NEWCASTLE'S new third kit appears to have been leaked... and once again it has more than just a hint of Saudi influence.
A shirt is circulating on social media with the Toon badge and the Castore logo.
But it is the colour that has left fans flooding in with comments.
Castore's latest strip is almost entirely green with light and dark stripes in various shapes and directions across the entire design.
Saudi Arabia is synonymous with the colour green and the national team wore a similar away kit at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, famously beating Argentina.

The leaked jersey is completed with a black-and-white trim around the sleeves and round-neck collar.
It comes a year after Newcastle's controversial white-and-green number - accused of being a Saudi-style shirt following the takeover by the Public Investment Fund.
And similar jibes were directed at the Magpies for the latest shirt.
One said in response to the Footy Headlines images: "At some point the Geordies might realise it's not their club anymore, this is embarrassing."
Another wrote: "After green kits, all the Saudi sponsors etc, I'm afraid that they'll join Saudi Pro League next!"

A third added: "Very nice shirt. How long until Newcastle adds palm trees to the crest?"
A fourth commented: "It is a shame what the colour of this kit represents, it is brazenly obvious... no need to keep rubbing yourselves in everyone's faces of who you are."
And a final user simply replied: "Rotten."
If the leaked kit is genuine, Newcastle fans could see Sandro Tonali lining up in it at the likes of Fulham, Tottenham and Brighton next term.

The Italian is closing in on a £65million record transfer to St James' Park.
And he could be followed to Tyneside by Leicester ace James Maddison, who remains a top target.
