Really? Go back through this thread and there are plenty of references to the standard yoke that Nike have put across their kits this season which is also on this kit.

Imagine being the last club in the PL to release your kit* and it being an utter abomination 
* still not officially obvs, kick off is still 2 weeks away.

Taking a step back, it's obvious that someone at the club thinks we need radical changes to the home kit each season to differentiate them and increase sales.
Personally, I think switching the predominant colour/shorts between blue and white, changing the width of the stripes, collar design and tweaking the trim slightly should be quite enough to play with when designing a home shirt. That's way more variables than, say, Arsenal.
Feels like we've had quite a few controversial features over the past few years - the blue dog collar, the all-blue kit, the 'bib' effect, the patchwork look, and now a yellow streak. Plus the weird gradient stripes (not too bad, I guess) and struck on sponsor, of course.
Can we try simple and classy please?
(I'm probably asking for Adidas here, aren't I?)

What match was that photo taken in?

I’m liking it, especially if the Amex becomes a fortress wearing it, plus it’s probably more fat ******* friendly, which works for me

It's all about parting the gullible from their 55 quid or whatever. If enough folks just said nah, that kit would be half price or less in the January sales, and rightly so

I'd rather just recycle last season's than have this leaked one, an utter horror show in every way.
The club can easily disguise poor sales. It's very, VERY conservative when ordering stock (and one of very few top teams in the country which doesn't reduce prices from March/April).

What makes you think it was taken in a match? I don’t think it’s even a photo.

You saying that reminded me that although i have often seen training gear and warm up tops etc in various sales online and at the shop i have never seen home or away matchday kit at reduced prices . I have always assumed that they do not do this even if they have excess stock so as not to undermine future demand or because they have an agreement with the manufacturers not to do so .

Blimey. That is awful. It's so awful that I don't think my son will want it!

Surely no one sane would sign off on that?
Not only has it got that stupid H look that newcastles kit had last season it's got....well, everyone can see what else it's got.
I reckon that is a piss take and isn't the real kit.

If that is this years kit I'd respectfully suggest to the club that they go even more conservative when ordering for this season. To the point of not even bothering.

Think it is very likely to be the real thing (why would an official partner of the EPL like Panini put a fake kit on their stickers? Let alone what looks like a complete product).
Im not a fan of the piss dribble to be honest. Thankfully kits don't really matter in the broad scheme of things and can choose to buy/not buy. Im quite happy with my hyperturq for the foreseeable.
What happens if the people that traded in their old shirts for the new one don't like the new home kit?

I'm guessing Nike has a say in that, as they get at least 90% of the profits from the sales and perhaps don't want clubs to publicly "sort-of" announce that their shirts are unsellable so they have to lower the prices.

If that is the new kit, it’s pretty horrible.
Not that I’d buy one, but still.
I’d like to see a mock up of that new kit, but switch all the yellow bits to white inc sleeves and neck.

Found these on Twitter, kind of what you’re talking about. Looks a damn sight better than that yellow stained monstrosity.
