Wonga and Newcastle United agree to remove logo on some kit

Wonga Group ('Wonga') has announced that it has been agreed with Newcastle United to remove the Wonga logo from all children's replica shirts and training wear from the earliest possible opportunity which, owing to kit production schedules, will be from the start of the 2016/17 Season.

This follows Wonga Chairman Andy Haste's commitment, on his appointment in July, to review all the company's marketing to ensure that none of it could inadvertently appeal to the very young or vulnerable.

Wonga has already ended its 'puppets' advertising campaign.
