I think having chosen those colours in the first place is very much a sign of their intentions - they'll not want them to be associated with a losing team. And they won’t be!

nbthree3 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Original intention was a Vision 2030 sponsor apparently (article from October) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/10/18/premier-league-clubs-ban-owner-funded-sponsors-scuppering-potential/ "Prior to the initial takeover approach collapsing a year ago, discussions had taken place around giving significant prominence to Vision 2030, the Mohammed bin Salman-led plan to diversify Saudi's economy away from oil. However, the prospect of advertising such an explicit connection to Saudi's controversial leadership had been fading even prior to a Premier League vote on Monday to temporarily ban owner-funded deals. Now it is two other long-term options - the Saudia airline or potentially a Saudi-based new tour operator - that are being earmarked by insiders as the most likely next shirt and stadium brands." See if anything on that front comes at the end of the season. Shirt colour, trips to Saudi Arabia, we'll probably buy the country's best talent in the future. All tied to the 80% majority owners that bring the most investment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever tried to change the home colour (which they won’t) I think everyone would boycott the club until it changed back No way could we change from black and white Saying that we did used to play in Red / white /Red when we first became Newcastle for two years (1892-1894) http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newcastle_United/Newcastle_United.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would usually have been unveiled by now, and potentially even worn in the final game, but change in sponsorship likely means they can't unveil till Fun88 are done at the end of the season.

MrRaspberryJam Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Was going to buy myself that light blue/greyish Castore/Newcastle hoodie Tindall wears for something to wear on the plane. Just seen the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 That away kit is only going to course us a lot of trouble, if true. Really poor strategy if true. It will hurt the brand NUFC and i think its too much in the face. Maybe its only showing whats going on but personally i do not like it at all.

Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t going to cause us any problems. The people complaining about it will complain regardless due to the ownership. Unfortunately, the nature of sportswashing and the constant critique our club will come under will create a siege mentality where a large portion of our fans back the Saudi regime.

Personally i would not like us to play in that kit or any other kit that represents our owners interests more then the clubs history and tradition. May that be Sports Direct, a country or a nasty sponsor on the chest...it will probably be a step to distance me from the club the same (but different) way that Mikes regime did.
