Adidas accidentally leak Newcastle United third strip for 2025-26 season
Adidas appear to have accidentally leaked Newcastle United’s third shirt for the 2025-26 campaign - or was this done on purpose?
Adidas appear to have gone early and revealed Newcastle United’s third strip for the 2025-26 campaign.
Images released on the German sports giant’s website shows Toon skipper Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon wearing a sleek blue design with orange trim. The shirt - which is identical to the one leaked on social media last week - also displays the Adidas trefoil badge.
Uniquely, a “black shield” behind the club crest is a nod towards Newcastle’s 1997-98 kit. The Magpies have already released the 2025-26 home shirt, wearing the new design on the final day of the season against Everton.
However, the club have been silent on the upcoming away and third kit releases. A message - whether deliberately or not - on the Adidas website reads: “Step into the future of football fashion with the Newcastle United FC 25-26 Third Jersey. This jersey is a modern tribute to the iconic 97-98 Away kit, featuring a striking combination of navy, orange and deep green.”
At the time of writing, there appears to be no option on the Adidas website to buy the jersey. However, like the home shirt, a long-sleeve option is available - with Guimaraes proudly donning the popular alternative.
Prices are expected to be identical to the home shirt - £85 for the standard release or £120 for the “authentic” design. Adding a Champions League badge will set customers back an extra £10.
Eddie Howe’s men are gearing up for their second campaign at Europe’s top table in three seasons. An exciting chapter of the post-takeover era will also see the Magpies aim to defend the Carabao Cup - with March’s historic triumph over Liverpool ending 70 years of domestic hurt.
