Released with the usual slick marketing video, the kit showcases stars such as Joelinton, Sandro Tonali and Jacob Murphy all posing in the dual-crested strip, but most eyes weren't on the players.
Instead, the attention was drawn to what fans are calling a colour and design problem.
The club's classic crest is displayed on the left side of the chest and a second, more modernised badge, embossed below the neck.
Social media exploded within minutes of the reveal with some supporters joking the Magpies are "tilting towards green and adding badges".
Others were more baffled than amused, with one X user writing: "Can someone explain why we're wearing two badges? We only need one identity."
Another added: "When do Chelsea get their Saudi kit too? Just curious since PIF seem to pay them more attention than us these days."
Then a third fan said: "I wonder why we suddenly have green away kits the last few years."

Club sources say the dual-badge design is a nod to "the past and the future" with the traditional crest symbolising heritage and the new logo pointing towards a "bold new chapter."
But not all fans are convinced with many branding it a 'gimmick' and urging the club to 'stop fixing what's not broken'.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe gives update on Alexander Isak's Liverpool transfer
Despite the online backlash, early sales report suggests the shirt is flying off the shelves — proof perhaps that controversy still sells in football fashion.
Some fans also took the chance to ask about their striker Alexander Isak, who Sunsports understands wants to join Liverpool.
The prolific striker has asked the club to allow him to explore other options.
There is a huge chance that Isak could leave Newcastle this summer with a host of clubs in the Premier League and Europe monitoring his situation.

Roy Keane won't be exposed to hostility while on pundit duty
A 43-year-old Arsenal fan was convicted of headbutting Keane at a match at the Emirates Stadium in 2023, while the former Manchester United midfielder clashed with Ipswich supporters at Portman Road last season. But Keane, 54, has renewed his contract as a pundit with the broadcaster and will be at Old Trafford for United's opening game of the season against Arsenal on Sunday. Sky's chief sports officer Jonathan Licht said: 'It's our responsibility to make sure we don't expose any of our team to those sorts of incidents. 'He loves being part of the big games and we hope that will continue long into this deal.' Keane will once again form part of Sky's Premier League coverage this season along with the likes of Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards. 'Roy is a great guy, you want him on your team,' added Gary Hughes, director of football at Sky Sports. 'He's had a few incidents in the last couple of seasons, with Arsenal and Ipswich, and it does affect him. 'But ultimately he wants to be involved in the biggest games. He wants to be at Old Trafford for Manchester United against Arsenal.'

Liverpool would not cruise to title even with Alexander Isak
The Reds won the league by 10 points last season and have since splurged almost £300million on new signings. They have also had a £110m offer for Isak turned down by Newcastle, but the Sweden striker's future is still up in the air. Asked whether he thought Liverpool were likely to end up successful in their pursuit of Isak, Sky Sports pundit and former Reds defender Carragher said: 'Yeah, I think so, but I don't get this narrative of Liverpool are going to run away with it.' Carragher pointed to Liverpool's Community Shield defeat by Crystal Palace as evidence that the likes of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike will take time to click. 'If you look at history, it could tell you that it's not just about having the best players, it's about having the best team, and sort of making that balance right, and at the weekend it didn't quite look right,' he said. 'I think we will have a title race, and I think there's a lot of talk. I think the great thing about football is what we actually saw on Sunday with Liverpool. It didn't look right. 'It tells me it's not just about spending lots of money and buying the best players, you've still got to manage that team and make it work and have a nice balance to it.' However, former Manchester United full-back Gary Neville believes landing Isak would make Liverpool big favourites to retain the title. 'Liverpool won it really comfortably last year and have had a great transfer window,' he said at the launch of Sky Sports' Premier League coverage. 'If they get Isak, which it looks like he's agitating for a move, then it will make them massive favourites. But Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, I think will push them closer than last year.'
