Love the gold though.

any word on that hat Baz?

Its not the main goal but the shirt is a good start. First comes the jet shirt then cometh the jet hat.

[parksey]

can we please stop the movement to bring back gold strips? this is madness.

i'm sick of fans with no lives ruining this club for the all of the normal people out there with their insane rhetoric about "what our colours are" and how changing back to this ghastly abomination of a kit will somehow reconnect people with the club.

these same people will fall back on public polls on the herald website etc. but will probably hesitate to mention that they were probably the only people who bothered to vote, and that they did so 68 times each.

if you really hate the knights so much that you can't bear to have the jets wear a similar kit (which looks pretty great and a lot of people in this town rather like), please vote for green or something.

[Premy]

Gold kit FTW, just to piss of porksey if anything.

[Hunter403]

Red and blue vertical stripes are revolting.

[Jetmaster]

It is to be voted on by the members before 2016/17. So it will be democratic.
I bet red and blue doesnt get a guernsey (sic).
Look forward to the gold match v Gypos that Murphy has promised.

Wasnt going to vote till I found out parksey hated gold

I now also wholeheartedly support the move back to a gold jersey
Preferably with a return to Reebok. The Porksey ragequit will be epic.

If you are and are able to grab a large jersey (home or away) and a willing to send it to me it would be appreciated. I would also take a training shirt if Jerseys weren't available.

I can send money to whoever on Tuesday night when I get paid.

Cheers Thanks.

Here's some attempts, but I dread to think what BLK will put out.

I have opted to use the darker shade of blue as it looks from the recent scarf photo for miller times unveiling that common sense has prevailed. I worked on the info that the home and away would be a similar template with colour changes.

As a side note the RAAF Williamtown squadron logo's also use a darker shade of blue, gold & splashes of red, you can check them out here. www.airforcebadges.ca/raaf3%20-%20bases.html

Mitchell Murphy building for future despite uncertainty By ROBERT DILLON June 25, 2015, 9:30 p.m.

See your ad here
MITCHELL Murphy knows he needs to keep kicking goals if he is to be retained as the long-term chief executive for the Newcastle Jets.

The announcement on Thursday that the Jets had secured a home-game ‘‘principal partner’’, Beechwood Homes, for one season with a one-year option should only enhance his prospects.

It will be just the second cash-paying major sponsor in Newcastle’s history, after online bookmakers Centrebet in season 2008-09.

The club’s other major sponsors have effectively been Clayton’s deals, promoting companies owned or affiliated with former owners Con Constantine and Nathan Tinkler, such as Parklea Markets, Hunter Ports and Castle Quarry Products.

Murphy said the Beechwood deal was for a ‘‘sizeable figure’’ and negotiations were well advanced with a potential major sponsor for Newcastle’s away-game strip.

‘‘The market is tough for everybody and we learned very early on that to go and sell the kit holistically, for both home and away, in the current commercial landscape is going to be difficult,’’ Murphy told the Newcastle Herald.

‘‘So we decided to go with a hybrid model, where we’re selling the front of the home jersey and also the front of the away jersey to different partners.

‘‘We’re well down the track with negotiations on that. I suppose it makes it easier when you’re spreading the sell, rather than asking someone to come up with one very big number.’’

Beechwood Homes managing director Vic Cavasinni said the Hunter Region had been ‘‘kind’’ to his company over the past 35 years and this was a chance to ‘‘support the community’’.

See your ad here
Beechwood is also a sponsor of the Newcastle Knights.

“The people of Newcastle and the Hunter deserve a team in the nation’s elite football competition and we are pleased to help out,’’ Cavasinni said.

“. . . as builders we know the importance of building on solid foundations. We believe that the new Newcastle Jets are putting those foundations in place now, so we look forward to the journey together.’’

The only complication in negotiating the deal was that Beechwood also sponsors Sydney FC, so an agreement was reached whereby Newcastle’s shirts will advertise Autism Awareness for their home games against Sydney.

‘‘We contacted Sydney FC to let them know we were speaking to Beechwood,’’ Murphy said.

‘‘We wanted to be transparent about it. They were incredibly supportive.’’

Having been appointed as Newcastle’s CEO in February, Murphy’s future was clouded by the demise of Nathan Tinkler as Jets owner last month.

Like the rest of Newcastle’s administrative staff, Murphy is on a rolling month-by-month contract while the club remains under Football Federation Australia ownership.

But his aim is to stay at the helm once the governing body finds a new owner for the franchise.

‘‘For me, it’s quite simple,’’ Murphy said.

‘‘It’s business as usual until a new owner comes in, and then we’ll see how that new owner wants to progress.

‘‘But I’m fully committed to the club and I think we’ve shown a lot of positive signs in recent weeks that the future looks bright.

‘‘There’s a lot of work still to be done, and we’re very aware of that, but I think we’ve made some profound inroads.

‘‘It’s an unusual set of circumstances, but the commitment and resilience of the staff has been first-rate.’’

http://www.theherald.com.au/story/3172049/murphy-building-for-future-despite-uncertainty/?cs=3398

I think it is great that we will be having 2 different front of shirt sponsors one for home and one for away. Does anyone want to have a stab at who the away sponsor will be or how much it is going for?

Pico can we see your mock ups for the home kit with the beechwood logo, and the autism awareness logo (if there is one)

And also this years FFA cup shirt with the beechwood logo?

[pv4]

Can anyone do a non-shitty-on-Paint, hopefully pro-esque on Photoshop or something, legit attempt at changing our logo to e&c where the red and blue is? Would the gold jets still work?

Green border maybe? Atm the cinnamon & gold are kind of clashing, too similar, if the outside edge is green that might make it look a bit more striking

[pv4]

Cheers q.

I reckon it needs a darker shade of brown but otherwise I like it.

Are any historians out there (Retro?) able to point me to why/how red&blue became the colours so recognisable with Newcastle? I assume it is solely because of the Knights? Why did the Knights choose red&blue? Anyone know the backstory?

Colours were originally NHS...adopted by the Newcastle rep sides..with a blue shirt, white shorts, red/blue socks, though they did play in E&C in the late 70's (get this...because it identified with KB United as well). That is the sole connection.

[boz-monaut]

Yes I heard that in the inaugural NSWRL season back in 1908 when Newcastle took part in that they wore those colours that you mentioned above....blue, white, red.
That is why the Knights decided on those colours when returning to the NSWRL back in 1988.....which is why the Jets should get away from those colours and have our OWN identity.

[hawk]

The original gold colour came from the KB Beer sponsorship. that was piss at best. Con chose gold cause of his spic jewellry as he couldnt used his pink flamingo's. The other gold story was copying a yank sports team.

The Newcastle yankpissnecklace Jets has a nice ring to it. Still, i dont mind what colour we take

NNSW (usual rep side) was black and white stripes - Newcastle rep sides were actually orange and white !

And here is the original 1908 Newcastle rugby league kit...the Newcastle Rebels.

Who does this remind you of? Certainly not the Knights !!

Oh and by NHS I did mean Newcastle Boys High School.

[parksey]

so, basically, the only colours consistently colours by a newcastle sports team are red and blue

[Jetmaster]

If you mean the Knights yes....everybody else, no. Pirates, Falcons, Jaegers, Wildfires, KB United, most sporting rep sides et al have used a myriad of colours. Red and blue is entirely linked to Newcastle rugby league. Breakers/United made their reasons plain why they used those colours.

Um, yeah exactly. All of those other sides wore a variety of colours, none of which were apparently "newcastle's colours" (if that even exists).

Whereas the two most prominent sporting clubs in the town, the Knights and three out of the five nsl/a-league football clubs, have had red and blue uniforms (consistency).

Didn't we just establish that the Knights wore red and blue because it linked to Newy boys high?

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Why do the Knights matter in the discussion out of curiosity?
Why do we need to be the same as them?
Do we not want our own identity?
When we think of Cinnamon and Emerald we think of KB United, for most people, not bad memories.
When we think of Gold, most of us associate it with Winning the Premiership.
When we think of Red and Blue, at the moment, most people think of Tinkler changing out colours, winning a few wooden spoons and getting f***ed over.

I just don't see the obsession/argument that we should be red/Blue because the Knights are.
Did Brisbane Roar care when they chose Orange instead of the traditional Brisbane/QLD Maroon?
Did Melbourne Victory/City care when they chose navy/red over Storm Purple?
Did Wanderers care when they chose black and red over yellow and blue?

You don't get it. The Breakers went red and blue only to align themselves with the Knights who were the biggest of big back then. It was the first stage of getting the club to move to EAS and become that "superclub" - that thought was carried on by Con and Tinks.

The idea of merging the two just hasn't worked and one thing that came out of the members forum is that red/blue is too linked to the Knights and that the MAJORITY no longer want those colours or any association with the NRL club.

The members want their own identity which was highlighted during the gold years.

Any colour change will be voted by the members next year - don't know what it will be but the vibe I got is it certainly won't be red/blue.

I suspect gold home, e&c away will win. Personally I'd be going e&c home, white&gold away, navy/blue/red (much like q's fap kit) third. And keepers to wear that jade kit, or basically any colour other than yellow :wub:

No, it's you who doesn't seem to "get it". Red and blue is the most consistently used colour scheme in professional sport in newcastle.

That is a fact.

Like you said, though, our amazing members will most likely choose gold (the worst kit in the history of Australian sport) even though most of the fan base didn't like it at the time. You are kidding yourself if you think most people on here wanting to move from red and blue represents a "majority" of supporters.

Oh well, at least I got a few years of happiness supporting this club.

I have to argue against this.

Of people I know outside of this forum that support the Jerks, there is only one that I know that is a fan of the red & blue. The rest, and there are so many of them, favour e&c or gold - probably 50/50 on which one they'd prefer to see as the home kit.

Which is why the club, more than likely, will canvas the members next year and ask what they want. That's the opportunity to speak up and be heard.

And while the fans in the past may have disliked the gold, I wonder whether they are still fans now? The current members are the ones that will have the say.

Hey Parksey....YOU ARE TALKING SHITE!!!

To say that the gold kit is "(the worst kit in the history of Australian sport)" is simply a disgrace.....this gold kit with the red and blue trim is what gave us our identity as a separate sporting entity from the Knights. Whether you were going to the shop or just walking down the street, from a distance if you saw someone with a gold jersey on, you thought "ah there is a Jets supporter". I see someone in a red/blue jersey it's not until they are about 5 metres away that I truly recognise whether it is actually a Knights or Jets jersey.

The fact that Tinkler without consulting anyone decided that our colours for our football team representing this region would be red and blue to align with this "Team Newcastle" bullshit with the Knights is reason enough to eventually get away with what I feel are now tainted colours.
I stopped wearing the red and blue early last season and even if the colours were by some perverse reason to remain, I for one will never wear those colours again!!!

[Hunter403]

Never bought a Jets red and blue replica shirt. Never will. I'm not alone. Nearly all my football friends (and who are not on this forum) would want anything but red and blue. Gold is the most popular for home and e&c away

[plague]

yeah but to be fair all of the shirts that weren't legit playing strips looked brown rather than gold.

[pv4]

I don't know one person who prefers gold/e&c to red and blue, or would even consider there being a need to change colours.

So judging by the fact that basically everyone at the forums, most people that everyone has talked to, etc all prefer e&c or gold to r&b, or even just want anything but r&b, is it fair to say that parksey knows no-one?

Where exactly is this "majority" that you speak of, who apparently want red&blue to stay? Because no one has heard from them, at all!

from memory i never said anything about the "majority" of jets fans wanting red and blue.

alls i said was i would hesitate to say that the people attending the fan forums are speaking for the "majority" of jets fans. because quite frankly, not many of the people who attend games/buy memberships are anywhere near as invested in the club as some of the people on here and at the fan forums. this is just me spitballing here but some people would probably think changing colours again is a bit stupid, a lot of people in town see red and blue as newcastle's colours (rightly or wrongly) and i remember there being a largely positive reaction to the intro of red and blue back in 2010.

i mean, look around the stadium on matchday. hunter1403 and his mates may not have bought a new jersey but it seems like a lot of the other fans did.

but whatever, seems pretty certain that we will change. i'm just praying it's not back to gold.

[pv4]

You are kidding yourself if you think most people on here wanting to move from red and blue represents a "majority" of supporters.

This is what you said.

Is that meant to read any other way than "the majority of supporters want to keep red&blue"?

[Pico]

I'd be happy to keep the red and blue but only if we changed it to a better combination along these lines (my own bias acknowledged).

I agree a darker/navy blue and red looks way, way better than the shade of blue from our current logo.

Have many/any Newcastle sporting teams in history used navy blue as their primary colour?

[GazFish35]

We won't be navy.

Victree will shit trophies.

[Frodo]

I'm yet to see anything in Gold that looks half decent, plus there are already 2 other yellow/gold teams. Hopefully/Luckily i think we will struggle to get a Gold kit as our home kit.

[The Postman]

Pure speculation

Home Kit
Royal Blue (Like the current training tops) with Gold trim and slight touches of Red trim

Away Kit
Mostly White with Gold trim and again slight touches of Red trim

If you remember back 12 months when the BLK deal was signed, the staff were given a bunch of BLK gear to wear that had no correlation with the finished product that's all.

Having dealt with BLK before in another sport, we have gone to them and said "we need X amount of this product in this size on a rush" and have got a response based on what was on the shelf at the time.

Interesting to see it that same post Platinum Members will be offered 1x Ticket and Bus to a NSW away match.

One membership perk I would like all NSW Clubs to have is discounted entry to other NSW Clubs Members.

[GazFish35]

One membership perk I would like all NSW Clubs to have is discounted entry to other NSW Clubs Members.

This has been raised at the members sub-committee meeting, and the club looking into options, complications come with different ticketing companies looking after different stadiums.




Logic suggests the two sydney clubs dont need to as their derbies sell out.
and offering discounts to WSW fans to head north is not needed as they travel is large numbers anyway. Just ask our PA guy.


It's more about getting Sydney fans up to Us and CCM (which is already pretty strong) and Us and CCM to all venues.

[pv4]

Big fan of both of the Sydney kits. So simple.

They have to change the home kits star from the gold that is shown, to silver. Gold is reserved for the returning champions (ie MV).

http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/ffa-approves-strip-stars-champion-clubs


Clubs who win the championship will be entitled to display a gold logo of the competition they won, featuring the word ‘Champions’ (for Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League) or ‘Winners’ (for Westfield FFA Cup). This will be worn in the season immediately following the title win.
Reigning AFC Champions League winners the Western Sydney Wanderers FC will be recognised with a gold star above the club logo in perpetuity.
This will be the entitlement for any Australian club that wins Asia’s most prestigious club competition, with any subsequent AFC Champions League titles won by a club to include a number contained in the middle of the star representing the number of Asian titles.
The retrospective policy means any club that has won the A-league or W-League championship can display a silver star above their club logo in perpetuity.
For the second and subsequent titles, the star shall include a number contained in the middle of the star, which represents the number of titles won.

a number of kits were designed.
they asked the sub-committee what we wanted from a kit - without showing us the mock ups
and staying in colours of the club crest guidlines


the feedback was given that it needed to be

simpler - no gradient ugly stripe shit, or patchy/busy RL type kits, more a traditional football kit
less "knight" looking, so less a combo of red/blue
more gold


I assume they then applied these guidlines to the designs already created with kit supplier



this was well before tinkler ****ed off

I agree the navy looks better.
But Victree have it and there's that mob just south of us too.

Club/FFA were pretty clear that this kit was not negotiable in the tinkler ousting era, but everything including club colours were open for discussion for next season (16/17) when we'll be the Dundee United crocodiles.

[Jetmaster]

while ever theres rowyal blue in our badge i reckon its a good shout be on the kit.

Didn't matter first few seasons....anyway I think the possibility could be there for a badge change.

[GazFish35]

Only repeating what I've heard club say.

Kit will reflect club colors, colors are those of the badge.
Move away from stripes like Knights
Use more gold
Not all gold (not everyone lives it sadly)
Respectable clean kit - not some subliminalted vomit concoction.

Was always gonna be pretty clean.
Red as predominant colour would have been too Adelaide.

This way the kit is clean, uses more than just the token gold piping, reflects badge colour and is unique to the league.

Love it, hate it, I don't care. But I think the reasoning behind its choice is pretty sound.

Not a palm tree in sight.



Personally I would have liked them to go with a harlequin half/half but they're also hindered by whatever tripe BLK offer up as templates.

[Pico]

Not a fan, might grow on me though once I see a cleaner photo, and inspected the back to see if its cape free.
I pray we don't re-sign with BLK, easily the worst kit designs in the league history, I have money, love my club, I'm willing to buy new kits each year... stop making me add to my savings account instead. On the bright side that's 2 of the possible 5 kits this year, maybe they will fluke a nice clean kit design at some point, they still have three more attempts but I'm not holding out any great hope with regards to the RAAF kit, it screams tacky gimmick BLK special.

[Thomas477]

The Jaffas had BLK kits this year, and they were really nice.

[Jeterpool]

So we are releasing 5 kits Thursday. I think it will be the home, away, Jet outfield kits and the two goal keeper kits.

I don't reckon the gold kit will be launched

Home away gold and keeper kits would be me pick. The gold kit is the one for 3 games. The RAAF kit is only for rnd 8 against roar.

[Grimario]

So the kits for next season will be BLK. Pico anychance of some mock ups?

Home - Blue and Gold

Away - White and Gold

Alternate - Gold kit will be worn 4 times throughout the season. including a heritage round

Special - RAAF kit will be worn in round 8 aginst Brisbane Roar.

Should have paid attention to you the first time around...

[The Postman]

So we have the All Royal Blue Home Kit

My hope for the Away Kit would be a re-do of the GF kit

Gold Kit, classic Jets strip

RAAF Kit, our version of the Coasties palm tree kit with some massive jets flying on the front. Probably will be Navy Blue, grey Jets in it.

GK kit, same old same old

I didn't think they said we were signing a striker in 2-3 days. I thought they hoped to have a resolution to the negotiations in 2-3 days because the striker is currently playing.

Can confirm - gold looks tits. Blue is good. Not sold on white (never liked white kits)

pv4 will be gutted, no more coastie colour keeper kit

[leftrightout]

Think the gold would look better with blue shorts. I think the all gold looks strange!

[lquiquer]

Gold jersey would have look much better with red collar and end sleeves instead of blue...and agree red shorts with it would be much better

[NewyTy]

Really great kits this season. Wishing we had of gone with the green kit instead of a white one but the rest are classy. Is Lee Ki wearing the RAAF kit? Can't see much of a difference there. Honestly will probably buy all four, even the goalkeeper shirt is great.

[MFKS]

Only needs to put palm trees on there to look like complete Aids.
Who designed this shit?? Who approved this shit??

Sack them all



All Look terrible.

Don't think any football kit with same shirt colour as same shorts colour looks good.

The contrast between one and the other is needed.


Like FFS You going out on the town trying to look good you don't where pants the same colour as your shirt do you???

[belchardo]

like the blue, gold would be better with different colour shorts, I'm not really a fan of the white.

[belchardo]

and I'm guessing that inspiration paints is our new sponsor!

Don't think that's the RAAF kit. They will probably introduce that the week of the game to build hype etc.

Thought so, just another home jersey. Will be interesting to see what they come up with for the RAAF kit.

Chill out. It's been stated numerous times that in order to have strips ready for this season, fan feedback couldn't really be taken into account.

We will be able to vote to some degree on next season's strips

yet we had E&C last season....

I am aware that has been said in the past by the FFA Overlords but lets face facts it is a cop out and full of complete shit and just used to fob the fans off.

They used that excuse 4 months ago.


How long does it seriously take to organise a kit???

If they can't get a kit designed and done within 4 months then they need to have a serious look at the organisation they are dealing with cause it ain't rocket science

Always had you pegged for a denim on denim 80's style wonder king.

I think they all look good, would have liked white shorts and socks on the gold kit but other than that they're pretty good. Half the town hate gold, half the town love it, half the town hate the knights red and blue, the other half love it, half the town love the E&C the other half have no clue as to why those colours are significant.

No matter what they'd have done some won't like it.
In the end I reckon all three are pretty solid kits, clean and simple.

We won't be laughed at like the palm tree wearing mob down south!

Move away from BLK and we'd have a better set of templates to choose from.



Kit design was started ages ago, concepts were discussed at the sub-committee meeting way back, when the club offices were still near the stadium. Back in march

Feedback from the committee to the club was -

less "knight" looking.
More gold.
Not all gold.
Not some sublimated monstrosity - keep it simple.

Only constraint from club was it needed to be from the colours of the club crest.


Decent outcome IMO.
Not ideal, as I'd love to see it in E&C and there's a few panels I'd have swapped or kept the same as the main shirt to simplify it even more.

From interest, how many shirt manufacturing deals for professional sporting team shave you been privy to?

Turn arounds and production times aren't as quick as you'd think, especially when BLK aren't a major player in the market, and our shirts sales aren't massive to warrant strong arming the company into doing production speeds they are capable of.


Again, we need to move away from BLK.

[sammydog]

I actually like all three.

The gold would have benefitted from different colour shorts, but I'll be buying all three jerseys this year.

[Grimario]

Again, we need to move away from BLK.

Don't care who makes the kits, just get Pico to design the ****ing things.

[GazFish35]

Agreed, I think they should move to have every new kit designed by fans and voted on, before going to manufacturers.

[The Postman]

Would imagine at times there will be a need to wear different colour shorts and socks to avoid a clash.

[leftrightout]

I quite like the blue home kit... think it looks good except for the socks.
Socks should just be one colour, not hops or strips or anything. Simple simple simple!

[lquiquer]

Hoops in two colours would be better than what they have gone with... a bizarre three segment sock with the third colour outlining the middle segment. Awful.

If we win things, I don't care how the kits look tbf.
