Newcastle United ’s away shirt for the 2022-23 campaign has been revealed to share the same colours as Saudi Arabia amid the club’s contentious takeover.
The Saudi-backed Public Investment Fund completed a £305m deal to acquire the Premier League club in October last year, Mike Ashley stepping back after over 14 years at the helm at St James’ Park.
There were initial doubts over whether the consortium had links with the Saudi state - owners elsewhere in English football holding doubts - but the club’s new owners satisfied the Premier League that was not the case shortly before a deal was ratified.
