A lot of Newcastle United fans have responded to a tweet from NUFC Gallowgate that shows a concept kit for next season designed by Twitter user @thurkettlewill.
The kit designed by this Newcastle fan is manufactured by Nike and shows the Toon strip with four white stripes and three black ones.
It also features a sponsor from Saudi Arabia, presumably in honour of the Toon’s potential new majority owners PIF.
The sleeves are also striped, but @thurkettlewill made another design that had gold sleeves instead, and that also went down well.
Do you like this concept kit?
Yes
No

What do we think?
The Toon’s deal with Puma runs out at the end of this season, so Nike could be manufacturing Newcastle’s kit for the 2020/21 season, but it could be anyone really.
There are a good number of stripes and the sleeves work as does the sponsor – if Newcastle are taken over and change from Puma, then we think anything close to this would look good.
