And aye, 2007-2009 kit was first to have the panel on the back for the number, if you forget the shield on the back of the 1997-99 shirt, which I thought was even worse than the black or white panel. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newcastle_United/Newcastle_United.htm http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newcastle_United/Newcastle_United-change-kits.html Hate how bad our sponsors have been since Northern Rock.

Whitley mag Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) The blue away strip Dabizas ripped off at the SOS with NTL on was a classic, if Adidas keep it simple they’re hard to beat. Edited November 17, 2022 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I still love Umbro kits, they’re absolute masters of simple, respectful design. I’ll try and forget the ‘barcode’ kit from the early ‘90s (not exactly an era of particularly dapper kits generally). Brentford’s home kit is perfect Umbro - no faff, no frills - standard size stripes and a simple collar I’m sure whatever conservatism is in me is expressed via football. I never feel like this about clothing and traditions outside of the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was purely aesthetics and nowt else I'd have Umbro every day of the week. Sadly, they're probably not going to deliver the type of deal we're after.

Superior Acuña Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) I thought the penultimate Adidas kit - the one we got relegated in, was proper shit. Worst in my life along with the Puma spikey one. Their last one was decent though. (I think it was shit cos of how it looks, not the association. Too much black, shiny material, dodgy collar, badge in the middle) i think this year’s is good. Edited November 18, 2022 by Inferior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't really a bad one among their first 8. After that they stopped putting as much effort in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 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.

Dr.Spaceman Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 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.

ToonScotman Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 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.

Tsunami Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
