NEWCASTLE AWAY AND THIRD KIT BY PUMA

Newcastle United are set to make their return to the Premier League after a year in the Championship. The Magpies have moved from Adidas to Puma as their official kit suppliers and here are the first offerings from Puma:

The official away kit returns to a more traditional all blue kit ( as opposed to last season’s unexpected yellow)

The third kit sees the return of a colour Newcastle haven’t worn in 10 years.

It must be said that both kits resemble the new Italy home and away kits. The star shaped collar and ‘fighter belt’ shorts return. We don’t think that this detracts from the look however.

“We’re very pleased with the new kits and we’re delighted with the look and design that Puma have come up with. They have delivered two eye-catching kits for the club and its supporters. I’m sure our new change and third strips will be well received by our fans and we’re also looking forward to revealing our all-new home kit in a few weeks.” – Newcastle United Managing Director Derek Llambias

The away and third kits are available for pre-order now. They will officially be on sale from the 15th July 2010.
