New Newcastle away kit divides opinion amongst fanbase as Toon faithful deliver verdict

Newcastle United supporters are divided over the club's away kit for next season. Some of the Toon faithful love the new look garments for their return to the Champions League, while others can't get away with it.

The Magpies new sponsorship Sela will be on front of the shirt next season, with noon.com adorning the left sleeve.
