Newcastle United tight lipped on Saudi Arabia-inspired shirts after online leaks

Newcastle United are staying tight-lipped on whether they will be donning a Saudi Arabia-style third shirt next season.

The new look white shirt with a green trim has the distinct look of the shirts worn on international duty by Saudia Arabia when they arguably most famously came to prominence when Saeed Al Owairan scored one of the most famous goals in World Cup history running from his own half to score a solo goal in Washington against Belgium in a 1-0 win back in 1994.

United will not confirm the shirts until later this summer when a staggered reveal by Castore will take place for a new series of shirts. The new tops feature an all green trim but it remains to be seen whether the jersey are unveiled yet.

Castore opened up for business on Gallowgate last summer when taking the main club shop off Mike Ashley's hands before the takeover. A new store at the Metro Centre is also doing a roaring trade in light of Eddie Howe's Toon revival and the club's Middle East takeover.

Founded in 2015 by brothers Tom and Phil Beahon, Castore was created to bring a new level of performance to sportswear. Tom and Phil’s vision is to build Castore into a brand that is focused on premium sportswear and respected across the globe for its innovation and performance within the market.

Tom Beahon said: "We have been warmly welcomed by the fans and the city of Newcastle, and we’re looking forward to the latest expansion within the area."

Newcastle and Castore have both been approached for comment.
