The Shimag Has Become A Hot Commodity In Newcastle At The Moment
If you’ve seen the way the city of Newcastle has been celebrating Saudi’s PIF-led takeover, one thing’s for sure, our very own shimag has become rather popular. Fans have been flooding the internet with photos of them wearing it. Many are not getting it right though (that’s not how we wear it here), but with practice, they’ll get there.
Soon you would probably see that fans watching Newcastle’s matches in the stadium would be wearing the shimag.
