Geordie Boyo Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) I think they look like pyjamas when the stripes are thin or a prisoner of war uniform. The 3 striped shirt sounds like the one we wore when Ba and Cisse played for us. Yep, there’s no doubt about it and no different opinion allowed I’’m afraid. This is clearly by a mile the best home shirt. Case closed. Shutdown the forum. Edited August 25, 2023 by Geordie Boyo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The Asics blue paint brush away top doesn't get love it deserves. Maybe because it's too close timeline wise the legendary hooped away shirt, but I honestly rank it as our second best ever away shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is clearly by a mile the best home shirt. Case closed. Shutdown the forum. Agreed. Personally I also hate thin stripes and I much prefer the middle stripe to be white. This is key whether you have this thickness stripes or wider. I wouldn't go for wider stripes when it comes to Newcastle but this is also fantastic imo https://store.paokfc.gr/en/episimi-fanela-paok-aspromayri-rige-18-19-461-008600.html (would have been perfect if not for the fact the whole freaking back is black ) So let's recap the key points that make the shirt above perfect: Right width/amount of stripes Middle stripe is white Stripes go all the way up, i.e. no black or white shoulders Stripes on the sleeves. On top of that, the adidas stripes make the sleeves even better (works fantastically on the shorts as well. I think it's better than plain coloured shorts) Goes without saying, stripes down the back. Box is ok, as long as at least SOME of the back is striped. I don't know how much you can replicate that 96 shirt. FIrst of all that sponsor logo also made the shirt and the wide shirts of the time allowed for more horizontal space to fit 4 black stripes of decent width.

I agree with all above and this is actually quite a smart jersey. Would definitely be nice with our crest on. The point on the patches covering the shoulders or down the sides has always irritated me (which doesn’t take much). Just looks better watching the game when you see the stripes going over like that.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Im seeing a lot of the Juve shirts on holiday and unpopular opinion alert…… it’s quite grown on me (not that I’d want it for us, but maybe that style as a one off) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Bairns been patiently waiting for the blue away keeper, is there a reason it's not being released? Shorts etc have been on sale for ages, just not that top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked good but it was horrifically made, I think ASICS ended up offering refunds or replacements to everyone who bought it if my memory serves me right. I was but a nipper back then after all, but ended up with a replacement McEwans lager home shirt instead after it destroyed itself by clicks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 209 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 This is the 24/25 Argentina shirt that leaked a while ago. Knowing that adidas use templates, and that this has the three bold stripes that were mentioned in the Amazon doc, I think there is a very high chance this will be the NUFC design with black in place of blue.

Kid Icarus Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Mad how just switching the placement makes them very distinctly Newcastle or Juventus. That would be okay.

Scotty66 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 They look great. Wasn't keen on Sela logo at first but it's slowly looking better. I think the fact it's black and white makes a massive positive difference to any future kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit's have always been from templates, really. Some of the greatest kits ever were a template...Dutch 88 (also used by others, Soviet Union Home). Denmark 86 was the Aston Villa, Coventry kit in essence. Even NUFC 85 Silver was Wolves Home the same year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want a kit made for us, it's own entity, and without sponsors (never going to happen i know in the modern game). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually possible to have an unobtrusive sponsor, as proved by Rangers in 2012-13: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
