The new away strip
Some outlets have reported the kit as being red, but it is actually more like a burgundy/maroon colour which has had some significance throughout our history. Some 120 years ago, when NUFC was first formed, our first kit was a maroon kind of colour which is a rather clever thing to do, given that it’s the 120th anniversary of our very clubs existence.
It also has prominence in recent history as we wore maroon and blue back in 1996 when Kevin Keegan’s entertainers nearly won the title, and again in 2007 although this time we had a navy blue shirt with maroon arms.
I’m not so keen on the goalkeeper kit however. 
Turquoise is not a particular favourite of mine but then again it’s seems to be the rage these days for goalkeepers to wear rather vulgar and brash colours!
The badges look awful but then I’ve come to expect that from PUMA if I’m being honest. I’ve still not bought one of their shirts and won’t do until I think I’m buying enough quality to warrant £50 of my wages. I’ll stick with the retro look for now, unless the home shirt changes my mind of course or I hear the the quality if shirts has improved beyond the capability of lasting longer than three cycles of the washing machine!
What do you make of them though? Are they a hit or are they a miss?

I quite like it meself but like you say, the quality of it is probably poor. Was hoping the rumours of a new Nike strip were true. Obv not!.
Heard a rumour that the lads are wearing the new home one tomorrow
Chances are as well that when it goes on sale, the boy will expect me to drop everything and rush out and buy it like every other feckin strip that comes oot! Spoilt little git!
I like it & will be buying it. Had that Maroon & Claret shirt & loved it. It’s still my favourite away top to be honest.
Oops sorry I meant the hooped shirt that Ginola wore!
The maroon one looks canny. I don’t care for the Sports Direct advert on the back but then again it is extra advertising for us and more in the coffers!
Toonsy why haven’t you shown the back and the SD advert. That might sway a lot of opinions the other way.
I say I won’t buy it, but I do need a new one so will probably end up treating myself. Will see what the home one is like first
Anyway, off away again for four days this afternoon. Going to miss the wife and kid. Still, at least I’m paying for my own family rather than scrounging off the government to support it
Troy – Put your rod away man. Don’t make me get the Premier League rules for shirt sponsorship out and embarrass you
Put my rod away ?? I take no responsibility for Rodzilla at all. Not related and we live in separate care homes!
@Mag4eva
You mean the hooped claret and maroon one? Wow. . You must be good at distinguishing colours. Have you been to spec savers to see if you are coloured blind? I bet you thought Ferdys white skin blended well with the claret and maroon.
Tops look o.k.. I actually like the all black puma away top we have worn this year.. looking forward to seeing the new home strip..
Toonsy
Sorry, but you need to change your avatar back to On the buses. I will forget what you look like before long and might not realise you are driving my bus!
Morning/ evening Aussie. What time is it owa there?
Morning Troy… 4.30pm mate.. beer time..
@troy
I still like my silvery/blue 1996 away top that I have.. its bullet proof, not flimsy like the new ones..
@Mag4Eva
@aussie
Cans of fosters?
Is that all you Aussies drink?
Don’t apologise Mag4eva.. it makes Troy feel important
Fosters
never even tried one Troy…
Have you ever tried a cold beer Troy
the keepers top, looks like something craig gordon “mackem keeper” would wear
would suit someone who likes to go clubbing with boys!! put it this way — THE TOP LOOKS PROPER FUCKING GAY 
, like you say, the badge spoils it, why cant they embriod it on ??
i quite like the away top thou
I quite like it actually. Burgundy reminds of wine from France which is perfect as we’re in Europe!
Also looks better now that the sponsors sign isn’t ironed fcking on!
@Aussie
I thought that’s all ozzies drank. That’s the perception over here. Jeepers!
I feed my pet newt fosters and he doesn’t even get pissed .
I thought you were taking the piss Troy
Mate no one drinks it here, I wouldn’t even know where to buy some.. As far as your pet goes, that is animal cruelty.. you should be giving it a better quality beer than that
Troy man… you will be hard pushed to find an ozzie bloke that drinks fosters…its all for export, they hate the shit. its all VB and that bollocks down there.
C’mon Craig
VB = wife basher..
whats that other rat piss you lot drink?? is it tooies or something like that?
Craig, that rats piss you are refering to is Tooheys extra dry
.. don’t drink it myself… if I go local, I will go a Coopers pale ale..
whats vb aussie
@Craig
I knew that they didn’t drink fozzies. I was trying to get a bite out of Aussie but it looks like I caught two!
off subject here,,but what have they done to cup final day,in the boozer at 11 then get a carry oot and back to a mates house to watch the match,,happy days
i thought the aussies were too busy catching crocodiles and getting stung off big rays to have time for a drink
You didn’t catch anyone Troy.. You don’t answer my first reply.. its sad that you are trying to claim that one
MG – VB is a beer called Victoria Bitter… shit beer if you ask me
Soldier9 .. never mind the crocs and stingrays.. its the fecken spiders you have to worry about..
Ahh maroon…is this a preemptive joke at Villa’s expense in case they go down?
Mate of mine pointed out that it wouldn’t be out of place in star trek
Newkie
That’ll be right
@36
Have you not seen that picture? The one with whatshisname (Professor X from x-men) thats in Star trek with the virgin logo and the NUFC shield photoshopped on? Made me laugh
Looks pretty smart.
Carroll: 4 goals 2 assists
Shola: 2 goals 5 assists
All hail King Shola!
Doesn’t look too bad on, not a fan of the keeper kit though.

God I hate Liverpool so much. I hate that I can justifiably give the fans of them that i know so much stick for their season yet i’d still swap it without doubt for ours.
At least our future is brighter (unless they go on a spending spree this summer).
ST spend or not daglish isnt good enough end of
Andymag
Nah mate I havn’t seen it
Newcastle’s proved this season that it’s not about the money money money but this shirt from shysters Branson and co. indicate otherwise.
…Canny shirt though but I’m not going to be lining their pockets at 45 pund a go like. Anyhoo, I’m still wearing that silky silvery one from 1980′s – never get tired of the lasses feeling is up when I’m wearing it!
And Holt makes it 2.1 to norwich ! get in
Foooookin Ell, the Permutations if that stays like that are unfoooookinbelievable m8!!
Arsenhole to get beat today, Ronnie wins the gas cooker, toon win tomorrow ………
HOWAY THE NORWICH!!!!! 
……….bein on the wrang thread for 39 comments!
…..balls! 
Don’t like it personally
Thanks for clearing that up Troy@8. Nursey just let me out of my special anti-keyboard jacket to pass on my regards. Hope the voices are speaking in English again for you, I hate it when harp on in Klingon too.
…oh, and at 52 fucking quid for rag with iron on transfers, I think I’ll give it a miss until next season as usual and buy last season’s for 20 quid, which is still overpriced.
Fucking shocking. The quality of club ‘replica’ shirts over the last 10 years and beyond has been getting poorer and poorer, which of course means cheaper to produce. Yet the price still goes up! I might start supporting the Falcons instead, at least you get a half-decent quality shirt. Moan moan.
We no longer have embroidered club crests, just pissy transfers that will crack after a couple of months, and ALSO have a fucking dirty great logo advertising the shirt sponsor which seems to get bigger each year too. Who am I supporting exactly? NUFC or Virgin Money? Free fucking advertising. Fans are paying through the nose to market Virgin for Richard twatting Branson.
Takes the piss. Bollocks to the new shirt. I’m buying last year’s.
(rant over)
colour and style = cool
badge = cheap and nasty
Loving the Passport Red colour of this new strip! Europe here we come!
I think you will find that the Burgandy colour is the same as that on the Virgin Media back ground on their web page
