Newcastle United's 2024-25 home shirt ‘leaked’ - away and third shirt details also revealed

It is that time of year again when mock-up shirts begin plaguing the internet. Spring is upon us and, despite almost two months of the season remaining, supporters have begun querying what attire their teams will wear next year.

And in Newcastle United circles, that trend is no different. Those famous black-and-white stripes are unique in the upper echelons of English football, unlike the mundane blue or red of other Premier League powerhouses.

Adidas returned last year with one of the most highly-anticipated kit launches in recent times. The German sports giant produced all-time iconic jerseys during their 1995-2010 run on Tyneside so rumours of a return fuelled fierce anticipation.

Hundreds of Newcastle-daft fans lined the streets to buy the home shirt for the official release last June. There is only so much that can be done with black and white, but the away and third shirts gave Adidas room to remake legendary designs from yesteryear.

The rumour mill is rife with speculation and Newcastle fans believe they have already spotted next season’s home shirt doing the rounds. One social media user on X posted a snap of a Toon shirt that has triggered a debate among supporters.

The slick Adidas design has unprecedented “faded” stripes - a first for the magpies. While not confirmed as official, the kit looks plausible, with front-of-shirt sponsor Sela emblazoned across the centre.

NewcastleWorld does understand the away shirt will be blue and orange - a homage to the 1997-98 design. This would continue Adidas’ theme of giving older, popular kits a modern lick of paint.

It is also understood that the Magpies will return to “Saudi Arabian” green for the third shirt. Newcastle have altered between “Saudi green” and “Saudi white” since the takeover in October 2021.

Peter Silverstone opened up about Newcastle United and Adidas’ long-term vision

Newcastle’s Chief Commercial Officer, Peter Silverstone, helped broker the Adidas deal. He opened up last year about the need to expand the club’s retail range beyond replica shirts.

“If you look at retail and commercial revenues separately, then it’s pretty easy to increase your retail revenues when you don’t have any,” he said. “That’s the starting point, really. Bring retail in-house, and build a product range with Adidas, and outside of Adidas, that reflects the demands of your fans.

“Bring in product that they can buy, and then build retail revenues from there. We’ve already discussed bringing everything in-house – we will now build our own retail business. Retail is not just Adidas and kits of course. It’s caps, bags, calendars, board games, golf products – whatever the fan is willing to buy, we’ll try to find for them.

“Then you’ve got commercial revenue. Clearly, building sponsorship income is vitally important. Revenue, in general, is vitally important given the European and Premier League rules. The more we have, the more we can spend on the pitch, which is what every football club wants to do.”
