MrRaspberryJam Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Red and yellow on the strip gives it a real dash of much needed colour. Added bonus of white socks and it's refreshingly clean.  Really smart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in terms of our identity and creating something distinctly Newcastle - Something iconic and immediately identifiable as us - Red isn't it, in my opinion. It's such an overused colour, not to mention the colour of most of our despised rivals.  But look, that's my lot on the matter, if you like it, fair enough, for me the mid-late nineties styles captured the imagination best. Cool, stylish & consistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 The red we use for our numbering and lettering is different to the red that they use. Ours is a much darker red. As it happens I like a dark red, maroon, but letter box red colours I can’t stand, especially on cars, and this was long before I got interested in football.

Rather than $120 at the official store. I ordered one for me and the little guy today so it worked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Saw a bloke at the coast wearing it, it’s pretty smart tbf. Also a lad who’d gambled on the Saudia sponsorship option and was wearing a proper DH special which warmed the heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Sure I read on here that UEFA rules are that a striped kit has to have a block panel on the back, but Inter don’t so maybe that’s not true anymore? Be nice if we don’t have to stick a panel on for our games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't that great a fan of it, the pin stripe thing never done it for me. Really liked the one I alluded to earlier though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Having now seen it in the flesh, glad to say I still think it's pretty sharp if not mindblowing. Really like the collar tbh and, as has been discussed to death, the sponsor is a huge upgrade. I think the top of the shoulders is a bit weird with that tapered black panel, but I'm only nitpicking. Would've been sorely tempted had the scandalous price not made the decision very easy. Itching to get one of the 90s aways so will put any shirt dollar towards that instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 How's the sizing on the real ones? Can you choose one without the Noon patch or will you only get one of those if you're lucky early doors? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't yield many goals (last minute Andy cole strike 0-1 the first game) then the year later a dour 0-0 draw - bloody Keegan always winning or losing 4-3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
