Newcastle United have confirmed the official third kit for the 2022/23 Premier League campaign. The Magpies previously refused to comment on the green and white kit which resembled a Saudi Arabia-style shirt.
Simon Jordan was among the critics of the shirt, blasting Newcastle United's ownership for a lack of 'tact.' The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, alongside Amanda Staveley, Mehrdad Ghodoussi and Jamie Reuben purchased Newcastle from Mike Ashley in October 2021.
There can be little to separate the two kits, with the prospective away shirt, a white and green ensemble, bringing up uncomfortable questions about the Saudi regime and the Kingdom's human rights record.
