10. Newcastle

Another club with a jersey sponsor that almost completely ruins the rest of the kit. Earlier, I wasn’t sure if Manchester United had the biggest logo on the shirt. I am now positive that Newcastle’s is bigger, and maybe even worse.

It seems like there are a lot more Chinese sponsors on kits this season. That, in and of itself, is not a problem. The size of the logo, combined with the neon blue coloring makes it tough to look at. If you look closely, the blue verified check mark on Newcastle’s twitter is almost the exact color of the sponsor. If that’s what Puma and Fun88 were going for, they absolutely nailed it.

Taking that to the next logical level, of course, Newcastle made that blue color the primary away kit. It’s appalling.

It would be fair to wonder then, how did Newcastle end up ranked 10th? A fair question after taking one quick look at both the home and away, but one that is answered with their alternate.

I can’t even complain about the sponsor anymore. Those are gorgeous. The black on black works perfectly, and the gold outline makes me weak. I may be a sucker for most kits that have gold accents, but Newcastle’s take first prize. It’s hard to get most fans to agree on anything regarding jerseys these days, but there was near universal praise when they rolled these beauties out. I’m not sure how Puma could mess up the first two so badly and nail the alternate, but here we are.
