Newcastle United fans are counting down the days until their new Adidas kits are launched.
The Magpies are preparing to say goodbye to Castore at the end of the season, as Adidas return to Tyneside.
There is a lot of excitement behind the scenes at St James’ Park over the Adidas deal, which is going to earn the club around £30million-a-year.
The partnership is going to be massive for the club in terms of revenue, and Newcastle United are braced for a huge increase in demand when their new kits are launched.
It will not be long, with the home kit set to come out in June, but it appears that all three of the Magpies’ new Adidas strips have actually been leaked.
Newcastle United’s new Adidas kits ‘leaked’
Footy Headlines and Gallowgate Shots have provided details of what the three new kits are going to look like, believing they are 95% accurate.
It was previously rumoured that the away kit will be heavily influenced by an iconic kit from the 90s – the navy and burgundy hoops.
That jersey will be extremely popular, as will the third kit if the rumours are true.
Third Newcastle kit catches pundit’s eye
It would appear that all three of Newcastle United’s upcoming Adidas kits are based on previous shirts they made for the Magpies back in the day.
The home one looks a lot like what they had in the early 2000s, back when NTL was the sponsor.
The away kit is as expected with those iconic hoops, but it is perhaps the third one that is the most interesting.
It is based on the away shirt that Newcastle wore in 1999/2000, while it also has influence from the 80s. The shirt will have a different Newcastle United badge, reverting back to the crest that the club used from 1983 until 1988.
Adidas appear to have created a brilliant hybrid, and it has really caught the eye of Toon fan and former Premier League player Don Hutchison.
He has tweeted a picture of the kit on X, writing: “If true. I love the nod to the 80s. A strip I had as a kid. NUF upside down C.”
A brilliant nod to Newcastle’s past
Newcastle United and Adidas belong together. There is a huge amount of nostalgia when it comes to the pair, and Adidas are tapping into that.
They are relying on their history with Newcastle as they restart their partnership, and that is a brilliant decision.
These three kits are absolutely outstanding, and they will be incredibly popular with the Toon Army – assuming the leaks are like the real thing.
Newcastle need to increase their revenue, and you can guarantee they will do that with the number of kits they are going to sell!
