Because I never want them again primarily.

 

Adidas if I had the choice. Nike are just template merchants.

We've had some pretty awesome away kits. Hated that 97-99 orange green striped one at the time but think it's stunning now... probably cos it was massively unique and had a good sponsor

Yeah, I was given that one as a xmas present at the time... Didn't care much for it at all and it ended up in back of the wardrobe for years.

 

Coincidentally stumbled across it while looking for something else recently and it definitely has a lot more appeal now.

Adidas didn't put a foot wrong with the away kits for a long time. Wasn't really a bad one among their first 8. After that they stopped putting as much effort in.

Always preferred the 96/7 one to the 95/6 one (both absolutely class mind).

Saudi colours as far back as 1999-2000 season

I don’t think the 98-99 one is very good, although it makes me nostalgic. 99-00 is forgettable. Really liked the 00-01 one. 95-96 obviously just pure class.

some homage to 95-96!

02-03 was my favourite. It was the 1st shirt I got, but also it was a good spell for our club at the time. We beat Juventus at home in it, Juventus went onto to the Champions League final that year and only lost on penalties.

[Yorkie]

02/03 was a bit mad in that it was dark blue shorts. Worked so much better as an away kit with the cream continued. Did it ever get worn with the dark blue?

 

But yeah, every single one of them is a banger.

Remember when they used to fuck about with the material as well? I remember the 96/97 shirt having a completely different feel to the 98/99 shirt.

This as a 3rd/Europe kit next season would be delicious.

[ponsaelius]

Couldn't care less who makes the kits. They're all a much of a muchness these days, producing bland crap with stick-on club badges, none of which I'll buy. Some of the smaller brands tend to make a better effort in terms of design - but fall foul of the same cheap production.

 

Just get whoever gives us the most money.

That was a cracking shirt, aside from Wonga obviously 

[ToonScotman]

With all these new sponsorships of course this an area we were extremely lacking in but it’s ones like tyres and drinks sponsors are these all being added for a potential few big surprises in January to go hand in hand with FFP.

[Wolfcastle]

Aye completely forgot about that shirt. Didn't see that floating around much.

Nice Velez Sarsfield homage for that Argentine kid were after.

I’d have attempted to get one if it wasn’t wonga.

Looks like our new General Counsel has taken up his role at the club now, his LinkedIn has him have started this month

[Tsunami]

Had an interesting conversation with a bloke tonight at a family do. He doesn’t like football but is part of the funny handshake brigade and networks. Anyway he reckons Saudia will be running routes from Ncle and that they’re putting 400M into the club. 
 

I can’t back any of what he said up, it just came up in general conversation when I asked if he followed the football.

[Unbelievable]

Just the casual 400m you say…?

I don't even remotely remember that kit

[Ameritoon]

I think it was just used in one preseason match?

Likewise.  Looks like our ‘original’ away kits from the first couple of decades of the C20th

I thought the 97/98 one was fucking awful at the time, and the passing decades haven’t softened my opinion.  Was also uncomfortable to wear

[WilliamPS]

I hadn’t realised what a curse being the short sponsor is;

 

Newcastle Breweries - gone

Ntl - gone

Northern Rock - gone

Wonga - gone

 

Dont tell Saudi airlines….
