Fans all say the same thing as Newcastle release 2025/26 away kit with TWO badges on it
NEWCASTLE United have stunned fans after unveiling their bold new away kit for the 2025/26 season – featuring TWO badges.
The striking green and white shirt also raised eyebrows as it appears to resemble Saudi Arabia’s kit in an apparent nod to the club’s owners.

Released with the usual slick marketing video, the kit showcases stars such as Joelinton, Sandro Tonali and Jacob Murphy all posing in the dual-crested strip, but most eyes weren’t on the players.
Instead, the attention was drawn to what fans are calling a colour and design problem.
The club’s classic crest is displayed on the left side of the chest and a second, more modernised badge, embossed below the neck.
Social media exploded within minutes of the reveal with some supporters joking the Magpies are “tilting towards green and adding badges”.
Others were more baffled than amused, with one X user writing: “Can someone explain why we’re wearing two badges? We only need one identity.”
Another added: “When do Chelsea get their Saudi kit too? Just curious since PIF seem to pay them more attention than us these days.”
Then a third fan said: “I wonder why we suddenly have green away kits the last few years.”

Club sources say the dual-badge design is a nod to “the past and the future” with the traditional crest symbolising heritage and the new logo pointing towards a “bold new chapter.”
But not all fans are convinced with many branding it a “gimmick” and urging the club to “stop fixing what’s not broken”.
Despite the online backlash, early sales report suggests the shirt is flying off the shelves — proof perhaps that controversy still sells in football fashion.
Some fans also took the chance to ask about their striker Alexander Isak, who Sunsports understands wants to join Liverpool.
The prolific striker has asked the club to allow him to explore other options.
There is a huge chance that Isak could leave Newcastle this summer with a host of clubs in the Premier League and Europe monitoring his situation.
