Newcastle United's official kit manufacturers Castore have teased the imminent release of the club's home kit for the 2022/2023 season. Supporters are eagerly awaiting the release of the new strip after numerous leaks emerged on social media.
On their official Instagram account, Castore posted a moving image, hinting at a black and blue theme, with the caption: "COMING SOON... The @nufc 22/23 Home Kit #BetterNeverStops."
Recent social media leaks show the Newcastle home kit adorned with a blue Castore emblem on top of thick black and white stripes. Twitter user 'Retro NUFC posted images of all three kits on the social media platform, stating they were the "best set of photos" they had been sent.

While the home kit promises to be similar to years gone by, the away strip has garnered some unwanted attention with the links to Saudi Arabia. The white and green away kit has drawn comparisons to the Saudi national team jersey, prompting backlash.
Eddie Howe recently discussed the issue, saying: "I'm aware of the criticisms. I think from my perspective it's not something I've had any control over.
"We were very aware when we went to Saudi Arabia that the interest in Newcastle is huge. I know I'm making an assumption here but our kit manufacturers have probably acknowledged that and hence why we've ended up where we are."
Last year's home kit was unveiled on July 10 2021 but this season's edition could now be on display earlier this summer.
