- Adidas Prototypes: Adidas created prototype Newcastle United kits from the early 2000s to 2009, which were never released due to Puma taking over kit manufacturing in 2010.
- Unveiled Designs: These unreleased prototypes were recently shared online, showing various designs and color combinations from the Adidas archive.
- Specific Prototypes: The article identifies various prototypes with estimated seasons such as 2010-11, late 2000s, 2003-04, 1999-2000 or 2000-2001, and around 2002.
Newcastle United visited Adidas' global headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany, for a pre-season training camp. This visit gave us an exciting glimpse into the past, a collection of prototype Newcastle United shirts from the Adidas archive.
