What's the thought process?
Also happy for Newcastle that they've kept the black
Yellow Strip is fab
Black strip good...so glad we've kept the black!
Badge awful

The yellow top is like the old Arsenal football top from 20 years ago....
The new club crest encompasses the North Star, reflecting Newcastle Red Bulls' status as the league's northernmost club as well as giving direction.
The dynamic bulls represent the driving force with the club always moving forward, with other elements of the design incorporating a rugby ball and the Tyne Bridge.
As well as the black home kit, Newcastle Red Bulls have also unveiled their gold away shirt, demonstrating a proud connection with the club's professional history.
The club wore black with gold trim in lifting their 1997-98 Premiership title – still the only team ever to win the top-flight crown the first season after promotion.
I've just said that, very similar
TY.
I'm sure it'll grow on me - doing a sports logo must be a thankless business - I can't think of an actually good one that isn't pre-existing with a long history.

That's definitely better than I was expecting

Not bad tbf, certainly not as bad as it could've been
Agreed, with the exception of the badge which to me should be a sacrosanct consistent identifier.
It just screams franchise to me. And while RB may be a long term investor who will do a lot of good, one day they will leave the stage and a new identity will have to be created. A nod back to heritage whether Falcons or earlier would have been the classy thing to have done.
But that’s the era Newcastle find themselves in and they weren’t exactly in a strong bargaining position.
Should have gone for the Newcie Brown Star with the Tyne bridge.
Apparently the Tyne bridge is in there... somewhere.
Totally agree. But I can handle a dodgy badge. The strips are pretty decent considering how limited time they've had, but most importantly we still have a club to support and hopefully better actual rugby to watch.
Still waiting to hear the plans for the academy (apparently a full overhaul) and the stadium and facilities etc.

The Bridge is the first thing i saw, thought it was the main detail (after the bulls of course)
yeah, i look at the Super rugby badges and they look so dated, very 90's

Seems off-brand for Bristol?
Cardiff Blues Bears
It's not a bad kit but I wouldn't say it's Bristol, tbh
Might look different in person/on pitch, though - putting them in front of a background the same colour was a poor choice

Are other club shops as dismal as Bristol's?
Hardly ever anything in stock.

Currently going through a large update to website and Bristol Sport store itself so it should be improved in the near future.
But you're not far off. Luckily dodged Castore for at least another season.
