wormy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I miss the Adidas days when no shirts were seen before the release preview. I long for the suspense filled days where they'd expose a part of a picture of the new kit each day, and it'd always start with half the sock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Bigger pic: http://idata.over-blog.com/3/88/03/34/--/mm/bff/fg/phophph/j-j-.gif Reminds me of this one from1976... http://www.kitbag.com/stores/kitbag/products/product_details.aspx?pid=67514 Obviously the collar is different and the outer black stripes are too wide, but the '76 one also had white sleeves (with just a strip of Bukta logos down it). Was thinking exactly the same. I'm less appalled at the sight of this than I was when I first saw this season's. Could clearly be miles better though.

Interpolic Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I wish Puma would just f*** off. Cheap tacky s**** 100% agree with this, even stoke get addidas shirts! Some people complain for the sake of complaining... Not really. They're complaining because they dislike Puma, like Adidas, and Newcastle's kits are made by Puma.

And the irony is that not so long ago the thought was that Adidas was sh*t, looks ugly cramming Adidas stripes onto an already striped shirt, and that we are glad to be leaving Adidas because Puma produce some nice looking stuff.

Interpolic Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'd have happily stayed with Adidas as we had consistently nice/decent kits with them. Only other make I'd fancy is Nike. Puma and Umbro have made some alright strips in the last few years, but they're nowhere near as consistently good as Nike / Adidas imo. Umbro will have to have another good 3-4 years for me to think they've turned the corner, because they made some right old shite for a long time imo. Overall just very disappointed with how cheap-looking this season's Puma strips were, and that they didn't even try designing something that was at least bit 'trendy' or unique if their focus clearly wasn't on quality. Would be delighted to move back to Adidas ASAP because you know what you're getting with them generally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I'm really happy with the design of our current home shirt, it's the best we've had since 2006. The only issue is that the quality is piss poor and the iron on patch on the front makes us look like a pub side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I suppose we've seen this over on Toontastic? http://www.football-shirts.co.uk/fans/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/newcastle1112.jpg Hopefully it's just a fan made mock up.

It would only be ironic if I or Ryanegg shared these sentiments. All I ask is that my logo is stitched onto my shirts, is that realy too much to ask?

midds Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Don't like it. Didn't like the one before either, nor the one before that, the one before that and the one before that. Spotting a pattern tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 If we had Umbro we wouldn't get that. They'd make up some shitty unique kit just for us, that would make pepole go 'I wish we were still with Puma'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Has enyone ever actualy bought another clubs shirt (Juve, Santos, Udines etc) and actualy unsown the badge and sowed on an NUFC crest?

Toon Hoser Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Just shows hows simple it should be, don't see why they would try and complicate a striped shirt so much I'm not a sports marketing expert, but I think what happens is that these hotshot designers that get hired by the kitmakers each try to deliberately produce something complicated instead of simple. With a complicated design, the hope is that they will be producing an "iconic" design that will be beloved / reproduced / templated / remembered forever. That's why instead of classic simplicity we get muddled shite every year. *puts on 1974 shirt, curls up in a ball, cries himself to sleep* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzie1980 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 It's absolutly awful. Looks like the whole back might be black looking at the enlarged photo. Worst strip ever. Hardly any stripes man! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertCommunicator Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I loved the Adidas shirts. Bought one every season, the most recent one being the yellow one which was a love/hate affair (I loved it!). I haven't bought a puma one, I just think their stuff is a bit tacky, and if that really is the new home shirt, I defo won't buy it! That Nike shirt looks lovely by the way, that's how a shirt should be - simple and classy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
