Newcastle United confirm 'debut' will be made against Wolverhampton Wanderers

The shirt has proven to be extremely popular with supporters with the design a throwback to 1995-96, featuring horizontal blue and red stripes with a white trim.

United have donned their iconic black and white stripes in home matches against Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur, while they wore their third kit - a white, black and green colour scheme and design that resembles 199the 9-2000 away shirt - versus AFC Bournemouth.

Now the third will make its first appearance at Molineux today.

"Our renewed partnership with Newcastle United has allowed us to revisit some of the most iconic moments in the club's history,” said Inigo Turner, design director at Adidas, who returned as the club’s official kit partner on a multi-year deal this summer.

“The 1995-96 season holds a special place in the hearts of the fans, and we are proud to bring back the spirit of that era with this new away kit. We look forward to seeing the team create new memories in this classic yet contemporary design." 

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe added: “Adidas have done an amazing job with our kits, and I'm sure the new away kit will be hugely popular with players and supporters everywhere. 

"This is an iconic club built on history and the 1995-96 team was one of our most entertaining ever. I'm sure our supporters will appreciate the nod to that era and will look forward to seeing our teams wearing it on the road.”
