Newcastle United's new away kit... and the worst football kits ever - mirror.co.uk
If Newcastle’s new away kit is a reflection of their form last season, then it’s absolutely spot on.
This ‘terrible’ new strip, modelled above by Steven Taylor, will make the Toon Army look like a gang of lemon sherbets every time they step out in it next season.
Ive purposely not included the photo of the kit as small children and those with a weak stomach may have found it upsetting.
It's a bit like a photo negative of Hull city.
Won't be seen on prime time much so they should get away with it. :)
It's not that bad.
Sorry to disagree but i think it is. It lookes washed out instaed of the aggressive black and white.
If they look pale and washed out that will give the opposition an edge.
can't see it being used much though. WŁho else plays in magpie colours?
what do you know about football ? :rolleyes:Quote:

Newcastle plumb new depths with shocking 6-1 defeat to Leyton Orient
Newcastle reached a new low on Saturday night as League One side Leyton Orient inflicted a humiliating 6-1 defeat on the Tyneside club at Brisbane Road.
By Cameron Macphail
Published: 9:56PM BST 25 Jul 2009
Orient opened their account after four minutes when Jimmy Smith took advantage of poor marking to head home from Sean Thornton's free kick.
After 23 minutes Habib Beye conceded a penalty for handball and former Sunderland player Thornton converted from the penalty spot.
Midfielder Joey Barton got a goal back for Newcastle from the penalty spot on the half hour but Orient restored their two-goal cushion after half-time when Scott McGleish scored a spectacular overhead kick from the edge of the area.
Tamika Mkandawire made it four before substitutes Ryan Jarvis and Harry Baker compounded Newcastle's humiliation with two late goals.
As Ryan Jarvis hit Orient’s fifth the 1,700 or so Newcastle fans were singing: ‘Stand up if you hate Ashley,’ and ‘There’s only one Alan Shearer.’ The defeat comes with the question of who will manage Newcastle in the Championship next season still up in the air with Alan Shearer still thought to have his eyes on the role.
Beleaguered caretaker manager Chris Hughton said after the match: "We didn’t win and we didn’t perform. There are ups and downs in football and this was very much a down."
He added: "This is a loss in a pre-season programme that has gone well so far.
"It's what we expect in a pre-season period. Come August 8th, this group of lads will be all right. I'm happy with these players."
Newcastle defender Jose Enrique said: "The situation is bad in the club but that was no excuse."
The defeat follows Newcastle's 1-0 win at Huddersfield Town which ended in a 20-man brawl including players and coaches.

Good old Mike Ashley. They start winning games, the fans are getting used to life in The Championship then BOOM, he does it again.
BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | N | Newcastle | Newcastle reveal new stadium name
Newcastle United have announced their intention to call their stadium the sportsdirect.com [at] St James' Park Stadium for the immediate future.
The news comes after an announcement from owner Mike Ashley that the stadium sponsorship rights were up for offer from prospective businesses.
Managing director Derek Llambias told BBC Newcastle: "We will showcase Sports Direct until the end of the season.
"I'm sure we're going to get a sponsor in for next season."
Ashley angered supporters of Newcastle United late last month when he announced the club's plans to rename the stadium for commercial purposes, having taken them off the market.
And Llambias admitted the club could have dealt with the announcement better, but is confident the plans are in the best interests of Newcastle United.
"We could have worded it better, and that's why we came out yesterday to explain what we're trying to achieve," he said.
"With the renaming it was always going to be whatever brand it was, at St James' Park. For the remainder of this season, we already have sportsdirect.com on the Gallowgate so we'd like to take that branding through the rest of the stadium."
And Llambias was also keen to express that the existing St James' Park name was to stay a feature of the site, and believes supporters will see a tangible impact if the scheme is a success in the future.
"In our reign, absolutely, it's just adding to it," he added. "If it brings in a good chunk of money to the club, that goes straight to the team, it's a revenue we should look at."
The blokes a genius
