So … and now for something slightly different 🌞.
Browsing the morning papers, I’ve just noticed the new Newcastle United 3rd shirt (wasn’t searching for it - honest!😁) https://shop.newcastleunited.com/products/newcastle-united-mens-24-25-third-shirt and in particular the logo on it.
Their logo’s similarity to our smiley badge is obvious … but what I didn't know is that they 1st used that badge in 1983 (of course our smiley badge dates from 1973 … were they influenced by our badge?), but it seems odd, or purely coincidental, that the very same time as we resurrect our smiley badge, NUFC go and do the same with their equivalent.
Don’t the shirt designers at Adidas have an original thought between them?😁
(oh and for any NUFC fans who’ve happened upon this thread, here’s our new 2nd shirt for this season https://shop.leedsunited.com/02jer24102-24-25-adult-away-jersey ).
💙🤍💛
Are Newcastle copying us? 😁

It dosent look nything like the smiley badge.

I agree - the only similarity is that 70s style typography. I don't think the Newcastle one stands the test of time as well as ours tho...

Talking non-first kits, I really like the Everton third kit. They might be better at baseball this season.

Sorry Light Brigade, for being harsh, didn't mean to offend - I woke up the wrong side of the bed, andwas in a bad mood. Agree you can't beat our Yellow Smiley.

Morning MRU🌞 (just seen your post). Sincere thanks for the apology and of course accepted with grace. Thank you. Just to add balance though, I am mostly a cynical so-and-so these days and I find I get irked at the slightest of things. So apologies from me, to you, for that. Have a good day👍🌞.
