A lot of Newcastle United fans have replied to a post from Won The Ball, which shows a concept kit they have designed with the help of @thurkettlewill.
They claim that the kit would be to celebrate the proposed takeover happening and is all black.
Puma manufactures the concept kit, and both the Newcastle badge and Puma badge are black with ‘Puma’ printed onto the collar.
Aramco sponsors the shirt, perhaps relating to PIF, who intend to take an 80% stake in the Toon should the takeover go through.
Are you a fan of this concept kit?
Yes
No
However, for now, these Toon fans are just excited by this design.

What do we think?
The Toon’s deal with Puma runs out at the end of this season though Won The Ball claim that the agreement has been extended.
This is just a claim, though, and the official line is that this is the last year of Puma manufacturing kits for the Toon.
Other than Puma manufacturing this kit though, we think it is a brilliant design, and if the Toon were to be taken over, it would be a fitting tribute to the start of a new era.
