The Championship Chronicles - The Jetstream's review of the 2007/08 season. www.newcastlefootball.net/chronicles
I did some super lazy sleuthing and while Viva and Legend do look similar, they were started/are run by different people. A doctor from SA and his wife seem to run legend out of a factory ("cough" sweatshop) in Shanghai. Not exactly Nike or Puma.
Looks like they do our kits, Fiji Rugby League, and then amateur clubs and general apparel.
Not exactly confident in the quality in these kits considering Viva were a bigger company and they weren't exactly top drawer.
Haha Frodo, I was just doing the same investigative actions and came to the conclusion they were separate companies.
Maybe just a quick fix to pump out the australia cup kit? Or a season kit new supplier?
The cup kit sexually thrilled me.
I noticed the commentator (forgotten who it was already) referred to it more than once as our away strip.
So he either has no idea and is making it up, I've missed an announcement that it actually is our away strip this season, or he has some inside knowledge?
I remember the away strip was chosen by the fans with a poll at the end of last season - n.2 below

Even KB United preferred their version of "gold" eventually...
Only one bloke on this foz constantly makes me laugh Plague and it ain't you - MFKS
Firstly, "fans" shouldn't be voting on anything. You want a vote, buy a membership.
Secondly the landslide vote. Of the approx 10000 members, 85% didn't vote at all. The 15% that did vote, 80% voted for gold. That's 12% of members. Only club in the world that would change colours on 12%
Thirdly, I am happy to go with any colour if a proper members survey reaches a 60% - 70% threshhold
Fourthly, the club needs a club charter and members charter to set certain rules regarding these matters, but don't hold your breath
So we will be having a Gold home strip this season ?
