You try JD?

Online aye, M and L gone.

Woosh, despatch email already for the shirt ordered at 9am, that was just the standard delivery option, too! 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Some stock in the club shop still, unpacking more boxes. 
 

Decided against the hoodie for now but might go back and try on. 

[TheHoob]

They sorted out a mirror for the changing room in the club shop yet? 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

No, that’s why I didn’t buy a hoodie

[TBG]

Queue is massive in the shop

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Might’ve seen you mate, I was in out in about 25 mins. Not too bad.

Luckily I've already got everything (i mean everything) I wanted.

 

Just wanted to pop in and make sure I'd still fit into a small after eating two extra biscuits this morning.

Just been to club shop - small queue formed outside the door now. Stowed off inside. 

Lots of lads in Stack wearing it.
They seemed to have everything in stock from what I could gather.

This range is proving to be a big hit which is great but I'm not sure why it's so popular. 

It doesn't seem to relate to any specific period of the club, the retro shirt has a late 80s adidas aesthetic and the other stuff looks like early 90s stuff from the adidas EQT era (a year or two before adidas partnered with NUFC for the first time), but using the trefoil which was phased out by then. I'm a football kit nerd so that combination of trefoil badge and EQT design is just wrong for me.
And none of it seems to have any historical or nostalgia element for NUFC fans.

It seems I'm in the minority here tho.

people like the trefoil, and the stuff looks nice. I think that's the long and short of it

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I think it’s more that it’s cool clothing that happens to be NUFC. 
 

And a slight echo of the 90s adidas training gear etc. 

 

I maintain it’s weird how little football clubs try to sell streetwear.

Aye, it’s all very much too 90’s for me.

Growing up in a council estate east of Newcastle, it’s very much a design of what all the assholes in the estate would wear, before ‘loungewear’ became popular and acceptable to wear.

So the tracksuits don’t interest me at all. The shirt looks nice, but it’s not really a design the club had at any point, and I think they would have been better off just re-issuing the 96 tops, although I think they will actually do that further down the line.

[TBG]

Can tell who the double denim wearers are in here.

yes, that design just reminds me of scrufters in the 90s.

what’s worse it’s people disliking one coz it’s castore and forcing themselves to like the adidas stuff just coz it’s adidas. The adidas stuff is nothing more than alright. A nod to the 90s but a weak nod at that 

 

I like both in fairness. I like my money more tho so not paying those ridiculous prices
