Think it’s hideous, TBH. Could have been really good and all. 
 

Unpopular opinion, but I don’t like that old crest and never have. Looks like a kids/comic book drawing. It’s too big and all. 
 

Not sure if it was even an option. But the Adidas logo should be the trefoil and the same colour and size as the badge, at least. 
 

I actually like the colours and the texture of it. But it all just looks like a random mish mash to me.

To be fair, we've come a long way. We're now complaining that our adidas-made third shit, featuring the old retro NUFC crest and a huge revenue-generating sponsor, has gone on sale too early on the JD Sports website in Australia.

 

It's only a couple of years ago that our giant number 4 Castore shirt with falling off £2.50 per year gambling sponsorship was launched with a 'form an orderly queue' facepalm tweet and liked by 6 mouth breathers in Byker. 

 

That's all fair enough. Most of my grumbles stem from a broader irritation about the state of kits across the board, really - having to align to a poxy template, nostalgia-baiting, prices, the dumbing down of iconography. None of these issues are unique to Adidas.

 

But if there's one thing which is, it's that the gear looks horrendous on the players. 

 

State of the Belgium one:

We should get away with it - at least visually - thanks to the stripes, but you can still see it clinging to them:

It will be however a handy indication to determine which players are (Joelinton, Bruno, Isak, Gordon), and aren't (Longstaff, Burn if playing at leftback, the Greek keeper even though he isnt in the squad and Tonali if he doesn't replicate the performance against Rangers in a pre season friendly) trying based on how clingy the shirt is during the game.

I don’t like that old crest either. It was one of those 70’s style type faces that came 10 years for its time and has gone out of fashion along with avocado bathrooms.

I much prefer the logo with the magpie and castle, and I believe we’ll end up with an updated version of that. I think they have even snuck it in the background of the Eales interview as well.

Love the third kit, throwback crest. The material stuff is kinda annoying to see but I don’t really give a shit about it. Spain seemed to do more than OK with a clingy wet shirt whilst waltzing around Germany beating everyone at the euros.

Collars on that man [emoji38] I remember having it. Definitely not to be worn on a windy day.

Seem to remember acuna in a collar that could fly ha

He’ll have been used to wearing a good collar because he was a bulldog in that midfield. 
 

 

….and that kids is a dad joke. Don’t acknowledge it. Just look away and change the conversation.

I like the different weave in the fabric for the stripes. The embroidery cultists might not be happy with that badge tho. Brilliant to see our gear for sale in NYC.Screenshot_20240721_182525_SamsungInternet.thumb.jpg.b26a9fda3e3f6ad91d3966dd0b862b91.jpg

Why in the actual f*ck would they go with white though!?

 

Off white/cream and that's perfectly reasonable if not a bit lazy.

 

Nice that the fans over the pond get a sniff at the gear in stores now though.

you could barely buy the Castore shit in Newcastle, never mind New York :lol:

 

design quabbles aside, it’s just nice to see us back finally operating on the level we deserve.

Remember him celebrating winning a last minute penalty at home to Ipswich in 02 only for Shearer to stick it wide.
