Very smart indeed.
Flame orange and midnight blue…or just plain orange and navy if you prefer. However you describe the new Newcastle United away kit, it looks very slick indeed. From the stylish button down collar to the gentle nod to Boca Juniors in the template, it’s a bit alright.

The Geordie nation are positively gushing over their new change uniform, and Twitter was abuzz with approving noises from the St James’ Park faithful…

So that means that PUMA’s gorgeous new creation will sell in record numbers, right? Sadly not, because there’s a very admirable and virtuous reason why many Geordies won’t fork out for a kit they adore – the sponsor.
A great number of Newcastle fans aren’t especially keen on advertising a lending company that they feel charge extortionate rates of interest to their largely low-income borrowers. It’s a matter of principle – even if the actual kit design is ‘lush’.
New Newcastle away strip is actually beautiful. Shame about the massive wonga logo

Newcastle's new away kit look swell. If only there's a way to get one without 'WONGA' plastered in the middle… https://t.co/Yc05GX12ns
