Newcastle officially unveil new 2025-26 home kit and show off 'fresh twist' on iconic black and white design - with strip to be debuted against Everton
Newcastle have officially unveiled their new home kit for the 2025-26 season and boasted a 'fresh twist' on their iconic black and white design. The eye-catching new strip pays tribute to the club's roots with the usual vertical stripes blended with the shepherd's check - a classic northern motif. Manufacturers Adidas have also incorporated subtle blue detailing which contrasts the two main colours and features across the sleeve cuffs and collar. The authentic version of the strip features cutting-edge fabric, allowing players to perform at their peak under pressure, while the replica version includes AEROREADY technology, providing comfort for supporters on matchdays and beyond. Newcastle's 'Howay the Lads' motto has been stamped on the kit's neck. The club have pledged to donate £5 to the Newcastle United Foundation with every shirt sold via their official website or store before the end of August. The design will make its debut when Newcastle host Everton this Sunday in their final Premier League game of the season - with Champions League football on the line. In a statement, Adidas said: 'Newcastle United's black and white stripes are among the most iconic designs in football. This year, we've looked deeper into their origin to bring fans something rooted in tradition, yet bold and new. 'The shepherd's check adds a unique layer of storytelling, connecting supporters more closely to the club's identity.' Highlighting the campaign for the club's foundation, Peter Silverstone, Newcastle's chief commercial officer, added: 'This season's kit launch is about more than just what our players wear on the pitch – it's about supporting our community. 'For every shirt sold through official club channels, we'll be donating £5 to the Newcastle United Foundation. 'It's a way for supporters to not only wear the badge with pride, but to directly contribute to the life-changing work the Foundation does across the region. Together, we're making a difference – on and off the pitch.' The jersey will go on sale from May 29 from Adidas, the club's website and retailers. Meanwhile, Newcastle recently announced controversial plans to redesign the club's badge for the 2026-27 season, risking a backlash from supporters. Figures at St James' Park believe the crest, which dates back to 1988, is unsuited for the modern day and the club have begun working with designers. Supporters have also been consulted ahead of the rebrand. The new image, once confirmed, will be the fourth crest worn by Newcastle players since the 1950s.

Earlier we asked what you made of Sunderland's dramatic conclusion to the second leg of the play-off semi-final against are a selection of the views we If the boys do get promoted, then they've deserved it. Even if they only stay there for one season, so be it. It's the experience they've wanted and battled for. Howay the lads!Rob: God knows how we managed to get there but we did. Two teams with shocking Wembley results - should be Fantastic finish but we only came alive in the second half of extra time. We need to be more positive in the final and leave Isidor on the bench in favour of a Loudest crowd I've heard. Roaring SAFC on till the very end. Players step up on nights like this and Ballard stood on our shoulders and delivered. Thank you Not the best performance but I feel we deserve to be in the Prem more so than a long-ball/long-throw team like Coventry. As a southern Sunderland fan with little affinity to my hometown, the club is how me and my brother have always related to our ancestry and family in the north east. It's my identity, my home. My dad wouldn't let me support another team when I was a kid, even when I tried - and I'm so glad now that he didn' A brilliant and controlled two-leg performance by Sunderland. Some hairy moments but thoroughly deserved the win. Dan Ballard was superb upon his return to the team, capping it all perfectly with his last-gasp goal. Howay the Lads!Michael H: Absolutely buzzing, Ballard worthy of scoring the winner. The team were brilliant over the two legs, as were the fansBob: My son and I set off at 3.30 from South Manchester to go to the match. Closures of the M60 and then the M62 meant that we never made it. Gutted, the atmosphere at the SoL looked electric, really wished we could have been there. Not the same watching on TV but still did a lap of the house when we Very disappointed in the performance but another smash and grab. We looked tired and out of ideas but roll on Wembley, a game that could change I didn't see that coming. I think it goes to show what a determined bunch of players Sunderland actually possess. To have that sort of end to a season and still being able to go and beat a team like Coventry over two legs is a massive accomplishment. You never know what to expect as a Sunderland supporter. Sheffield United I feel are a class above Coventry however, it's going to a tough tough game in the final but hopefully we can overcome the challenge and make it back to the Premier League after way too long What an achievement to get to Wembley. Whatever happens, Regis Le Bris and the players have been fantastic this season. One final push from the lads and you will all be Absolutely over the moon for the fans in The Stadium of Light - what a way to We played a dangerous game - the best team lost but we stayed in the game and scored an incredible last-gasp winner. Too often on the wrong end of last-gasp winners. Haway me bonny lads!
