The design
The shirt adopts a light blue color scheme inspired by the historic 'Cambridge blue' shirts worn in the late 19th century. The clean design is paired with dark denim shorts and light blue socks.
The details
A special commemorative crest is featured on the chest to mark a historic milestone in the club's journey.
The story
The kit pays tribute to Newcastle East End FC, who integrated with local rivals West End FC in 1892 to establish the modern club. This release marks the 125th anniversary of that merger, recalling the look of the predecessor club before the introduction of the famous black and white stripes.
