Newcastle United fans thrilled by ‘brilliant’ announcement

Newcastle United fans have given a big thumb-up to the club’s newly-released third kit.

Featuring burgundy and navy hoops, the new away kit draws inspiration from Newcastle’s 1995-96 design, a fan favourite widely considered one of the club’s most memorable kits.

The original was worn by the likes of French winger David Ginola, who features in the announcement video created by the club.

Supporters have welcomed the new kit with almost universally appreciative comments following the club’s official statement on social media.

Newcastle United fans love the new away kit

The Tyneside club narrowly missed out on European football last season, finishing just three points behind Chelsea in sixth.

Newcastle fans might enjoy games on the road a lot more this season when witnessing their side playing in this new take on their iconic old kit.
