25/26 kit thread

as far as I'm concerned I see no Jets identity in those kits barring their badge/logo - take the badge it's as if its a new Club.

Looking back at the history of their kits, they don't seem to have a clear identity when it comes to the home kit. Most clubs will keep their home kit relatively consistent while being a bit more loose with their away kit. Jets on the other hand flip/flop around a bit. They can't seem to decide whether they are a gold/blue club or a blue/red club. https://www.footballkitarchive.com/newcastle-jets-kits/.
In my head, I kinda associate the navy/red stripes with jets more than the gold, but that is probably because their logo is red/blue.
@Guy Incognito as a Jets fans, do you mainly associate the gold kit or the red/blue stripes as the core main home shirt?

when I picture Jets its the red/blue dominating colours that relate them to me.
Not sure when the tinge of gold was introduced but its a nice small touch originally.
Some Club kits just go too far away what the original was - I mean thats your "colours" right, what we gravitate towards our Clubs.

Same, but historically it's actually 50/50 gold home kits to red/blue home kits. This season puts the gold kit ahead by 1.
2005—2011 - Gold Home Kit
2011—2021 - Blue/Red Home Kit
2021—2026 - Gold Home Kit

Gold was introduced as the primary colour for season 1 of the A-League. It had never appeared on a Newcastle kit of any kind before that so don’t know why it was chosen, but the reasoning was to be different to the Knights colours.

This is probably controversial for a Jets fan to say but I’m not a fan of the gold. I get it’s to be different to the Knights but it’s such a shit colour on the field and also sucks aesthetically when looking at fans in the crown with gold jerseys and flags etc.

I’d much rather us have stuck with the red and blue. Easier to make a better looking kit, supporter gear is less garish and makes sense having colours the local community connects with as a whole.

I don't think that's controversial at all. Every Jets fan I've crossed paths with pretty much says the same thing.
Really all they need to do is look at the Barca kit history and copy any number of good kits. I don't think anyone would care at all that they were copying Barca.

Barca, Bayern Munich, hell even PSG and Crystal Palace all have good examples of what can be done with red & blue.

Yep that’s it pretty simple hence why complicate it.
Maybe money grab but change after change just dilutes the brand to me.

Gold kits are usually winners but checkered gold?

Way too busy with blue sleeves, multi coloured trim and not to mention a collar to boot.

Too much going on.

I don't think gold goes well with Navy blue. Maybe a lighter shade of blue or a white (the away kit looks good).

Should have blue and red for home and gold and white for away
 
Totally agree with all regarding the red and blue as representing the Jets and Newcastle. The latest version came about because Shane Mattiske, Gallops deputy in Rugby league administration, was made the Jets interim CEO while a new owner was found, Unbelievably he ran a Facebook poll on which colours to adopt, and the Facies chose gold. I haven't renewed my membership since
 
You didn’t like the gold kit so you stopped supporting your team? Seems a bit over the top no?

The gripe for me was, we had 10000 members and none were asked what identity the club should have. If that's how important a member is to the club, they can have mine
 
I believe Mattiske has already left the club? Also, different ownership/management now?
 
That's right Kitwally, new owners and new management, I still follow the club, just not willing to give my money and time anymore, did it for 12 years
