Pretty impressed by Huawei being the new sponsor, not much of a big deal in NZ but worldwide they are a HUGE deal!! they are supposed to be the next big thing in affordable smartphones. I remember listening to a tech info piece on the radio here in the UK about them investing hugely in the worldwide market and taking on, and matching, Apple, HTC and Samsung in the near future. They were talking about them producing a smartphone that was alongside the same technology as the Iphone but at a fraction of the cost, I seem to recall the £90 region being talked about.

Overall a big global company for the NIx, and we should be pretty happy to have them tbh....well done the Nix management!!

Wikipedia has some great "facts" about the new sponsor. They also sponsor B.Dortmund.

They may be Chinese Spies but Huawei to judge them?

Huawei on it!

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Good sponsorship. After a bit of research I got myself a Huawei Ascend G600 (or something). Its a great Mid range smart phone, outdoes the Samsung Duos which was the nearest price/spec competitor which my work mate has, large screen, dual core processor, decent amount of ram. Handles everything quickly.

My phone now matches my football club! Now how about some Yellow fever cases for the Huawei phones guys?

The only question is... How do you correctly pronounce the name?

Pffft. The NSA already have access to all of our smartphones and everything that happens on the internet. 
Let the Chinese have some Intel.

Any links with EPL clubs? The club did speak about a EPL side coming down next season, I could see it tacked onto a Chinese tour backed by Huawei. It also links in with wanting to build links in Asia, could go on Chinese tours during the off season.

Good man


("H'wa-way" would be my phoenetic spelling)


Although the "Wah-way" pronounciation used today is more or less the Cantonese version - despite the English spelling being in Mandarin pinyin.

Clearly has a thing about yellow and black stripeys.

(must see if it is keen to look at Basildon FC in the Essex Super League - maybe a job for Jerzy)

Well you can hardly call it a stripey when there are only 3 stripes on it. The stripes should be on the back as well

(just realised - Adidas, 3 stripes...... still not a stripey though)

Does look better.  Still not as good as the 2009/10-2010/11 reebok one.

Stripes are the same colour, but back & shoulders are less flouro.
Quite large fitting, I may have to consider a 2XL !

When seeing the two together like that the newer one looks a lot better. Except for the colour of the sponsor

think the new sponsor kinda pops more with the red - better than the black which just merges in.

If you squint your eyes it looks like the Hyundai Logo. Not much you can do with the logo of a multi billion $ company. I like the new shirt.

Love the new shirt. Didnt get the previous one so will get this one. 

Does Ryos do official name/numberings?

They didn't model the away strip (it is rather pants anyway I think - or maybe it's rather bikini-esque).

What's the point of keeping the kit pretty much the same ? People will just think "the one I have already looks like it so why should i buy it again ?" Rookie mistake, nix. Rookie mistake.

Really like thee home kit. Bit disappointed they've gone for the same colors on the away kit. Bit same same. I think every alternate away kit should be white but then do something different on every other kit

Seems it might be the yellow bra kit we have played our pre-season games in after all.

if it is the alternate kit how often will we realistically be wearing it - we only really clash with CCM when away. Every other away game we should be wearing the home kit.

There are far better pictures of that kit then the Newcastle one.

I like it..
More than the last one too.

I think the away kit will (might) look a lot better once the Huawei logo is added...I think the ugly-ness mainly comes from the big A0 sized plain white paper hanging on the chest...

BTW - i love Huawei's logo, far better than Sony's on our shirt.

I wonder if the new sponsor watched a match, heard the fever going off at the opposition at corner time and thought.. "we should get involved with this team, they keep chanting our name"
