If you’re going to rip off a kit, it may as well be one as iconic as Boca Juniors’.

Newcastle may be playing football in the Championship next season, but judging by these leaked Puma jerseys, they’ll be competing in English football’s second tier in style.

Reputable kit-leaking website Todos Sobre Camisetas released three Puma kits that Newcastle will supposedly be wearing in 2016/2017 on Thursday. Surprise, surprise, the home kit is black and white.

Who saw that coming?

However, the leaked away kit is very different altogether. Next season, it looks like they’ll be playing in a navy number with an amber strip across the chest and more amber accents on the shoulders.

The shirt looks very similar to the classic Boca Juniors’ shirt or a retro Tipperary jersey.

The third alternative kit is pristine white with a purple collar and more purple across the shoulders running down the sleeve.
