Castore have released the new Newcastle United home kit at long last.
The rumours and gossip over how it will look and which sponsor will brandish the famous black and white stripes were brought to an end on Wednesday morning when images of the new kit were released online.
It marks the second home kit provided by Castore as the follow in the footsteps of Asics, Adidas and Puma in designing kits for the Magpies over the last 30 years.
Very rarely is a kit met with an overwhelmingly positive response - unless it’s the Grandad neck collar effort from Adidas - and it’s safe to say that efforts by all four manufacturers have divided opinion during United’s time as a Premier League club.
NewcastleWorld takes a look back at the home shirts worn by the likes of Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Yohan Cabaye and Bruno Guimaraes during the club’s time competing alongside the elite of English football.
