Newcastle Jets have dropped their new VIVA threads ahead of the 2017/18 A-League season.

Jets fans have their first chance to catch a glimpse of the new kits when they test their mettle against Sydney FC in a pre-season friendly today.

VIVA have designed three strips for the Jets, retaining similar colours to last season, when the club were with BLK.

The slick new home strip is dominated by a dark blue, but still includes a neat red trim throughout. 

The away strip retains last season's colours of white, blue and red. Similar to the home strip, there is a dominant colour in white, yet matched with touches of blue and red.

And finally, the iconic Newcaslte Jets gold is back for another season. A gold shirt flows onto the gold shorts, but mixed with a pair of dark blue socks.
