NEWCASTLE United have turned back the clock with their new third kit - with the strip inspired by the look of the 1999/2000 season and featuring an iconic crest reimagined from the 1980s.
The kit, available now in the club store, will be worn on the pitch for the first time when the Magpies take on Yokohama F. Marinos in Tokyo on Saturday.
Peter Silverstone, Newcastle's chief commercial officer, said: “adidas has a deep understanding of Newcastle United's DNA, and that is clear to see in the design of our new third kit.
"From the use of the club's nostalgic 1980s crest, through to a design evoking Sir Bobby Robson's team at the turn of the millennium, it is an innovative approach to a classic kit.
"We look forward to seeing the team wearing it for the first time in Japan, and to seeing our fans around the world wearing their colours with pride across the exciting season ahead."
Inigo Turner, design director at adidas Football, said: “The 2024/25 third kit is a perfect blend of classic and contemporary design. We wanted to tap into the raw energy and nostalgia of the '90s, a period synonymous with both adidas EQT and the re-emergence of Newcastle United’s iconic presence on the pitch.
"This kit is a love letter to that era, blending classic design elements with a modern streetwear edge that resonates with fans of all generations.”
The shirt is available to buy online HERE or in the temporary club store at St James' Park.
