Newcastle blew their fans away when unveiling their 22/23 home kit in June 2022. Castore and the Toon stunned supporters as the Magpies returned to thinner stripes after adopting larger segments in 21/22. Their strip also had black and white sleeves and a hooped collar.

This is the third home kit that Castore has made for the Magpies. It is also arguably its best offering yet, which is fitting as manager Eddie Howe leads the Magpies back into Europe.

Newcastle United’s new 23/24 home kit is their third strip designed by Castore since the Manchester-based brand replaced Puma in 2021. The Toon negotiated the most lucrative deal in the club’s history to join the company, which also runs the club’s retail operations.

Castore pays Newcastle to supply their kits and run the Magpies’ physical and online commercial setups. While its contract with the Toon runs until 2027. So, Newcastle have a further four years left on their contract with Castore to produce the club’s new kits.

Puma had supplied Newcastle’s home, away and third kits since 2010. The German brand was also paying the Magpies for the privilege through the final years of their partnership. Newcastle’s contract with Castore has a higher total value owing to its length.
