Here you can check out all the Newcastle United home strips from 1996 onwards - basically the adidas collection so far. Most of the time they have came up with the goods. 1995-97

This kit really is a favourite with the fans. It's very stylish especially for it's time and the stripes seem to be just the right size. The stripe in the middle is white unlike our more current one's, which have a black stripe down the middle instead.

1997-99

We had a real downer here. Unfortunetaly this kit is very shabby indeed and there just seems to be too many stripes. It has gold trims on the round-neck and on the sleeves.

1999-01

A much improved design from the 97-99 one, this kit looks much classier. It includes blue trims which are present on the sleeves and collar. Our first choice socks were actually white, as Didier Domi shows us. The top formely had the Brown Ale sponser on but as you can see NTL took over in the kit's second season.

Here is our most recent kit, modelled by Kieron Dyer. Adidas' design for this one was pretty different to the traditional look, as they created a more modern looking strip, with the stripes a lot thicker. At first there were a few eyebrows were raised but a lot of people soon realised it's a very stylish kit indeed. The black and white socks also look good. There are no third coloured trims or anything anywhere.

OK, these might just be drawings of the new home strip but I can assure you that they're 100% accurate. It's back to the more traditional look this time and the top displays the new club sponser 'Northern Rock'. The colours on the sponser shown above are exactly the colours on it in real life.
