    new uniforms are cool, but does anyone else resent how new kits come out so often?? clubs know if you're a loyal fan, you'll probably buy the new kit...that's good business i guess. on the other hand, the clubs are certainly taking advantage of the fans' loyalty.

    as mentioned by others, adidas has used some blue in previous Newcaslte kits (I think it was one of the first after they changed to adidas).


    The thing that is most interesting about the release is the timing, typically clubs wait until the summer before starting to introduce the new kits. I wonder what motivated the early timing?

    well... it's a nice enough marketing idea idea i guess, but still.. it's newcastle, and it's going to be some form of black and white stripes.

    b.cheng - the last couple of kits have been released before the end of the season. teams get special permission to wear them in the final game as a 'preview'. dumb idea if you ask me, but nevermind.


    anon - home kits are changed every 2 seasons. the change kits change every year, which is definitely too frequent in my opinion. but people still buy them, so they keep doing it....
