Newcastle United Reveal New Away Kit For 2014/15

Newcastle United have unveiled their new change kit for the 2014/15 season with a design and colour scheme inspired by one of the most memorable eras in our recent history. The Magpies will wear the all silver PUMA strip, opposition permitting, on their travels next season and will join Geordie legends from the mid-1980's such as Peter Beardsley, Chris Waddle and Paul Gascoigne in sporting the pinstripe number described as 'iconic' by Stuart Middlemiss, director of retail at Newcastle United.

"The new away kit is a celebration of one our most iconic shirt designs, with some of our most famous players in the modern era wearing the all silver kit between 1983 and 1988," he told nufc.co.uk

"I'm sure it will be extremely popular and that our players and supporters will be as equally proud to wear it."

Like most football kits nowadays the retro design of the shirt is a throwback to a bygone era and incorporates the latest innovation of PUMA's dryCELL technology, which is slated to enhance performance and promote comfort by attracting moisture away from the body to keep both players and fans dry during the more heated moments of a game.

However, it is worth noting that the last silver change kit the club conjured up coincided with our relegation to the Championship in 2008/09 so lets hope this isn't a classic case of foreshadowing for next season.
