Newcastle Red Bulls’ launch of their new logo and kit has been met by the usual gamut of criticism and praise from fans. However, there is one common question that the club have been forced to clear up.

While the kit’s launch has been greeted largely with praise, there appear to be a few more critics of the logo online.

However, the main question seems to be that the logo shows the brand name ‘Red Bull’ rather than the club’s title Newcastle Red Bulls.

This has caused a fair degree of confusion on social media, with one fan writing on X: “So… are they called Newcastle Red Bull or Newcastle Red Bulls? The shirt, website logo, and other branding is different to the crest logo so someone needs to make their mind up.”

Others wrote: “I like these! But Red Bull instead of Red Bulls on the crest is an interesting choice,” and “Why doesn’t it say ‘Red Bulls’? We weren’t the Newcastle Falcon.”

Another wrote: “So you’re called Newcastle Red Bull and not Red Bulls then?”

Another wrote: “There is an S missing on their badge. It says Newcastle Red Bull… Are they planning on playing with just one player on the pitch?”

Newcastle’s admin were called into action, responding to these messages on X by emphasising that the club is indeed called Newcastle Red Bulls.

This is just the latest update ahead of their PREM Rugby Cup match against Harlequins on Friday night, where director of rugby Steve Diamond will have the first chance to assess his rebuilt squad ahead of their first game of the Gallagher PREM season against Saracens at Kingston Park on September 26.

Newcastle have also ramped up their recruitment drive ahead of their first match, with the triple signing of Harrison Obatoyinbo, Joel Grayson and Sam Waugh coming a day after the deal to bring Christian Wade back to rugby union was announced.

Rugby's Greatest Rivalry deep dive - what has happened to the All Blacks’ scrum?

Alot of people have talked about how the AB's are making progress and getting closer to the Boks. Its also important to ask where the net gain has been. In 4 games under Razor the AB's attack failed dismally and struggled to score tries. The Boks outscored them comprehensively. Even so the All Blacks led for long periods in Joburg and Cape Town in 24. They lost each game by one score. They led all the way in Auckland and led for a quarter of the match in Wellington. Razors team always lost control in the final quarter of matches against the boks where the Boks bench completely overpowered them.

Under Rennie the AB's have scored plenty of tries, more than the Boks, they have rediscovered their attacking threat but they have regressed in other areas. Their scrum has totally capitulated, their lineout has been hammered, they are turning the ball over more at break down and in the tackle. They are making mistakes within their attacking template that has cost them and presented the Boks opportunities and so their defence has suffered with the Boks making hay in the last 3 games outscoring them in terms of tries and pts during that period. They have conceded 2 and 3 score leads in the last 3 matches heading into the final quarter. At Cape Town it was 16 points, Soweto 12 pts and in the US 15 pts. The Boks established control of Rennies team earlier and led for longer with AB's forced to chase games. They won the second half in Ellis Park comprehensively and the final quarters in the next 2 matches matches but little else illustrating the lack of control for the AB's.
