Newcastle United reveal green and white third kit with Saudi Arabia resemblance

Newcastle United have unveiled their new green and white third kit for the 2022-23 season.

Newcastle were taken over in October by a Saudi Arabian-backed consortium.

At the time of the photo leak, Amnesty International said Newcastle wearing the shirt would be "clear evidence" of sportswashing by the Saudi state.

The Premier League approved the takeover after receiving "legally binding assurances" that the Saudi state would not control the club.

In May, Magpies boss Eddie Howe said he was "aware of the criticisms".

"I think from my perspective it's not something I've had any control over," he said.
