United Unveil 2014/15 Third Kit

Newcastle United are proud to unveil the Club's new PUMA third kit for the 2014/15 Barclays Premier League season.

Fans can purchase the kit from 9am on Saturday (20th September) at www.nufcdirect.com and in official club stores ahead of the kit being worn by the first team for their trip to Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Monday, 29th September.

Newcastle's 2014/15 PUMA third kit was chosen from a shortlist by members of the Club's official Fans Forum, who selected a strip featuring a half-blue, half-green shirt - heavily influenced by the third kit worn during the Magpies' opening years in the Premier League between 1993 and 1995.

Lee Charnley, managing director at Newcastle United, said: "We wanted to involve our supporters in the design and approval process for this kit and as such we presented a number of options to Fans Forum members.

"We are delighted to unveil this kit, chosen by those members, which I am sure our players and fans will wear with pride."

Featuring all of the technological excellence expected from PUMA, the innovative new replica strip incorporates PUMA dryCELL technology for improved player performance.

PUMA dryCELL technology wicks and manages moisture away from the skin's surface, enabling the wearer to stay comfortable and dry throughout the game.

Ruth How, PUMA UKIB head of marketing, said: "We strive to create designs that inspire both players and fans to feel proud of their team.

"Both are equally important but this season we wanted to give the Club's loyal fans the chance to vote for their favourite third kit design.

"We think they've chosen a fantastic design and look forward to seeing the Magpies pick up three points when they wear it for the first time against Stoke on 29th September."

Supporters can purchase their 2014/15 third kit from 9am on Saturday by visiting www.nufcdirect.com or in official club stores.
