# Twitter reacts to home kit unveiling

Newcastle United unveiled their new Puma home kit for the 2015/16 season earlier today. Here is how Twitter reacted:

Prior to the unveiling, Wonga announced that they had changed their logo, making the Newcastle strip out of date already

> I know Puma are lazy with their designs but they haven't even bothered updating the wonga logo. Classic NUFC tat.

But some fans weren’t too keen on the design and definitely won’t be purchasing it

Even those that liked the design won’t be entering the club shop anytime soon

One fan had an excellent theory as to why the shirt features blue accents

> Re the new kit it looks like MA is attempting to put [#nufc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/nufc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) and Rangers together to make some kind of a super club. Don't u bloody dare MA
