Newcastle United has officially released their 2025/26 home kit manufactured by adidas, featuring a distinctive interpretation of the club’s traditional black and white stripes. The new design incorporates a shepherd’s check pattern, representing a departure from conventional vertical striping while maintaining the iconic color scheme that has defined the Magpies for generations.
The Newcastle United adidas 2025/26 home kit debuts this Sunday when the team faces Everton at St. James’ Park, marking the first competitive appearance of the new strip. The timing of the release allows supporters to see the kit in action during a crucial Premier League fixture at the club’s home ground, providing an immediate showcase for the updated design elements.
The new Newcastle United shirt’s most notable feature is the integration of shepherd’s check patterning with Newcastle’s historic vertical stripes, creating what the club describes as a “fresh twist on the legendary black and white stripes.” This northern England motif pays homage to regional heritage while modernizing the visual identity. The design maintains the recognizable black and white color palette that has been synonymous with Newcastle United throughout their history.
Completing the ensemble, black shorts and socks feature adidas’s signature three-stripes branding alongside clean white NUFC detailing.
Newcastle United’s 25/26 adidas home kit displays a full-color club crest positioned prominently on the chest, serving as the primary visual identifier for the team. Additionally, the phrase “Howay the Lads” appears on the back of the neck, incorporating local dialect and fan culture directly into the kit design.
Newcastle United will wear this adidas home kit throughout their 2025/26 campaigns across multiple competitions, including Premier League matches, European tournament fixtures in either the UEFA Champions League or Europa Cup, FA Cup rounds, and EFL Cup games.
