Amazing Newcastle United 22-23 Pre-Match Shirt Released
Interestingly, the Premier League has ruled that all three new Castore Newcastle United 22-23 football shirts will clash with Brighton's home shirt, which features blue and white stripes. This means that Newcastle United was granted a special permission to wear a light blue shirt, which was originally a pre-match jersey for this season.

What makes it outstanding is the graphic design. It features local landmarks such as Theatre Royal, Millennium Bridge, Tyne Bridge, and St. Nicholas’ Cathedral, and, of course, St James’s Park.
The design is a clear nod to the iconic Adidas Newcastle 1996-97 goalkeeper shirt which featured a silhouette of the River Tyne skyline.
