Newcastle United and adidas have revealed the club’s 2025/26 season third kit – melding retro and modern styles to honor one of the club’s most iconic jerseys.

Drawing inspiration from the legendary 1997/98 third kit, the design showcases a vibrant mix of burnt orange and deep green on a rich navy base – a modern twist on a cult favorite.

Designed with both collectors and modern fans in mind, the shirt is sure to turn heads on and off the pitch.

The kit revives the embroidered adidas trefoil logo for a nostalgic feel and features a stitched Newcastle crest, along with traditional adidas EQT flat-knit collar and cuffs. Completing the ensemble are navy shorts and socks, both highlighted by the iconic three stripes and a vivid orange trefoil for extra style.

Peter Silverstone, Newcastle United’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “This third kit is a powerful blend of past and present – a bold design that reflects both our proud history and the exciting journey ahead.

“There’s a real pride in wearing the trefoil – a symbol that connects generations of fans

and players,” he added. “Our passionate global fanbase will see this and wear it with pride, especially as we return to the UEFA Champions League for the second time in three years.”

While the kit pays homage to a memorable design, the 1997/98 season it references was anything but glorious for Newcastle on the pitch.

Under then-manager Kenny Dalglish, the Magpies struggled to a 13th-place finish in the Premier League, exited the Champions League at the group stage, and fell to Arsenal in the FA Cup final. Even Alan Shearer, the club’s legendary No. 9, endured a difficult year, scoring just seven goals in all competitions after an injury-hit campaign.

This time around, however, Eddie Howe will be hoping that history doesn’t repeat itself. With Newcastle preparing for a return to European competition in 2025/26, the club will be aiming to pair their sharp new look with performances worthy of the shirt.
