There’s an interesting and exclusive article in footyheadlines on what the Adidas deal that Newcastle secured some months ago will mean with our new strips.
At the moment there is some discontent about the strips from Castore, but starting next season Newcastle will have Adidas as their new worldwide company supplying the football strips.
Newcastle had Adidas as the stip provider until 2010, and at that time there was little ambition coming from former owner Mike Ashley at Newcastle about anything other than staying in the Premier League, and we ended up with Castore as the strip provider.
But the Adidas deal is a much better deal for everything, including our commercial revenue.
The deal has been reported by the Telegraph as being worth £40M a year over 5 years, and that’s an eight-fold increase on the £5M a year we are currently getting from Castore.
That’s a great deal secured by our new executive team at the club.
In their exclusive report, footyheadlines say that Newcastle will become an elite team at the company, and that means we will get exclusive designs rather than the base designs, lower profile clubs get.
It’s going to be very interesting to see what the home and away strips are like for next season, when it will be all change to Adidas and a a £35M increase in our revenue on the strips.
Here is an excerpt from their report:
“The new Adidas Newcastle United kit deal are making Newcastle United an elite team. This means that the club will receive authentic home and away kits, as part of the Elite Team range.
Newcastle United will join Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Juventus, Arsenal, Flamengo, and Manchester United as Elite Teams.”
We can’t wait until we see the new strips for next season, and the rumors are they will celebrate the strips of the 1990s when Kevin Keegan was the manager.
Alan Shearer is wearing one of those strips in the photograph above – looks like he just scored.

Comment #15Good news on the strips. Hoping that, with the new sponsorships and the champions league money, this is the beginning of the shackles coming off. Although, definitely can’t complain about the loosening of them so far.

Aye we are in good company re the elite clubs with Adidas. They know what we are and what we will become…
It’s been an absolutely incredible transformation in the 2 years since we got taken over. So much has happened in that period of time and the mind boggles where we are this time in 2 years from now. I think we will be a top 3 EPL team in that time. There will be 4 clubs that will be the real elite:
Man City
Newcastle
Arsenal
Liverpool

Comment #22So, if this vote goes ahead today, we’ll be disadvantaged compared to the rest of the EPL. For instance, there are reports that Jota might go on loan in the next window as he has been de-registered from his club which means that every club in the EPL could do a deal except us. (Not saying we actually want him).

Comment #32I usually hate the international breaks but this one was needed just to let the Lads have a few days of rest. It looks like we will have a much stronger squad than we took to Bournemouth. It sounds like we should have Barnes and Anderson back in short order as well. My concern is Botman. We k
