New Newcastle away kit divides opinion amongst fanbase as Toon faithful deliver verdict

Newcastle United supporters are divided over the club's away kit for next season. Some of the Toon faithful love the new look garments for their return to the Champions League, while others can't get away with it.

The green shirt with a tonal stripe design will be worn on the road alongside white or green shorts in all competitions next season. The club came under fire last season for donning white and green colours similar to that of Saudi Arabia - when the club's owners are from.
