Newcastle United’s 08/09 away strip is … well … certainly bluer than last year’s Man City knockoff. This year they’re bluer than Everton or Chelsea and surprisingly it’s looks quite good. Props to Adidas for pushing the limits with the colours. Even Northern Rock looks ‘acceptable’ on this shirt.
The keeper shirt is yellow, which isn’t too bad either. You can buy the new kit here.

Newcastle United and Adidas made a hat trick with their kits for the 2007-08 EPL Campaign. Their design of the alternative Third kit is one for the history books. Taking the tradtional vertical stripes of the home kit, adding the blue from the away kit, the traditional three black stripes from Adidas on the sleeves, sponsor logo and Newcastle United Crest in the center and you have one of the best looking kits of all time.
This color scheme is great and really works well with each other. I would try to wear this kit as much as possible if I were management of Newcastle United, however I am nothing more than a blogger that writes about the kits, so if my opinion matters I would wear this kit often. Adidas and Newcastle United Management made it a solid three for three in their design of the kits. Great Job!

With the design of an Away kit for Newcastle United, Adidas took their newest jersey and added the solid field of baby blue. I have mentioned in previous posts that I am a big fan of this color scheme for any club, but it is a nice contrast from the traditional black and white of the home kit. Position the sponsor logo and the classic Newcastle United Crest in the center, add the traditional three stripes for Adidas down the sleeves and add some black markings and you have a kit that will be worn by one of the most respected clubs in England.
With this particular kit clubs have to be careful, it can appear to be very “busy”. Usually if it is only one color with the black markings, such as the Newcastle United away kit, then it looks great. Simplicity is key and I think Adidas and Newcastle United have made a simple, yet classic looking kit that is sure to be a fan favorite. It is already one of mine.

Over the years Newcastle United has been the club that many try to duplicate in terms of kits. Classic white and black vertical stripes have become a staple for their home kits, so why change tradition? Adidas has taken the traditional kit and applied it to their most recent jersey. Add long time sponsor “Northern Rock” to the center, the Newcastle United Crest and Adidas logo above that and you have the 2007-08 home kit for Newcastle United.
One nice touch on this kit is the collar. I have mentioned in previous posts that the traditional collar has faded away in the mix of technology and trends. However it looks especially nice on this kit as it is all black with a white trim, and goes nicely with the traditonal Adidas stripes down the sleeves. Great work on this kit from both manufacturer and club.
