The Premier League has ruled that all three of Newcastle’s shirts (home- black and white, away- blue with gold trim, third – white with green trim) will clash with Brighton’s blue and white home shirt.
Therefore Newcastle will wear a special one-off shirt on Saturday which will be pale blue and feature a skyline of the city as shown in the Twitter post below. This shirt will also be used as a warm-up shirt in the future.
Representing our city. ??#NUFC will wear a special one-off Castore shirt adorned with the Tyneside skyline when we face Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

Here is a statement from the club confirming this special shirt:
Newcastle United will wear a special one-off Castore shirt adorned with the Tyneside skyline during this week’s Premier League trip to Brighton.
The Premier League has ruled that the Magpies’ three new 2022/23 Castore kits – black and white, navy blue and white respectively – will all clash too closely with Brighton’s blue-and-white-striped home kit.
Accordingly, Newcastle United has gained special dispensation from the Premier League to wear a sky-blue jersey that features the silhouette of St. James’ Park and several city landmarks – including the world-famous Tyne Bridge – teamed with black shorts and socks.
The shirt will ordinarily be worn as a warm-up shirt by the players on matchdays but will feature FUN88, noon.com and Premier League branding for the trip to the Amex Stadium.
Newcastle will take on Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday at 3pm. The Seagulls picked up an impressive three points with a 2-1 win at Manchester United last weekend. They currently sit one place below us in sixth in the Premier League table.

Stringer Bell! That was it
I actually didn’t know Dominic West either so was surprised when I found out he was English also.
That’s class that he pretended he was from Brooklyn, I wonder how long he kept that going before he revealed the truth.
One of the best series ever

Comment #46I look back on what our owners did in January and just trust their judgement.
If someone had told me this time last year that we would be spending over 100 million and buying Brazilian internationals !

Comment #47Peter, loved him in Boston Legal, they were all as mad as a box of frogs, him and old Captain Kirk hamming it up on the balcony scenes. Watched all of Blacklist too, by now I think he should be controlling the entire criminal world. 😉

Exactly matey!
I’m not worried…

Life as Newcastle United fan is blissful these days and I feel very fortunate to have such owners at our club and the future they are going to build.
Onwards and upwards

Number of Premier League clubs interested in Marseille striker Bamba Dieng. He fears game time will be cut with Alexis Sanchez arriving. 2 years left on contract. Was offered to #NUFC in Jan. Part of Senegal AFCON winning squad. #BambaDieng #Marseille

I haven’t mate.
I must admit that i was put off by the title, which may seem odd, but…
It’s from rhyming slang, to mean potless.
But the word is actually borasic, as in borasic lint-skint.
So brassic just didn’t scan.

Comment #56Mund, did you see the transcript from the TalkSport show between Souness and that knacker who’s always on (can’t remember his name he’s so relevant). They were criticising the “new owners” for giving Eddie a contract extension after “only 6 Months”, saying he’s virtually done nowt yet and still had 2 years on original contract. Blaming the “not football people” owners.
What planet are they on? Is Ashworth not a football person?
Spouting crap and getting paid for it – giz a job!! 😆

James Spader is an excellent actor. Boston Legal was brilliant. I was gutted when it ended. Think Spader is from Boston as well, so he got a good gig there.

I agree, it wouldn’t make any sense. But I very much doubt that there is any truth in it. We will have to accept that allot of ITK wannabee’s and trash journalist will link us with every player imaginable, from the very exciting ones to the… Well… Not so exciting ones. As I wrote earlier, I have gotten to a point where the fun with all the fake rumors have stopped. Fair enough for those that still get a kick out of it, but this will go on and on and on.

Comment #73Was thinking Paqueta might actually be 3rd choice on wor Eddies list. Diaby says he’s staying in Germany so we move on to Maddison. Leicester wanting too much for him so we find ourselves back at Lyon. Maybe!
If there’s any semblance of truth in that timeline and we end up with Paqueta. I’d be pretty well over the moon landing a 33 times capped Brazilian international. 😆

Comment #75Bob, that’s shocking out of Souness but not surprising. He’s a nasty bastard who quietly despises nufc. He said we’re not a “proper football club” like Rangers.
Tell that to the Forest fans who were there at the weekend. Utter gowl of a man.
