Newcastle United will wear a special one-off Castore shirt adorned with the Tyneside skyline during this week's match against Albion
The Premier League has ruled that the Magpies' three new 2022/23 Castore kits - black and white, navy blue and white respectively - will all clash too closely with Albion's blue-and-white-striped home kit.
Accordingly, Newcastle United has gained special dispensation from the Premier League to wear a sky-blue jersey that features the silhouette of St. James' Park and several city landmarks - including the world-famous Tyne Bridge - teamed with black shorts and socks.
Representing our city. 🏙️#NUFC will wear a special one-off Castore shirt adorned with the Tyneside skyline when we face Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

The shirt will ordinarily be worn as a warm-up shirt by the players on matchdays but will feature FUN88, noon.com and Premier League branding for the trip to the Amex Stadium.
The visit of Newcastle will also be the first time Dan Burn has returned to the Amex following his January transfer out of the club.
Albion received permission last season to wear their yellow and blue away kit at the Amex last season as a show of support for Ukraine following the country's invasion by Russia.
