Newcastle United tease 'exclusive' St James' Park event - Premier League rivals Aston Villa follow suit
Newcastle United have teased a new Adidas range that will be released next week.
Newcastle United’s partnership with Adidas will produce yet another range this month, after several teases by the club.
Newcastle’s matchday programme against Nottingham Forest on Sunday featured a dedicated page showing the Adidas Spezial logo along with the caption: “A capsule collection reflecting the culture that surrounds the beautiful game.”
The page also featured the date ‘16.10.25’ and ‘St. James’ Park’ - teasing a special event at Newcastle’s home stadium on October 16.
Adidas Spezial signage has also been put up in the club shop window at St James’ Park while The Magpies’ official Instagram account has teased the event with an image showing Spezial logos on the seats at the stadium along with the caption: “ADIDAS SPZL F.C. x NEWCASTLE UNITED. A collection channelling the pulse of the terraces. Exclusive in-store event October 16th, stay tuned for details.”
Newcastle and Adidas have partnered up to produce several ranges since their partnership started in the summer of 2024. Several ranges of kits, sportswear, clothing and even shoes have been released as part of the partnership.
The St James’ Park event later this month is set to coincide with the release of a new Newcastle and Adidas range, including limited-edition footwear and apparel.
A retro theme has also been hinted at with Newcastle using its old 1976-1983 magpie club crest as part of its promotion at the club store.

Newcastle United’s Premier League rivals tease Adidas Spezial range
But Newcastle aren’t the only Premier League side teasing such a range.
Aston Villa have also teased the release of an ‘ADIDAS SPZL F.C. x ASTON VILLA’ collection on October 16 with similar promotional material.
Scottish Premiership side Celtic are also set to release a Spezial collection, but have not teased it online, with the club’s promotional campaign limited to an image on the stadium screen at Parkhead with the Spezial logo 16.10.25 rather than anything online. The promotion comes amid supporter unrest directed at the owners of the Scottish champions.

Newcastle United’s successful partnership with Adidas increases financial growth
Newcastle’s partnership with Adidas is understood to the biggest commercial deal in the club’s history and has helped increase revenue behind the scenes.
It was initially estimated the deal would be worth upwards of £30million per-season for Newcastle though the official figures are yet to be released, but will be made public when the club releases its accounts for the 2024/25 season.
Outgoing chief executive officer Darren Eales claimed Newcastle’s revenue will be in excess of £400million this season, marking ‘unprecedented’ growth for the club on the financial front.
"In terms of revenue, we have gone from £140m in 2021 to the coming season because we are in the Champions League, it is going to be well north of £400million,” Eales told the club website.
