If the kits are United

Impressed with the new kit. It's fitting that out final season at the Boleyn should be marked by something traditional-looking (indeed James Tomkins looks ready to play in the 1923 FA Cup Final). It was inspired by the first kit worn at Upton Park in 1904. You could also imagine Billy Bonds, Alan Taylor and Graham Paddon playing in this. Like the fact it's got the dates 1904-2016 on the badge too.

Would look even better if it didn't have Betway plastered across it!

Why don't clubs offer a version minus the advertising? A few of us might even consider buying one now and again...

I agree - would prefer version with no sponsor but sadly never likely to happen. The likes of Mike Ashley would put Sports Direct on the Newcastle players' tie-ups if given the chance…
