Guest Knightrider Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Do you know why they used blue shorts with black and white a few times after using black with the first strip (or grey as that link has it)? The suppliers ran out of black material and the club thought no-one would know the difference anyway, all true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 BTW we apparently decided on black & white stripes because it made the players look bigger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newcastle_United/Newcastle_United.htm 1980 tbh What the..where is the mcewan's lager shirt? I have it hangin' up like 3 metres to my right surely i can't be imagining it? It's listed as the "alternate logo" for 1991-93 and 1993-95. So you're not crazy.

Wullie Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Don't worry Shido, it did exist: http://www.sporting-heroes.net/files_football/COLE_Andy_19930918_NF_L.jpg but it was never a main shirt, it was just a different verson of the '93-'95 shirt with the blue star. I have absolutely no recollection of why we had a different version though? I remember we used to have to replace the Newcastle Brown symbol with both Swallow Hotels and Center Parcs in a few European ties in the late 90s because of (I think) a ruling about alcohol advertisements on shirts. That doesn't make much sense concerning McEwan's Lager though, plus I've found a picture of us playing Chelsea in that shirt. Actually most of the Google image searches of players from that time feature them wearing that shirt... perhaps it was our main shirt and the blue star a rarity, I'm confused now. Someone who was older than 8 at the time will remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alexharrisonnufc Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 i thought the mcEwans lager one was the one that was used more commonly, and that the blue star was the rarer of the two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who was older than 8 at the time will remember. From what I remember the McEwans Logo shirt was worn whenever a TV company had paid for the rights to show that match - this included SKY and other foreign channels - as they did not think that the Blue Star logo was as well known around the world - heathens !

Someone who was older than 8 at the time will remember. The Center Parcs thing is because alcohol advertising is banned in France, it still is, which is why Scotland had TFG instead of The Famous Grouse, on their shirts for the Rugby on Saturday and Wales have "Brawn" instead of "Brains" when they play in Paris. As I remember it, the McEwans thing came about simply because S & N decided that they wanted to have that, rather than the usual blue star. I think it only lasted for a year and the design of the shirt was exactly the same as the one with the star, which is probably why it's not on that site.

Skirge Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 So both sleeves now then and 1 sock still.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Obviously the front of the strip is gonna be the last thing unveiled. Is this gonna be done online, or is there some kinda of "kit launch" where we'll see the final product for the first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 i have a bad feeling the shorts will be white... just seems obvious when everything is reversed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think they will keep the shorts matching the mostley black theme, black shorts thick white stripe. But then again they could be fkn blue for all wee know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
