Newcastle United 15/16 Home Shirt Reviewed

Newcastle United launched their home shirt for the 15/16 season.

The Puma home shirt features blue trim on the v-neck and sleeves, and also upon the black stripes. The club's official website suggest the "hint of blue matches the scroll under the Toon Army's crest". Also, the reverse of the shirt is plain in this latest version, missing the iconic black and white stripes. Controversially, an outdated logo of its infamous sponsor is used for the new shirt due to production timing issues, after the payday lender revealed a new logo just hours after the new shirt was debuted.

I find the blue trim blends poorly with the club's iconic black and white stripes, but suspiciously well with the unmentioned sponsors logo. Although our logo is despised by many, surely better planning by the club would have ensured that the latest logo was used! And the missing black and white stripes on the back of the shirt is a further cause of great dismay; while the quality of the shirt is cheapened by the "sticker" badge. Many supporters will buy this shirt out of loyalty to a club close to their heart, but a cynic would suggest the marketing men would have known that.

Too many 'errors' overshadow the design of this shirt, while the changes go against our once proud tradition. My rating = 2/10 (from a Toon fan in protest!)

Its not a bad design Robbie - better than 2/10 and the Leicester one which is close to 6/10.
