The Mariners then followed that up with a tweet: “You’ve been so nice with your comments that we may even let you see the away shirt this afternoon too. Reckon that’s a good idea?”
And then emerged their away strip which also went brilliantly judging by the reaction it had received.
The away strip is mostly white with two stripes down the middle, one maroon and the other light blue.
There is also a maroon stripe along the shoulders, the crest is in it’s usual placing, the Puma logo is maroon and the Business Energy Claims logo remains white and light blue.
Go on, then. Here is your 2020-21 away kit.

The club, who were top of the Northern Premier League before the season was made null and void, have had Puma make their kits since the 2018-19 season.
The three-year agreement initially saw the first team and the academy team wearing the new playing kit and training wear, with the reserves, ladies team and junior teams phasing them in due to sponsorship commitments.
David Mitchell, the club’s Commercial Director, said: “We are delighted to sign a long-term deal with Puma in conjunction with Genesis Teamwear.
“The club is now in a key position to attract the major kit providers in sport.
“We hadn’t planned to change kit providers this season, but due to the success of the team on the pitch, we were approached by over a dozen different companies wanting us to wear their kit.
“We wanted to find a supplier who would design and manufacturer our own bespoke kit.
“With the addition of the training wear, shorts and socks, the range of merchandise that the fans will be able to buy has increased dramatically.”
South Shields’ kits for the 2018/19 season
Genesis Teamwear is a PUMA Group Company and has supplied technical kit and training wear to leading football clubs since 1995. Genesis Teamwear & PUMA are proud to partner a number of professional clubs, including Leicester City, Burnley and Huddersfield Town in the Premier League, right the way through the football pyramid.
Russell Thomas, the Head of Sales at Genesis Teamwear, said: “Everyone at Genesis Teamwear is delighted to be working with South Shields as the club’s supplier of PUMA technical kit and training wear during this fantastic period in the club’s history.
“We look forward to playing a small part in the exciting journey ahead.”

I might be a @TranmereRovers fan, but I might have to get one of those. My Dad and Grandad came from Shields so feel some ❤️ for the place. Sorry you didn’t get your promotion. You were robbed like us ?

I was hoping not white. However, this is a really nice shirt. Good designs for this year. Will there be a new training shirt as well?
— Mariner Pete (@Mariner_Pete) June 13, 2020
Amazing designs this season.

The home top is dapper. The away I’m preferring this season’s I’m afraid. Maybe it will grow on me.
