 

Well ditto, but the hive mind of the forum might give us a decent view of where we see our competitors?

It could be that actually even though we've ranked our squad as reasonably low, and we look at it on the face of it as being a squad in need or refresh, the clubs around us may be ranked similarly and we're not an outlier.

I'd love to see this same exercise done for some other teams around us, to see where the squads sit in terms of numbers of each rating. Would be a very interesting brain and statistics exercise.

Maybe more the massive delay in approvals put them off tbf.
