‘Outstanding’ - Newcastle United release fresh Adidas design that has left supporters speechless

Newcastle United supporters were left gobsmacked after the club’s media channel released footage of Eddie Howe donning sleek Adidas training gear.

The Toon boss repped a black tracksuit with grey trim on his first day back in action. Newcastle players - barring those recently representing their countries - returned to pre-season training yesterday ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

The Magpies are looking to regain momentum following an underwhelming season last year. Injuries ravaged a campaign that promised excitement as Champions League football returned to St James’ Park.

Despite the downsides, 2023-24 had its highlights, most notably emphatic wins over Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Sunderland. Fans are now eagerly awaiting the new season as Euro 2024 approaches its climax this weekend.

They can expect Newcastle to be kitted out in Adidas next season after club officials agreed a multi-year deal worth around £40million. The German sports giant supplied the Magpies with iconic designs between 1995 and 2010 - with that relationship now renewed.

Hundreds of Newcastle fans queued outside of the temporary pop-up shop once the 2024-25 home shirt went on sale last month. The away and third kits are yet to be released but supporters are also excited for non-football-shirt releases.

Adidas are known to create stylish attire for everyday use, with Newcastle-related hoodies, t-shirts and jackets yet to be announced. But fans were given a glimpse of what is to come when the club’s media channel posted a picture of Howe.

The 46-year-old was all smiles as he conducted his first training session of the campaign - wrapped in a neat tracksuit as Tyneside continues to be hit by breezy July weather. Judging by the reaction on social media, the design has proven a hit with supporters.

“Now that’s training gear I can get on board with,” one comment read. Another posted: “Sell me this jacket immediately!”
