Sunderland fans on new strip: ‘As it will look pink from a distance, it will blend in with the empty seats next season…’

I can’t believe that there are still some fans who can’t accept just how low Newcastle have sunk these days – a lack of quality right through the club.

Club directors have claimed that the W**** factor hasn’t put fans off and that this season’s black & white release has been the best selling strip of recent years, anecdotal (with our own eyes) evidence would appear to be at odds with that.

In the case of a football club it looks quite obvious; list the players who will definitely be at Newcastle next season and then pick the ones with the star quality and charisma to model them.

We got Steven Taylor Taylor and Rob Elliot.

In previous seasons we have regularly seen the team wear the new strip on the final day but it will all be a bit bizarre if Newcastle wore their new away strip at home, experience tells you to never say never.

With the likely release of the new home strip only weeks away, an image has surfaced on the internet with claims of being the new strip.

It is black and white and has Wonga on so that ticks a couple of boxes, plus the Puma logo of course.

I wouldn’t be too disappointed if these strips are the real deal as we have had far worse in the past, what do you think?

Many thousands responded to the poll and a huge three quarters of fans said that they loved the shirt, now it is your chance to wear the ‘Burgundy’ (Passport colour!) strip.

Is it a must have for the kids or are they counting the days until the ‘other’ away strip and home one come out?

You decide in our exclusive poll!

Newcastle United fans were left open mouthed today with the launch of the club’s latest change strip, or ‘away’ strip as we used to call them in old money.
