Toongerines

In recent times, Brazil won yet another international tournament, the Confederations Cup in their now famous yellow jersey which is symbolic of their brand in Samba football and success at every level. Donned by the legendary Peles, Zicos, Romarios, Ronaldos and Ronaldinhos, Brazil gave life to their yellow jersey.

Quite contrasting though is the recent away kit decided by Newcastle United a.k.a the Toon Army. Not satisfied with a "distinct" home kit that resembles that of jailbirds' uniforms from historical times, it got itself a wuss of an away kit which quite frankly reeks of bad fashion taste.

With the demise of their Permiership status, Newcastle's management somehow got itself into deeper embarassment by introducing a granny-inspired yellow kit that equates to their recent brand of football... toothless and dull. Nick names that had already come to mind of observers include "bananas and ice-cream", "deckchair" and "all-day-breakfast". To me, the best one coughed up to date must be "Toongerines".

I wonder who is the mastermind behind the design. Perhaps he is a keen supporter of Sunderland F.C. whose evil desire is to heap more salt into the heavy blows sustained by the Geordie club.. ... " Now what can we add on to relegation to the Coca Cola Division, the impending sale of the club again, an unstable management team and the loss of Michael Owen.... oh I know... how about a really horrible looking away kit?? hehehehe... HAHAHAHAAA!!"

The poor Newcastle fans must be wondering if their beloved Toon Army is really turning into a cartoon nightmare.
