Collage Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I really like the b&w one and the blue one. Hope the Saudi one is a 3rd shirt/wind up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just not going to change overnight, as abhorrent as it is. As much as we want it to. I totally respect that, but if they want to be seen in a different light, they're going to need to do more than hold Prestige sporting events or getting malleable fans to wear Saudi strips.

I know it could technically be improved, but it is iconic and part of the clubs culture which should be maintained.

NG32 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Im not keen the "shirt" i think its bit too early to pull moves like that and they should have started with a bit of gradual drift towards a colour scheme like that. The new leaked shirts all seem really bland an uninspiring for a rebirth of a football club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nows the time to stop. You could say the same about the states also though. Beheading believe it or not is a more humane method of killing than the gas chamber, electric chair and lethal injection (when they get it wrong). I'm no way saying that the death penalty is the right thing, but don't leave western countries out of it either. France was still using the guillotine into the 70's.

The fact that in 2022 the death penalty is still used anywhere is shameful for the whole human race as a whole. It’s just clearly wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) The media are in a state of denial it seems. Everyone knows that PIF own NUFC but the media are only happy with that, if NUFC/PIF stays in a well defined box and doesn't rock the boat. I think the next 3 months, PIF will go large on NUFC. Sponsorship details will be announced all over the place, new signings. Events such as boxing lined up at St James, golf tournaments in Newcastle. PIF I think have watched how the premier league clubs have acted since the takeover and I think they are going to say fuck em. The next 3 months, the media will wrap itself in knots at the level of conflict that they face. They will try to protect the top 6 but then know they can't burn bridges as NUFC will soon be a top 6 side. Going to be glorious to watch, and the new away strip, is the 1st in your face statement. Plenty more to come IMHO. Edited May 14, 2022 by Awaymag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a third kit in Saudi colours. They'd no doubt just say it was a commercial decision, which I imagine it was and they'll be greeted with sportswashing claims regardless. It might not even make it to production the way it is going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Visit Saudi as the sponsor is going to look class on that attempt mind! I knew this was coming (not exactly this, but the closer and closer ties) and the ensuing moral discussions. This isn't my line, but it's far more brazen than I had them pegged for.

The Prophet Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) I just don't think I've read the room here. Our 80% owners are the investment arm of KSA. We have a away/third kit in their colours, probably to flog shirts over there. I feel pretty strongly that countries and state actors shouldn't be allowed to own football clubs it's even worse that KSA have such an appalling human right record, but here we are. The colour of a kit doesn't really change any of that for me, we're constantly reminded who holds the purse strings regardless. I'm not defending it, I'm just very "meh" about it.
