adidas and Newcastle United reveal 2025/26 third jersey - a modern tribute to the 1997/98 away kit | OneFootball

A modern tribute to the iconic 97/98 third kit, the jersey features a striking combination of burnt orange and deep green set against a navy backdrop, for a stylish take on a renowned classic and a must-have for fans and collectors.

Welcoming the embroidered trefoil adidas logo, the shirt features a stitched club crest and adidas EQT flat knit collar and cuffs. The kit is completed with navy shorts and socks, accented with signature three-stripe detailing and a clean orange trefoil sign-off for a visual statement.

The 2025/26 Newcastle United third kit will be available for purchase from 9am (BST) on Tuesday 1 July. Fans can shop online at shop.newcastleunited.com and www.adidas.co.uk/football-jerseys, or visit official club stores at St. James’ Park, the Metro Centre, Fenwick Newcastle as well as selected adidas retail locations.

To support the club’s ongoing community efforts, Newcastle United will donate £5 from every adult home, away, third, and goalkeeper shirt sold via the official club website or official NUFC stores before 31 August 2025 to the Newcastle United Foundation.

The initiative will help fund grassroots programmes and social impact projects across the North East.

Peter Silverstone, Chief Commercial Officer, at Newcastle United 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. Working closely with adidas, we’ve created something that we hope will resonate deeply with our global supporters, bringing back an iconic look with a modern twist.

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

Just as importantly, every adult shirt sold direct from the club contributes directly to our Foundation’s work across the North East, reinforcing our commitment to community impact on and off the pitch.”

adidas said: “For this season’s third kit, we wanted to bring the fans an added level of connection by combining our favourite elements of the iconic 97/98 kit, told through a modern and stylish lens. The intersection between football and fashion is continuously evolving, and this kit celebrates the colliding of these two worlds in a way that honours the club’s identity and togetherness, both in the past and for years to come.”

The on-pitch version of the jersey is constructed using advanced materials including AEROREADY to maximize air flow to keep players feeling cool, while the fan version uses sweat-wicking and absorbent materials to keep the body feeling dry, for lasting comfort on matchdays and beyond.

The 2025/26 third kit will make its debut when Newcastle United take to the pitch during their pre-season fixture against Celtic in the first ever adidas Trophy.
