During their Carabao Cup clash against Everton, Newcastle United showcased an alternative look for their 26-27 Adidas third kit by pairing the light lilac jersey with dark purple shorts. Rather than using the default tone-on-tone lilac shorts, the Magpies swapped them for the darker alternative that matches the collar, shoulder stripes, and crest detailing, providing a sharper contrast on the pitch that was widely praised by kit fans.
