That poster just like the shirt is marketing at it's most shameless. Let's use the likeness of Les Ferdinand from of course the team of entertainers that thrilled us as supporters, an era the current regime have been vital in distancing us from. The man that put together that team (KEEGAN !!) was treated like absolute dirt by and caused a brief uncomfortable murmur for the owner so let's use the statue of Sir Bobby, a knight of the realm no-less. From another era of entertainment, that again the current regime have nothing to do with. A man of class and dignity who just happens to be very much in the public eye because it's the World Cup and there will be clips of him on both mainstream channels at every conceivable opportunity. As well as featuring in a critically acclaimed documentary also stirring the emotions. Did anyone say free advertising ?

Being the absolute classless scum that they are we have a Pavel Is A Geordie flag . Nothing like prostituting the memory of a dead man, for the second time in one poster no less, to hock your overpriced tat. Of course Pavel was once again associated with the same era of entertainment as Les. The KEEGAN era REMEMBER ?? The era where one man had the vision to not only save the club we love but to turn it into a powerhouse. One of THE great phases of being a Newcastle United supporter, the era this shirt aims to monetize your nostalgia for, just like Ashley monetized and cashed in on KEEGAN's credibility and affection with supporters. Of course they'd rather we didn't mention KEEGAN, it makes people uncomfortable when you point out that we failed to show the depths of our affection when he was constructively dismissed, when he saw through the sham he realized he'd be helping to uphold if he carried on managing the club. Some held out , most went back.

As if there isn't enough shameless marketing at work they have the Tyne Bridge and the Millennium Bridge but not even nature or nursery rhymes are safe from the corporate quid as The Ashley era tries to tie itself once again to traditions it's done it's level best to exploit and destroy. The traditional Magpies nickname that seems to have been abandoned by the new breed of fan. Let's have more tradition in our big advert. Two for joy, you should be joyous Newcastle customers as you fill the tills, after all what a small price to show your devotion and you can even get a discount at certain store owned by the regime. The only surprise is they'd didn't have the front to put five for silver on there. Enjoy your shirts, every single one sold takes us further away from everything that poster displays. Everything that Mike Ashley will never be a part of.

Bravo. Top post, wise words.
 
I thought Saudi Arabia wore an all green kit so I thought our away strip would be green but a quick google sees an almost replica of the current/recent Saudi national strip so expect this to ship millions abroad. ££££££ incoming.
 
They're having a meltdown on twatter about it Tnmw. Not helped by the drivel Luke Edwards has written in the tory graph.
 
They're ugliest tops I've seen of any team in my lifetime. Looks like something you'd get off a stall in Benidorm. Let's hope they're not legit they certainly don't look it.

Don't look particularly good to me either. Having said that the way the press have been going on of they are legit I will buy one just because I can
 
See the home kit officially released today. Think looks really good, bar shitty non-embroidered badge (but I am a traditionalist) but obviously huge pity we are still saddled with the sponsor the not so great fat one left us with.
 
Richest club in the world? Fun88's contribution is £6.5m per year. Why not just pay them up, £20m?.

Extending Dummett's contract, Longstaff's? Targett, played great for us, now available for £12m?

Haha, there's gonna be tears!

Not from me Neps.

In my opinion teams like Chelsea and Man City represent everything that's wrong with football.

Don't get me wrong mind, I'd rather sell out to the money than go through the Ashley type torture we had to endure for decades courtesy of greedy owners.

In fairness to our new owners they were quick to point out that we were not going to splash the cash but rather build foundations that would eventually lead to success, that will do me although I get your point regarding the high expectation from some of our fans.
