All okay to take the money, expensive players, new training ground, new jobs surrounding the club but can't make a secondary kit green & white. Request you all to not give it any wind.
@@TynesideLife The ones who were not supportive, should try to put themselves in PIF's shoes. They want to do good on all sectors but at the same time they are net here for charity.

This is now confirmed as our THIRD kit? Every other site has it as our second (away) kit. Me I have grown to love it, and predict it will be our best selling away kit ever because of all the free publicity.
The third strip looks quite nice and as someone who has lived and worked in the Middle East, Bahrain and Saudi, I find some criticism to be a little bit hypocritical. Yes there are some aspects of their society and governance that I am uncomfortable with, their attitude towards women and other religious and ethnic groups being the uppermost. However, we should always remember it is their country and culture and who are we to tell them what to do and how to live. Colonialism has ended and despite the Americans thinking they can tell the world what to do, whilst usually doing the complete opposite themselves, most logically thinking people agree with self determination and the running of your country how you and the majority of the citizens want not as others say you should. That being said the sponsor could be an area of controversy, many people were not keen on a gambling company sponsoring the shirt, many would not want Playboy or PornHub to sponsor the shirt, obviously as Muslims an alcohol company cannot be a sponsor, if the sponsor is too closely tied to the government/state that will be a problem and could cause issues with the Premier League Rules. Although again it seems that double standards are being applied Man City's sponsor is a State owned Airline, as is Arsenal's main sponsor, Chelsea and Everton have connections to dubious Russian money all have been investigated for breeches of the fair play and financial accounting rules. If the owner cannot sponsor the club how do they get away with it? TBH the new owners are a breath of fresh air and obviously have the best interests of the club in mind, they are not going to do something that will bring the club into disrepute, nor do anything stupid that would alienate the fans such as change the Stadium name! So finally YES I think I would buy the third strip depending on the sponsor the colour scheme looks appealing.
Great to see all the different shirt on the fans in this video 🙂 My opinion on the shirt is it brings the Saudi fans together with the newcastle fans sort of a connection We wanted the bar changed back to shearers bar .. they done it for us They moved the shearer statue for us They have done things for the geordie fans n the new shirt is a thing for the Saudi fans ad buy the shirt 100 % A trust are owners and what they are doing n it's all for the better of the club n the fans fair play to them along as the home shirt is always black n white the other kits imo can be any colour n style they want 😊
@Adam Burgess Well as a someone who worked there with many others from the North East you have that captive market as many are still there also the Local people will be more interested in NUFC now that there is a connection with their country. As one Saudi Fan said in the video you could probably sell a million shirts in Saudi and that is big money.
@Adam Burgess What has Qatar 22 got to do with NUFC being owned by a Private Investment Company that just happens to derive most of it income from the sale of oil of the state they are registered in as an investment vehicle for the future when oil is no longer the main income for that country. Whether we like it or not the decision was made to give the World Cup first to Russia and then to Qatar, if you have a beef then it should be with FIFA not the Saudi investment company that is now NUFC owners, They didn't bribe officials to get the club which is still highly suspected in the two bids that won the World Cup.

@@TynesideLife some people need to give their head a shake then. It's a football kit, so long as its not red and white stripes I think anything is fair.
Disagree with you with most of what you say on this one Eddy, but agree with some parts. Absolutely no issues with sponsorship or the 3rd kit. I will be buying home and the potential new 3rd top. We now have fantastic, ambitious owners who are going to make us one of the biggest and best clubs over the next few years. I think it's a nice touch to welcome our new Geordie Arabia fan base and make them feel part of the Toon Army family. Just my humble opinion.
I had to come back as Castore has appeared to Cock up the kit announcement, I mean Twitter is mental at the moment with this. What's your opinion on it?
A lot of people are unhappy with Castore in deleting an Instagram post yesterday saying the home kit will be available for pre order today at 10am but it hasn't been shown yet I think it shows a lack of professionalism I my opinion
I like it...reminds me of my old fav club's colors, Ferencvaros 😁 With so many people on Earth it's impossible to please everybody at once...The thing that really matters is Newcastle to have a good season in the Epl and aim for some trophies in the future!! ;)
I really hate the ideaes that people have about Saudi Arabia it's not true just not true come on guys you have brains and you have phones just do your research from different source or come to Saudi Arabia and see your self simple as that to be honest Am Going start to care less about people that already made up their mind we will continue to grow if you wanna join us so be it if not we're not gonna kiss your ass to like as simple as that and about the kit we want to be a part of Newcastle United we want to wear that shirt and be proud of this club let's be together we get it about The club and the city and we Love it 😊
The strip actually looks great. Whilst I note your concerns about Aramco and the noddies of Extinction Rebellion, do you actually think they'll be brave enough to face blocking football fans from accessing the ground?
Yep. Remember, one lad zip locked himself to a goal post at Everton in protest against oil. I think you underestimate their motivations and will to disrupt bud. Anyway, for the reasons I mentioned, it’s unlikely Aramco would be allowed to sponsor the club anyway from my understanding
@@QuietManUK let’s say 30 protesters simultaneously zip lock or glue themselves to turnstiles. In front of police and CCTV cameras, can you talk me through what fans would do that wouldn’t cause carnage and a significant delay to the KO
@@QuietManUK a few months ago I attended a XR Event to film a video. You definitely underestimate the lengths they will go to and the amount of planning involved. I’m not suggesting this would definitely happen but it is well within their capabilities snd a real possibility. Again I stress though, for business FPP reasons, I can’t see that sponsorship happening anyway. Thanks for reaching out with your views 👍🏻
Definitely buy the second shirt looks really good to me it's not identical to the Saudi national strip just the colours are the same but we have had green kits before
Nice one Eddy, I haven't bought a strip for years but the strip looks cool ,would defo wear one for my hols.Saudi golf on the front or similar ,job done.Like the Irish lad said what's the big deal.Another nice vlog Eddy.
3:38 I relate to the big guy, Castore’s sizing is mental, I’m average build but like my shirts quite baggy, had to go 4XL this season which is like an Adidas 2XL 😂
Anyone who says the Saudis shouldn't influence the club shouldn't allowed to support the players they pay for. Of course we should allow a 3rd kit to be any colour they want it to be. They'll sell and it's all more cash for the club
@@TynesideLife no problem with anyone having an opinion, but I draw the line at hypocrisy. If any NUFC fan whines about the kit but cheers at the big signings then they need knocked down a peg. That's all I'm saying.
its a 3rd kit so will barely get a look in. A lot of Saudis might buy it so good on them. looks a lot better than some other 3rd kit options in the past
I don’t mind the kit at all, with what they’re gonna bring to the club, it seems like a really small issue to me. I’m sure it will be really good for business on that side of the world too. The American lad had a good point though - about the club not meant to be state owned, and now we’re gonna have a shirt in that looks exactly like that states national team 😁
Great video again Eddy, aye congrats Sean, I like the 3rd kit, after black n white, green is me next favourite and as far as how much £££ we will spend, who knows, it will not be under £100mill, we need to catch up with top 10, so I suspect £150mill....fingers crossed
Hi Eddy, interesting video and food for thought. For me, I agree with the Irish lads that it's no big deal. NUFC has now got the dark days of Ashley behind them and has to look forward to new and exciting times ahead. The club can't afford to get bogged down with the running of this world. Football is their business and that's where it should stay. Looking forward to great football to come 22/23. Thanks again, Richard the Manc.
I'd understand the negativity if it was red and white 😂 however the away shirt will work wonders over in Saudi Arabia by attracting a new generation of supporters and will bring more revenue into the club.
All the negativity, I actually think this will engage more people in Saudi Arabia with NUFC and perhaps open them up to our more liberal culture, that's the other aspect of this that so many media commentators are ignoring amongst all the angst about sportswashing, it may take time but perhaps NUFC being owned by PIF may help change some attitudes in Saudi Arabia.
Great video Eddie. A few opinions. It's not possible these days to seperate the sport from the politics. PIF have shares in Disney, Facebook, BP and now Nintendo so the term 'sportswashing' is ridiculous since the UK government has billion pound arms deals with the middle East. I see the business sense inmaking the third white strip and I like it but probably don't need to buy it. Lastly I highly doubt we would be sponsored by the oil and gas company. ( even though the champions league is sponsored by Gazprom )
I Think the 3rd strip is marketed towards the middle East market to promote Newcastle United to Arabian fans....since Manchester city, Liverpool and Chelsea are also known marketing brands...it's a commercial move...to get middle East football fans familiar with Newcastle as everyone knows Liverpool, Manchester United and city as well as Chelsea
It shouldn't be seen as such a big deal we are owned by Saudis, I only buy retro kits these days so I won't be buying it but i have no problem with it whatsoever I highly doubt its gonna be green and white every season
Just because it's white and green? Who cares? The pitch is green and white, previous kits have been green and white. Also I think it'll be the away kit not the third kit. Would make more sense to me
The only thing that's controversial in my opinion is the British press shit stirring trouble for the club. We're owned by the Saudi 's and if people don't like it, that's their right. I don't mind the shirt and if it's priced correctly, I might buy it
انا من السعودية 🇸🇦 وطني جعلتني أشجع نادي نيوكاسل يونايتد والطقم الثالثة يعبر عن فرحت السعودية عن الاستحواذ والان نحن المركز الثالث 🥉 اول سنة أشجع نيوكاسل هيأ نمضي قدمًا 🎉 احبكم من السعودية 🇸🇦
I think you misunderstand. If they planned a tactic of simultaneously gluing themselves to turnstiles, there’s nothing 50k fans could do about it. The club security and police would need to intervene and there would be significant delays to the match.
I think NUFC needs to try to stay far away from controversy in these early years as much as possible because of the way and the amount of resistance to the take over itself. People are going to be looking for anything to throw at us so we should do our best to give them as little as possible. I dont have a problem with the shirt but it would have been better next year or the year after once all this human rights stuff settles down. It will sell well in Saudi but we won't see the benefits of those sales numbers until next summer at the earliest. Stop trying to poke the bear.
@@TynesideLife under the new take over and Howe also to the players I’m just giving back to the club to say a massive thank you… they have all made us believe again
Hi Eddie,love your stuff and this was brave.We all want success but at what price.I'm just an old punk and would appreciate some advice with starting my own you tube channel.Jona from Starvanger got it SPOT ON btw
A good idea to get differing opinions from a world perspective, my two bobs worth from down under, as long as it looks predominantly like a Toon shirt, I have no problem. It does seem that we seem to get a lot more stick than other clubs with foreign ownership!
Great marketing technique to get the Saudi Arabian public on board which in return will boost our revenue going forward so it's a win win situation regardless what others think because you're always going to get people especially media that try to spoil it for everyone. I'd understand all this negativity if it was red and white 🤮
Bearing in mind the larger picture is Saudis Vision 2030 project, which our club are a part of (not the other way around). Boosting shirt sales in Saudi not only boosts our spending power, but more importantly for them, raises interest and generates economic revenue streams as part of their wider initiative 👍🏻
@@TynesideLife they were But i wonder if some of the saudi owned businesses ( as such ) are also one company just different brands ?. There's always a way when it comes to money and business that's for sure.
@@joinmeonthedarkside2 now that’s different… Mcewans was brewed by the main sponsor so it wasn’t really a different sponsor. We’ll just have to see I suppose about our new sponsors 😃
Love the difference between Adam Pearson and yourself I watch both channels and find both are the best around at the minute. Also I will buy the Saudi looking kit just because of all the bad press it's just a shirt in my eyes and I like it and most this hype about it has been crested by one thing the media as usual
Mungo Jerry sideburners are now going retro on Eddy's channel 😁👍 Great marketing idea and superb shirt to get the Human Rights hypocrites knickers' in a twist 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
Good video,wide range of views, personally,im from Newcastle and now live Bangkok,I and others Newcastle supporters here don't see what the controversy is, OK yes it looks similar to the Saudi shirt, but to be honest how many times is it going to be used,as the 3rd shirt, could be good sales pitch, in Saudi, on business,Im OK with it!!
@@TynesideLife city fans say United fans from Salford aren't from Manchester and I was born 2 miles from old Trafford , is Gateshead on that same level to Newcastle?
@@davek834 It’s my understanding though that Manchester United had it’s origins in Oldham and only later moved to Old Trafford in Manchester? Is that tight? Gateshead isn’t seen the same as Gateshead aren’t a rival club. Gateshead and the general Tyneside area are Geordies however, but there are also some regionalised nicknames like ‘Tynesiders’ too.
I absolutely love the shirt? And will be buying that shirt, for what I like about it. And if people don’t like the shirt or sponsor don’t get it or buy the shirt without the sponsor on
Saying all that, i do think we should take the conversation and never avoid the topic, we should talk about it, and if the saudis do something i will be openly against it, even as Newcastle United fan myself
Eddie I watch all your videos m8 and to me ppl will winge about anything, so whoever has a problem with a green and whyte kit (3rd kit) must have a boring life, triggered by a strip, its obvious the Saudis would have an influence considering that they bought the club, I DONT GIVE A F*#K 😴, how and why do ppl moan about the strip and owners but will still go to games 🤔 so if ya don't like it go support scumderland
@@TynesideLife kind ov is tho m8 because if the green was red blue black or whatever there wouldn't be an issue imo 👍 all because it has green bits don't think any 1 would say anything if it was an all whyte strip it's all about that green bit
@@thebigrighthand7728 the issue (to some) is the almost identical nature and design to the Saudi national shirt. It’s not the colours per sae. If the Saudi kit was red trim, it would be the same issue 👍🏻
It's funny people had no problem with the umpteen betting companies on the front of shirts before now, the Russian oil money, the middle Eastern oil money in the rest of the Premier League. Let's not forget that it is only in people's minds that this was a club intending to replicate the Saudi home shirt the club have never said as much. Anyway I definitely plan on buying every shirt just.... to piss them off. Let's just think of the positive things that the ownership have done since they came in, living wage increases for all staff, they girls teams getting more investment e.t.c.
Hi eddie all good points some for some against personaly i wouldnt buy it its the mags for a reason the black and white i like the home not sure about the blue but not green and white but if thats what the owners want what can you do, great video HWTL
It's a nicely designed kit and I can say as a toon fan, we're all trying to see it as just that. But this kit clearly adopts the Saudi colours and especially this early into the new era, that is wrong for me. Yes it may be a marketing move to increase overseas revenue for NUFC, but it's just bringing more negative attention to the club and our ownership which we should be trying to distance ourselves from - not lean into. Just my opinion though!
Life is about compromise, is it really that controversial. How many shirts have betting/ gambling companies on them and how many peoples lives are affected by these companies!
They need to mate...so they can spend on good signings...understand how ffp works mate...and don't become like those united fans...who cry about everytjing n anything
Everyone should get use to the increased and intense scrutiny that everything the Toon does, this was inevitable, every chance for them to use the term " sports washing" will be rolled out, you have a choice if you don't like it or disagree don't buy it, no one is forcing anyone to get one or support the toon if they find the SA regime abhorrent. The hypocrisy surrounding this takeover is off the scale when you see the numerous businesses around the world PIF are involved with from Social Media, Disney, other sports and its closeness not only to the UK Government but the Royal Family. I personally would not purchase the second or 3rd strip's. The club because of ownership will be keeping legions of the chattering classes busily occupied with righteous indignation, its their right to complain, give an opinion its also our right to support our team, even if some of us may have certain reservations, PSG are owned by QATAR nothing more to add.
The UK are also part of that ‘terror funding’ with arms sales. Not to mention us invading Iraq for no good reason and plunging it into the stone age. The Saudi PIF also fund Facebook, Disney, Starbucks, Marriott and a whole plethora of other companies. We’re all up to our necks in Saudi money Dee 🤷🏻♂️
Whats wrong with having a similarity with the colours on 3rd kit , its just a celebration of the connection , saudi is trying to slowly become more integrated into the wider world . The culture of europe was similar to the mid east a few hundred years ago in terms of its restrictions on liberty etc , countries evolve at different eras .. religion completely controlled uk and europe back then . The point its blood money isnt correct its petro dollars , same style of wealth as rockerfellers and getty , love from a spurs fan ,
I gave up my ST because of that cockney bloke, chose not to try to get another because of the KSA connection. I actually refused to go there for work because I have principles, mind you, its easy to have those principles when you have a bit of cash behind you. Might not have been so principled if I still had a mortgage :) but to be fair I could still have lost my job. Anyway, just my opinion but I wont be back anytime soon.
We're a business and we need to make more money legitimately in order to spend more money legitimately. This shirt is targeted to the middle east, absolutely and lets not deny that but lets not deny the amount of legitimate money we can get from these shirt sales in a market which is probably untouched. This sort of practice has been seen in football before, Ji Sung Park for Man utd in the far east to drum up interest and sell shirts. If we want to make more, to buy more, to become more successful, we'll have to do this level of business. Sh*tty but clever.
first of all, thank you Eddie for all the content for me a have to say a won't be buying the new toon top hate the white and green colours we all know why and what it stands for and fair play to them trying to cash in where they can but feels a little wrong in the sense of what does this top stand for is it Newcastle or Saudi Arabia 🤔

Isn't the third kit blue with yellow flashing as I understand the Ireland away kit is our second strip
Could be 🤷🏻♂️ semantics though…
I've heard the blue and yellow kit could be a keeper kit
Spot on Eddie, you hit the nail on the head mate
Cheers Rob 👍🏻
Disagree with you with most of what you say on this one Eddy, but agree with some parts. Absolutely no issues with sponsorship or the 3rd kit. I will be buying home and the potential new 3rd top. We now have fantastic, ambitious owners who are going to make us one of the biggest and best clubs over the next few years. I think it's a nice touch to welcome our new Geordie Arabia fan base and make them feel part of the Toon Army family. Just my humble opinion.
Not sure what you’re disagreeing with Paul?
I had to come back as Castore has appeared to Cock up the kit announcement, I mean Twitter is mental at the moment with this. What's your opinion on it?
Opinion on what bud?
A lot of people are unhappy with Castore in deleting an Instagram post yesterday saying the home kit will be available for pre order today at 10am but it hasn't been shown yet I think it shows a lack of professionalism I my opinion
@@JoshuaBLMain I share your view. Just seems like a professional faux pas
I like it...reminds me of my old fav club's colors, Ferencvaros 😁 With so many people on Earth it's impossible to please everybody at once...The thing that really matters is Newcastle to have a good season in the Epl and aim for some trophies in the future!! ;)
🤜🏻
I really hate the ideaes that people have about Saudi Arabia it's not true just not true come on guys you have brains and you have phones just do your research from different source or come to Saudi Arabia and see your self simple as that to be honest Am Going start to care less about people that already made up their mind we will continue to grow if you wanna join us so be it if not we're not gonna kiss your ass to like as simple as that and about the kit we want to be a part of Newcastle United we want to wear that shirt and be proud of this club let's be together we get it about The club and the city and we Love it 😊
I agree with you mate 👍🏻
@@TynesideLife I like your contact and you are reasonable guy and fair and entertainment🌹
I was down Burnley last week & to be honest i've never heard so many people would buy a new shirt just to put two fingers up to the rest of football.
I think it’ll be a popular sell 👍🏻
The strip actually looks great. Whilst I note your concerns about Aramco and the noddies of Extinction Rebellion, do you actually think they'll be brave enough to face blocking football fans from accessing the ground?
Yep. Remember, one lad zip locked himself to a goal post at Everton in protest against oil. I think you underestimate their motivations and will to disrupt bud.
Anyway, for the reasons I mentioned, it’s unlikely Aramco would be allowed to sponsor the club anyway from my understanding
@@TynesideLife he did, but that was away from the fans.
@@QuietManUK let’s say 30 protesters simultaneously zip lock or glue themselves to turnstiles. In front of police and CCTV cameras, can you talk me through what fans would do that wouldn’t cause carnage and a significant delay to the KO
@@TynesideLife I suspect the protesters would never ever try it again, assuming the police can’t get there first.
@@QuietManUK a few months ago I attended a XR Event to film a video. You definitely underestimate the lengths they will go to and the amount of planning involved.
I’m not suggesting this would definitely happen but it is well within their capabilities snd a real possibility.
Again I stress though, for business FPP reasons, I can’t see that sponsorship happening anyway.
Thanks for reaching out with your views 👍🏻
Definitely buy the second shirt looks really good to me it's not identical to the Saudi national strip just the colours are the same but we have had green kits before
It’s ‘almost’ identical which is why there’s the controversy but I do understand their marketing strategy 👍🏻
Nice one Eddy, I haven't bought a strip for years but the strip looks cool ,would defo wear one for my hols.Saudi golf on the front or similar ,job done.Like the Irish lad said what's the big deal.Another nice vlog Eddy.
Thanks Raymond 🤜🏻
3:38 I relate to the big guy, Castore’s sizing is mental, I’m average build but like my shirts quite baggy, had to go 4XL this season which is like an Adidas 2XL 😂
😆
Anyone who says the Saudis shouldn't influence the club shouldn't allowed to support the players they pay for. Of course we should allow a 3rd kit to be any colour they want it to be. They'll sell and it's all more cash for the club
People have differing views. We may not all agree but we should respect their right to express an opinion 👍🏻
@@TynesideLife no problem with anyone having an opinion, but I draw the line at hypocrisy. If any NUFC fan whines about the kit but cheers at the big signings then they need knocked down a peg. That's all I'm saying.
Its alright, it reminds me a bit of old Celtic kit i had as a kid, i think Newcastle has played in green before also
👍🏻
I'd like to see more then one main sponsor on the kit, the third kit looks nice I'll wear it.
I don’t think it works like that Benjamin
aramco stands for arabamerican oil . so for the critics it is pots and kettles .
Personally I don’t care what it stands for. I don’t want an oil company sponsoring the club and the additional grief it will undoubtedly bring
I wonder if castore will get the contract for the Saudi national team now ?
Haha!
Love it....buying it!
👍🏻
its a 3rd kit so will barely get a look in. A lot of Saudis might buy it so good on them. looks a lot better than some other 3rd kit options in the past
👍🏻
I don’t mind the kit at all, with what they’re gonna bring to the club, it seems like a really small issue to me. I’m sure it will be really good for business on that side of the world too.
The American lad had a good point though - about the club not meant to be state owned, and now we’re gonna have a shirt in that looks exactly like that states national team 😁
Yeah he made a valid point and well thought out 👍🏻
Great video again Eddy, aye congrats Sean, I like the 3rd kit, after black n white, green is me next favourite and as far as how much £££ we will spend, who knows, it will not be under £100mill, we need to catch up with top 10, so I suspect £150mill....fingers crossed
Cheers Ant 👍🏻 depends on how much we raise in sales but around £100 £120m.
Remember they need to appoint Dan Ashworth before they start splashing out
Looks more like the Algeria strip than the Saudi 1
I’ve provided a photo of the Saudi strip in the video and they’re almost identical 👍🏻
From 2020
Hi Eddy, interesting video and food for thought. For me, I agree with the Irish lads that it's no big deal.
NUFC has now got the dark days of Ashley behind them and has to look forward to new and exciting times ahead.
The club can't afford to get bogged down with the running of this world. Football is their business and that's where it should stay.
Looking forward to great football to come 22/23.
Thanks again, Richard the Manc.
Great message cheers Richard 🤜🏻
I'd understand the negativity if it was red and white 😂 however the away shirt will work wonders over in Saudi Arabia by attracting a new generation of supporters and will bring more revenue into the club.
I raised that point in the video. It’s an excellent marketing strategy 👍🏻
All the negativity, I actually think this will engage more people in Saudi Arabia with NUFC and perhaps open them up to our more liberal culture, that's the other aspect of this that so many media commentators are ignoring amongst all the angst about sportswashing, it may take time but perhaps NUFC being owned by PIF may help change some attitudes in Saudi Arabia.
And some of our attitudes change too because there’s some aspects of our society that is unhelpful too… 👍🏻
Great video Eddie.
A few opinions.
It's not possible these days to seperate the sport from the politics. PIF have shares in Disney, Facebook, BP and now Nintendo so the term 'sportswashing' is ridiculous since the UK government has billion pound arms deals with the middle East. I see the business sense inmaking the third white strip and I like it but probably don't need to buy it.
Lastly I highly doubt we would be sponsored by the oil and gas company.
( even though the champions league is sponsored by Gazprom )
Great balanced comments Henry 👍🏻 I did a separate video on the wider geopolitics of the situation and agree with your sentiments 👍🏻
I Think the 3rd strip is marketed towards the middle East market to promote Newcastle United to Arabian fans....since Manchester city, Liverpool and Chelsea are also known marketing brands...it's a commercial move...to get middle East football fans familiar with Newcastle as everyone knows Liverpool, Manchester United and city as well as Chelsea
👍🏻
A like the kit be interesting if they use green lettering and numbers it's bit of a change
I think they will 👍🏻
It shouldn't be seen as such a big deal we are owned by Saudis, I only buy retro kits these days so I won't be buying it but i have no problem with it whatsoever I highly doubt its gonna be green and white every season
👍🏻
Just because it's white and green? Who cares? The pitch is green and white, previous kits have been green and white. Also I think it'll be the away kit not the third kit. Would make more sense to me
It’s not because it’s white and green bud
ide buy it i think its mint and looks nice.anything that the club bring out ill buy, they saved my club.
👍🏻
Love it
🤜🏻
This looks like the hebburn side of the tyne :)
That’s right bud 👍🏻
The only thing that's controversial in my opinion is the British press shit stirring trouble for the club. We're owned by the Saudi 's and if people don't like it, that's their right. I don't mind the shirt and if it's priced correctly, I might buy it
👍🏻
So the Brazil kit we used to wear was controversial
Why was it controversial?
NEOM the closest sponsor imo
Good shout 👍🏻

Can you imagine extinction rebellion trying to stop 50,000 toon fans from getting in, 😂😂😂😂
I think you misunderstand. If they planned a tactic of simultaneously gluing themselves to turnstiles, there’s nothing 50k fans could do about it.
The club security and police would need to intervene and there would be significant delays to the match.
I'm buying all 3 kits....truth be told I'd love them to incorporate the Angel of the North in the strip
Having a Gateshead landmark on a Newcastle football shirt. Double controversy 😅
I recognise that location, i walk it many a day
I thought I seen you hiding in the trees Paula 😆
@@TynesideLife 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing wrong with the shirt if they don't like it don't buy it and take there criticism elsewhere
👍🏻
I think NUFC needs to try to stay far away from controversy in these early years as much as possible because of the way and the amount of resistance to the take over itself. People are going to be looking for anything to throw at us so we should do our best to give them as little as possible. I dont have a problem with the shirt but it would have been better next year or the year after once all this human rights stuff settles down. It will sell well in Saudi but we won't see the benefits of those sales numbers until next summer at the earliest. Stop trying to poke the bear.

I’ll buy all 3 kits it puts profit into the club

A good idea to get differing opinions from a world perspective, my two bobs worth from down under, as long as it looks predominantly like a Toon shirt, I have no problem. It does seem that we seem to get a lot more stick than other clubs with foreign ownership!
👍🏻
Great marketing technique to get the Saudi Arabian public on board which in return will boost our revenue going forward so it's a win win situation regardless what others think because you're always going to get people especially media that try to spoil it for everyone. I'd understand all this negativity if it was red and white 🤮
Bearing in mind the larger picture is Saudis Vision 2030 project, which our club are a part of (not the other way around). Boosting shirt sales in Saudi not only boosts our spending power, but more importantly for them, raises interest and generates economic revenue streams as part of their wider initiative 👍🏻
It's a nice looking shirt and I've seen alot uglier 2nd and 3rd kits down the decades. I don't mind that it looks like the Saudi national team.

@@davek834 It’s my understanding though that Manchester United had it’s origins in Oldham and only later moved to Old Trafford in Manchester? Is that tight?
Gateshead isn’t seen the same as Gateshead aren’t a rival club. Gateshead and the general Tyneside area are Geordies however, but there are also some regionalised nicknames like ‘Tynesiders’ too.
I absolutely love the shirt? And will be buying that shirt, for what I like about it. And if people don’t like the shirt or sponsor don’t get it or buy the shirt without the sponsor on
I’m pretty sure you can’t buy a shirt without the sponsor on. And if you nnii or w where you can, please share 👍🏻
Saying all that, i do think we should take the conversation and never avoid the topic, we should talk about it, and if the saudis do something i will be openly against it, even as Newcastle United fan myself
Talking is good. 👍🏻 Too many fans trying to shut the conversation down IMO

@@TynesideLife personally iv no issue it's a strip and a very good talking point 👌 👍
It's funny people had no problem with the umpteen betting companies on the front of shirts before now, the Russian oil money, the middle Eastern oil money in the rest of the Premier League. Let's not forget that it is only in people's minds that this was a club intending to replicate the Saudi home shirt the club have never said as much. Anyway I definitely plan on buying every shirt just.... to piss them off.
Let's just think of the positive things that the ownership have done since they came in, living wage increases for all staff, they girls teams getting more investment e.t.c.
I don’t understand the context of your comment Adam? You’ll need to elaborate 👍🏻
Hi eddie all good points some for some against personaly i wouldnt buy it its the mags for a reason the black and white i like the home not sure about the blue but not green and white but if thats what the owners want what can you do, great video HWTL
Balanced comment cheers Graham 👍🏻
Like the home shirt , hate the blue shirt ,don't mind the white one but I can't see us wearing it . Much prefer the current black one
👍🏻
It's a nicely designed kit and I can say as a toon fan, we're all trying to see it as just that. But this kit clearly adopts the Saudi colours and especially this early into the new era, that is wrong for me. Yes it may be a marketing move to increase overseas revenue for NUFC, but it's just bringing more negative attention to the club and our ownership which we should be trying to distance ourselves from - not lean into. Just my opinion though!
Thanks for your balanced view Jack 👍🏻
Life is about compromise, is it really that controversial. How many shirts have betting/ gambling companies on them and how many peoples lives are affected by these companies!

I don’t understand where the second part of your comment comes from bud?
hes not exactly crying about anything at all , just getting peoples views and opinions on it ?
Everyone should get use to the increased and intense scrutiny that everything the Toon does, this was inevitable, every chance for them to use the term " sports washing" will be rolled out, you have a choice if you don't like it or disagree don't buy it, no one is forcing anyone to get one or support the toon if they find the SA regime abhorrent. The hypocrisy surrounding this takeover is off the scale when you see the numerous businesses around the world PIF are involved with from Social Media, Disney, other sports and its closeness not only to the UK Government but the Royal Family. I personally would not purchase the second or 3rd strip's. The club because of ownership will be keeping legions of the chattering classes busily occupied with righteous indignation, its their right to complain, give an opinion its also our right to support our team, even if some of us may have certain reservations, PSG are owned by QATAR nothing more to add.
Great message David 👍🏻
"We want your money not your influence" the kit being the issue, not their human rights abuse or terror funding 🙄
The UK are also part of that ‘terror funding’ with arms sales. Not to mention us invading Iraq for no good reason and plunging it into the stone age.
The Saudi PIF also fund Facebook, Disney, Starbucks, Marriott and a whole plethora of other companies.
We’re all up to our necks in Saudi money Dee 🤷🏻♂️
Whats wrong with having a similarity with the colours on 3rd kit , its just a celebration of the connection , saudi is trying to slowly become more integrated into the wider world . The culture of europe was similar to the mid east a few hundred years ago in terms of its restrictions on liberty etc , countries evolve at different eras .. religion completely controlled uk and europe back then . The point its blood money isnt correct its petro dollars , same style of wealth as rockerfellers and getty , love from a spurs fan ,

We're a business and we need to make more money legitimately in order to spend more money legitimately. This shirt is targeted to the middle east, absolutely and lets not deny that but lets not deny the amount of legitimate money we can get from these shirt sales in a market which is probably untouched. This sort of practice has been seen in football before, Ji Sung Park for Man utd in the far east to drum up interest and sell shirts. If we want to make more, to buy more, to become more successful, we'll have to do this level of business. Sh*tty but clever.
I agree ☝️
first of all, thank you Eddie for all the content for me a have to say a won't be buying the new toon top hate the white and green colours we all know why and what it stands for and fair play to them trying to cash in where they can but feels a little wrong in the sense of what does this top stand for is it Newcastle or Saudi Arabia 🤔
