Newcastle United have released pictures of their new away kit for next season and the good news is that the Newcastle 2012/13 away shirt is red and a real beauty!
As modelled by Newcastle’s man of the moment Papiss Cisse, this sexy red number will hopefully strike even more fear into Premier League opposition next year.
This is the first kit to properly feature Virgin Money as the sponsor, with the current shirt just having it stuck over the top of Northern Rock.
This will replace the current orange Newcastle away shirt, which has had mixed opinions amongst fans, but that I personally liked.
I have to say that Cisse looks the part in the red shirt and hopefully he’ll still be at Newcastle next season to wear it!
What do you think? Are you a fan of the new Newcastle away shirt? Will you be buying one?

Horrible!
sick ! why is it red and black for a start ? mackem colours ! dont understand how ppl think sometimes
Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End joined combined in 1892 to create Newcastle United. At the time Newcastle West End wore a maroon and blue kit. I read somewhere earlier in the year that as it is the 120 year aniversiry of the formation of NUFC this year, the shirt manufacturers were thinking about creating a maroon and blue kit. Even though it looks black in the photo I’m sure that the stripe is actualy a dark blue. This is not the first time that the toon have worn these colours in recent years. Remember when we nearly won the league under Keegan? Maroon and blue away kit. Remember Obafemi’s thunder bolt against spurs away? Maroon and blue also. That is why mate. Did you also know that NUFC spent the first two years of thier existence playing in red shirts, white shorts and red socks before they saw sense and changed it to black and white? At least the puma didn’t stitch us up with a 120 year aniversiry red and white kit!
^^ It’s an hommage to our original team colours from 1892… next season is our 120th season! It would make more sense if the dark colour was dark navy as opposed to black, but you can’t tell that either way from the picture,
A think people need to go back to school if they think thats red. some people are never happy what do yous want for an away top a black and white strips one dumb asses
It’s red / brown no? a bit maroon…
