AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Some stock in the club shop still, unpacking more boxes. Decided against the hoodie for now but might go back and try on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Harry 209 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 (edited) 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.

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.

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 Edited September 27 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
