Newcastle United wore their new strip for the very first time last night, and there’s a lot more white in the shirt than the previous strip.
Newcastle starting eleven in new strip before last night’s game
We’re not sure we like it all that much, and the Virgin Money insignia looks a little cheap to us, but maybe not.
Here’s a close-up of the new strip we had published last month
Please tell us whether you like the new strip or not.
By the way do you notice how tall Sammy Ameobi is these days – he’s even taller now than Mike Williamson – it’s those McDonald hamburgers for sure. 😀

Comment #43Was just looking through our previous kits. Have to say that although this kit looks alright.. The adidas kits were still the best for me. It’s just not the same without those black and white stripes..

Comment #44As with most things “shock of the new”. In this case more like shock of the old. Traditionally over our clubs history there has always been a large element of white in the strip. Later years have seen us tend to use more black. After having seen more of it in pictures I’m now giving it the thumbs up.
I’d actually also think we should have gone all white socks with this one.

Comment #45looks ok but i am not a fan of red emblems or red trim, we are the magpies and they have flashes of blue which looks far better

Comment #46I’m sitting on the fence with this strip. Might wait until I have my own first before I make my mind up.
I agree it does look a bit Juev ey but then thats not a bad thing. As for the Virgin logo it looks better with the white background than it did on our last strip. But then thats just my opnion. If I had to put a percentage on like to dislike I would be 70/30.

Comment #50@42 It’s going to have the names on the back. These kits might have looked a bit out of sync because the names were missing at the friendly. Me though, I’ve got a good imagination, so I think it will look splendid when the names are put back on. 🙂

Comment #51Nah, It’s too much white. I’m not buying this one.
Seeing this shirt, I’m glad i bought last seasons.

Comment #52Greater emphasis on the black rather than the white and we would resemble more our famed traditional strip. Still better than the last burnt offering through. I still wish we played in our stripes away if there is no clash of colours.
