    I just don't like v necks ...never have and never will. I wasn't expecting it so it's left me disappointed as I thought I was going to really like it based on the image mooted.... might look better in better photos, but the back looks dreadful and the material is so wafer thin it hangs on people like a sheet of tracing paper...bad fitting.

    This is a better image mind.. that collar though I just can't not see it... kills it for me.... just my taste sorry....

    Shorts and socks matter too.

    Think it all looks good personally.

    Dunno what people expected, but, as always there has to be negatives with Newcastle right <laugh>

    This is not quite true. Adidas sponsor the club 30m. To make that back they are charging higher prices for strips.

    So indirectly even though the club don’t make much off each strip they do from the flat fee sponsorship.

    The deal with Castore if I recall was no big fee, but Newcastle earned 50% from the sale of the shirt

    It's a marketing and promotional video. It get's done by large companies to whip up interests in their goods.
    In the case of this one it's the renewal of a historic partnership. Historically people used to watch things in black and white, which, as it happens is the same colour of our home strip......hence the clever marketing "twist".

    They have then gone around a number of historic landmarks around the area whilst again adding a more recent "marketing twist" by having players take the piss out of online meme's. Hence the "Isak walking his dog", "Shola riding the bike eating an apple", "Tindall being front and centre in Strawberry", "Keegan rant", "Ketsbaia booting boards".

    I will however state for the record the only thing missing in my view is this historically famous gentleman.

    Hope this clears it up <cheers>

    Maybe it looks better in person. It's not awful, but hardly worth all the hype and money.

    Nothing will make me like any of the training gear. 90s fashion belongs in the bin.

    I thought you'd like v-neck, like me, as they are more slimming. Fat git.

    Not for me ... it's still quite nice the strip.... was saying last week I was fearing the 90s retro approach and unfortunately my fears have come to fruition with all the other stuff.
