In a significant nod to one of the most memorable eras in Newcastle United’s history, adidas Football has reissued the club’s classic 1995/97 home shirt. The distinctive black and white striped jersey, which features the iconic Newcastle Brown Ale sponsor logo, represents a faithful recreation of the kit worn during two of the club’s most competitive Premier League seasons.
The reissued jersey maintains all the authentic details of the original design, including the bold vertical stripes, classic adidas branding, and the Newcastle United crest. The signature three stripes of adidas run along the sleeves in black against white, while the collar features a simple white design typical of mid-1990s football shirts.
This 1995/97 kit holds special significance in Newcastle United’s history, having been worn by legendary strikers Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand during a period when the club achieved consecutive Premier League runner-up finishes. The mid-1990s represented a golden era for the Magpies, with the team playing some of the most attacking football in their history under Kevin Keegan’s management.
The attention to detail in the first Newcastle United kit of 2025 extends to the fabric and construction of the shirt. The jersey features the period-correct adidas equipment label inside the collar, and the materials closely match the original polyester blend used in the 1990s. The distinctive zig-zag pattern between the black and white stripes, visible in the product images, has been precisely replicated to maintain authenticity.
