Newcastle United 2026/27 Adidas home kit leak: 'First official' look at controversial new design
Images of Newcastle United’s 2026/27 Adidas home shirt have been leaked on social media.
Newcastle United will not be wearing their new 2026/27 home shirt before the end of the season.
Last season, the Magpies ended the campaign by sporting the 2025/26 Adidas home shirt in their 1-0 final day defeat against Everton at St James’ Park.
It is understood that the club will wear the 2025/26 home shirt for Sunday’s final home match of the season against West Ham United before wearing an away kit for the final day against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
But images of Newcastle’s 2026/27 home shirt design have leaked on social media over the past week. While initial images showed Sela as the front of shirt sponsor, it’s understood that the club are looking for a new sponsor for the upcoming season.
Now, fresh images shared by football kit experts Footy Headlines claim to show the ‘first official image’ of Newcastle’s new home shirt.

Newcastle United 2026/27 home kit leaked
Adidas and Newcastle chiefs have gone with a distinct black stripe down through the centre of the shirt, with thinner black lines inside the white stripes on either side.
The Magpies incorporated a blue trim into this season’s home top, though next season is far more striking around the collar, shoulders and sleeves.
Crucially, the ‘official’ image has removed Sela as the club’s front-of-shirt sponsor - with a new major deal in the works.
When will Newcastle United’s 2026/27 home kit be released?
As we reported last week, Newcastle are still deciding on a new front-of-shirt sponsor. As such, the home shirt will not be released until the new commercial partner is activated over the summer.
Sela’s reported £25million-per-season deal expires this summer. It’s the most lucrative shirt sponsorship deal in the club’s history, though they are looking for an even bigger deal this summer.
Newcastle’s kit partnership with Adidas has been described as ‘the biggest’ commercial deal in the club’s hisotry and has so far produced dozens of kits and merchandise as the club looks to build its commercial revenue.
But the leaked kit design has certainly divided opinion amongst supporters, with the club moving away from its traditional black and white stripes in favour of a more unorthodox design.
