Geordies score: Newcastle United unveils range of monochrome lingerie

Newcastle United have become the latest football club to launch their very own line of lingerie.

The range, in the team's black and white stripes, include briefs, stockings, suspender belts, bras and camisoles.

The Toon Army have signed a deal with football-related underwear specialists Premier Lingerie to stock official club shops with special underwear emblazoned with the team's logo.

Stuart Middlemiss, Newcastle United's head of retail, said: 'This is something which a lot of other clubs have been exploring.

' We are keen to see how Newcastle fans take to the club-branded lingerie.'

The deal sees the Geordies become the second Barclays Premier League club to stock lingerie in their club shops.



Wolverhampton Wanderers were the first to sign up last Christmas, and now Premier Lingerie is in talks with other clubs.

Championship side West Ham famously launched limited Katy Perry lingerie in 2009 after the singer turned up at the MTV Awards sporting underwear in the club's colours - a tribute to her boyfriend and Hammers fan Russell Brand.

Paul Robinson, director of Premier Lingerie, said: 'We're delighted to be working with Newcastle United.



'It's such a big club and has a massive fan base, not only in the north east but across the country and further afield.

' We've had a great reaction at Wolves so I'm confident that they'll also be a hit with Newcastle fans.'

Bridging the gap: Women now make up about 20 per cent of football supporters but only three to five per cent of club merchandise is aimed at them

Paul added: 'Women now make up about 20 per cent of football supporters but only three to five per cent of club merchandise is aimed at them.



'A lot of clubs simply stock pink t-shirts with the club's logo on them - that's not good enough.



'Not enough clubs are doing anything sassy for their female fans, so that's where we're helping.



'The only other club outside of the Premier League who actually sell lingerie are Real Madrid in Spain.



'Major clubs in England such as Chelsea and Manchester United don't stock lingerie in their club shops.'

In the past two years Midlands-based Premier Lingerie has developed an exclusive range of lingerie for female supporters.



The range includes a variety of styles produced in club colours, and adorned with official insignia.
