NUFC kits & merchandise

[Geordie Boyo]

I mean, it’s not bad - similar look to the one when Ba & Cisse played, but plain black & white stripes without any patching - especially the big patch on the back, would have been perfect.

has this been shared yet?

 

shows some alternative designs to the grandad collar for that season

 

 

 

 

 

From the old black and white videos wasn't it? Strange looking at Venison and Hottiger in the away kit as they were sold before the start of the season so never actually wore it competively.

[Mazzy]

It's alright, pretty much what I expected.

 

It's not the home kit (or any of the kits) that I was actually excited about when we got Adidas back, it's all the other clothing they do so much better than Castore.

[Kid Icarus]

It's unbelievably boring like  Like offensively so. 

 

Castore's kits piss all over it tbh

I’ve said it before Adidas are vastly overrated by our support. 1995 & 1999 the only two really good shirts adidas gave us

I think this is fair.

They bring out some absolute stunning ones, but a lot are quite forgettable, especially towards the end of their time here the last time.

As others have said though, I guess it’s their quality standards, their distribution network, and their offering outside of shirts.

If they do a remake of the classics, then again that will make many fans very happy.

[Sima]

Aye, even the 4 mishap was better than this as a home shirt.

[Turnbull2000]

That's shit. Don't like the lack of stripes on the back at all.

[Kid Icarus]

Absolutely no reason for the shite on the back as well. Here's Barca's kit

Likewise

 

[gbandit]

Personally think it looks shite, the back is totally characterless

[Jack27]

Probably gonna wait for an official announcement before I declare adidas era over

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Let’s be honest here. If we challenge for the league or wear that top in a cup final it’s going to be looked back on as a great kit.

 

if we finish 10th it’s going to be the worst kit ever

[54]

Looks inoffensive and a bit "Meh", not bad, not horrendous. 

 

I actually really like this years kit with the white on the back, that's been worn in the Champions League, think I prefer it to the stripes on the back tbh.

Well if its a title challenge kit, then it will have a place in everyone's memories. 

 

The kit looks pretty drab and and uninspiring.  

 

There are so many more exciting designs for a stripped kit. Its a play on the 2001 & 2002 kit with very little difference.

This exactly. They've played it safe and the season we have will dictate as to how it's remembered. Nothing wrong with it but nothing spectacular

"Three stripes to mirror the club badge" is often the reasoning (at least from Puma). 

[Kid Icarus]

I'm convinced that kit designers are just given a template and their job is to do what they can with it and reverse engineer their 'inspiration' for why it looks like shite. 

[Keegans Export]

I quite like a fairly straightforward design tbf. And as someone who is colourblind and struggles with black/red the white patch is something I'm very much in favour of.

I’d say it’s most similar to the adidas 2001-2003 shirt 

[Kid Icarus]

Absolutely no reason that something like this wouldn't meet accessibility and readability guidelines either.

Unpopular opinion it seems, but I agree with this.  Wearing it on Saturday reminded me that I prefer it.  

 

The new kit looks really bland.  5/10.  Not horrendous or anything.  But nothing particularly interesting about it, either.

Despite what I just said about this season's kit.  That looks a lot better for next season's. 

[Yorkie]

There's absolutely no excuse not to have stripes on the back, like. It's a purely commercial choice as it encourages consumers to pay extra for names and numbers. 

 

Makes for an easier paint job on Subbuteo figures mind.

I agree too. The white patch is much better. Id go as far as saying I want white shorts permanently too.

The most incredibly esoteric silver lining
