History of Newcastle United Kit Deals

The club’s journey began when Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End joined to form Newcastle United by putting aside their differences in 1892. The club stayed with in- house manufacturing until 1976. Their first commercial kit deal started with Bukta in 1976/80. Following the contracts with Umbro and Asics, then came the iconic era, the Entertainers legacy in 1995, when the club signed a partnership with Adidas worth £4 million per year that lasted until 2010. After dealing with Puma and Castore from 2010/21 and 2021/24, respectively, Newcastle United is reunited with Adidas, worth more than £30 million per year.
