For people calling it cringe, as above, its no different to the ones produced in 1995/96 for the launch of the 'entertainers' kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were legit NUFC/adidas ads. The ones above are evidently just adidas-sponsored NUFC players, note the lack of NUFC crests on show or anything. Obviously a deliberate choice to use NUFC players but there's non-NUFC ones out there too, Bellingham has done one for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Those adverts remind me of one of my favourite NUFC videos of all time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Absolutely love our players in these ads man. Fuck the normal same faces we see in the ads. We actually have NUFC players doing ads for adidas man! Proper love Joelinton, absolute fav of mine. Miley and Gordon, you wouldn't have envisioned where they'd be now at the end of that Chelsea away game last season.

Thanks for that, I have been thinking for years that I must have dreamt about that afro mullet advert, second only to the honey monster ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume Castore might have something to say about it if we tried that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sleeves are huge in length and the shirt itself barely reaches past my waist. If the seller is trying to pull off the baggy 90s style fit then he’s failed. It’s all out of proportion.

Yorkie Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 kk. Thanks for being the guinea pig. It's good news really because I was ready to hoover up all of the latest additions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Yeah but for a couple of quid no big loss. Shame really as the material and stitching is really well put together and it’s really nice to look at. Like you I was hoping this one would be on-point so I could take the plunge and buy the 97-98 away shirt. Ah well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body is really short, not tight, just like it’s about 10cm too short. Not saying they copied it on purpose mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cort Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Found this line to be interesting in Mark Douglas' article: 'Newcastle’s “big bang” moment from a commercial revenue perspective comes in May, when a long-term, record deal with sportswear giants Adidas kicks in and the club take back control of their retail operation.' Is it really this soon? Usually kit changes don't happen until July, so was surprised to see this. I mean, not complaining - wonder if we can even wear the new kit on the final day if the May date is true. https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-copy-man-utd-blueprint-ffp-fears-2869844 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I'm curious as to how much of shirt sales actually goes to the club and how much Castore take, as well as the percentage of the new deal. As I have a hunch that given Castore run the club shop, they probably take a fair percentage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the way Ashley subcontracted much of the running of club functions out, I wouldn’t be surprised if Castore pay the club a fixed annual fee and an absolutely tiny percentage of sales. The fat cunt really did fuck the club over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
