One of the finest Kit of the Week (KOTW) stages we’ve had recently was the one that was instigated due to a certain Northeast Premier League side’s takeover by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF). You may have read about the latter.
The double nelson chapter dedicated to Newcastle United delivered in spades, with many seeing the possibility of current kit supplier Castore being replaced by one of the big three - adidas, Nike or Puma - and the current, kit-four-mulating sponsor making way for the logo of the state-owned oil company, Saudi Aramco.
While there were a host of brilliant Home designs, including an aerial-view-incorporating effort from Corinth and something spectacular that just missed the deadline from ayoubo, it was a change shirt that came out on top, with TRIDENTE keeping faith with the current manufacturer to revisit the famous stylings from 1995-96 (and 2018-19).
The standard was so high that plenty of others could have been victorious - not least CBDesign12 for their marvellous tri-coloured upload which referenced Breast Cancer Awareness Month - and the Saudi-backed Magpies could do worse than carrying some of our members’ fantasy concepts on the pitch in years to come.
