Newcastle are yet to unveil their new kit for the 2021/22 Premier League season. They still haven’t confirmed that Castore will be replacing Puma.

While communication continues to fall flat at St James’ Park, rumours are beginning to swirl around social media about the new strips.

It has been reported for a long time that Castore will be becoming the new kit manufacturer, but the deal is yet to be announced.

They have been confirmed as Wolves’ new provider, while they made the Rangers kits that Steven Gerrard’s side wore this season on route to the Scottish title.

Potential new strips have been doing the rounds on Twitter over the past 24 hours, receiving mixed reviews from supporters.

Personally, I think the alleged home kit is too white. But the blue away one is very smart, while the black jersey is very similar to the third kit from 2017/18 – which isn’t a bad thing.

But there is nothing to suggest that these are the official kits. As it stands, we don’t know when the new strips will be unveiled.

With the way the club are communicating right now, there’s every chance that we won’t see the new shirt until the players line up on the opening day against West Ham.

What will the new Newcastle kit look like?

But Matthew Ketchell, who works for Reach PLC and hosts a 90s football podcast called ‘Searching for Shineys’, has dropped an exciting claim about the new Newcastle kit on Twitter.

A grandad neck is certainly an exciting prospect for nostalgia fans out there.

One of the Magpies’ most famous kits had that kind of collar – the home shirt worn between 1995 and 1997.

If the new kit has a similar style, there will certainly be a buzz about Castore’s Toon debut.

A new spin on a retro classic normally goes down well with supporters. The maroon and navy hoops that returned in 2018 were very popular.

Of course, we do not know if the kit seen by Ketchell will prove to be the actual one.

But there is a lot of pressure on Castore to deliver something decent for their first Newcastle shirt. Putting a modern spin on a retro jersey wouldn’t be the worst idea.
