Back in August 2023, we discovered (see below) that Adidas would be back as kit supplier to Newcastle United for this (2024/25) season.
The ‘leak’ made via an Amazon Prime NUFC documentary episode ‘accidentally’ made available to be viewed, before later being removed.
The Amazon Prime ‘leak’ indicating that Adidas and Newcastle United would be back together for the first time since 2010.
So what about this season overall though?
Listed below are who each of the 20 Premier League clubs are now with for the 2024/25 season, in brackets are the PL clubs each kit supplier had last season in 2023/24)
Adidas:
Seven – Arsenal, Aston Villa, Fulham, Leicester, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest (Four – Arsenal, Fulham, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest)
Castore:
One – Everton (Three – Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Wolves)
Umbro
Four – Bournemouth, Brentford, Ipswich, West Ham (Five – Bournemouth, Brentford, Burnley, Luton, West Ham_
Nike
Four – Brighton, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham (Four – Brighton, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham)
Puma:
Two – Manchester City, Southampton (One – Manchester City)
Macron:
One – Crystal Palace (One – Crystal Palace)
Errea:
None (One – Sheffield United)
SUDU:
One -Wolves (None)
Hummel:
None (One – Everton)
The main story here, is surely what looks a bit of a disaster for Castore.
To have Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Wolves, then lose them all in one go, then end up with just Everton to replace that trio, not much of a consolation prize!
Interesting of course as well to see Adidas once again becoming the dominant force, increasing their presence from four to seven Premier League clubs. Plus they now include all of Newcastle United, Man U, Arsenal and Villa.
The Mag – 19 August 2023
‘Adidas is set to be the new Newcastle United kit partner.
The German company going to replace Castore.
The news was leaked inadvertently by Amazon Prime earlier on Saturday.
They are currently showing the ‘This is Newcastle United’ documentary and episode two (of four) was released at midnight on Thursday.
However, earlier today episodes three and four were mistakenly added by Amazon Prime, before being quickly deleted.
In episode four the Adidas revelation revealed.
Amanda Staveley, Abdulmajid Ahmed Alhagbani, Darren Eales, Mehrdad Ghodoussi and Peter Silverstone seen flying out to close the deal with Adidas.
Claimed to be the biggest commercial deal ever done by Newcastle United, the narrator declaring that it could generate hundreds of millions of pounds for NUFC.
Adidas will replace Castore at the end of this season, so the 2024/25 kits will be when Adidas kick back off with Newcastle United.
The vast majority of Newcastle fans view Adidas as responsible for some of the best ever kits and they partnered NUFC for 15 years from 1995 to 2010.
Mike Ashley then moving the club to Puma from 2010 to 2021, before he did the deal with Castore.
The last ever Adidas kits (until 2024/25) were the ones worn in the Championship winning season of 2009/10, the likes of Jonas Gutierrez (see photo at the top) wearing the NUFC kits in that second tier campaign.’
