Newcastle Utd

Newcastle United are one of English football's most passionately supported clubs, a Tyneside institution founded in 1892 whose black and white striped home shirt is one of the most recognisable in the world. St James' Park, towering over the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, is one of the great football stadiums and the backdrop to some of the game's most electric atmospheres. The Magpies have been English league champions four times, FA Cup winners six times, and their golden era under Kevin Keegan in the mid-1990s produced a team and a set of kits that football fans everywhere remember with enormous affection. Founded in 1892, Newcastle United are based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and compete in the Premier League. They play at St James' Park, which holds around 52,000 supporters. The club are nicknamed The Magpies. Major honours include 4 First Division titles and 6 FA Cup wins. Their home colours are black and white stripes. The club was taken over by a Saudi-backed consortium in 2021. The black and white stripes of Newcastle United are one of English football's most iconic designs, worn through over 130 years of football. The 1995 to 1996 home kit, produced by Adidas in the classic stripes and worn by the Entertainers side under Kevin Keegan featuring Andy Cole, Peter Beardsley, and Les Ferdinand, is one of the most beloved shirts of the Premier League era. Later kits by Adidas, Puma, and Castore have all honoured the stripe tradition. Whatever the manufacturer or the season, the black and white stripes of St James' Park remain one of football's most powerful visual symbols.
