This is the Newcastle United 1996/97 Away Football Shirt by Adidas, featuring Alan Shearer #9 in the club nameset. Widely regarded as one of Newcastle's greatest away shirts, its striking light blue colour and iconic Newcastle Brown Ale sponsor have made it a cult classic among collectors and Premier League fans alike.
The design perfectly captures mid-1990s Adidas aesthetics. The shirt features a bold sky-blue base, a distinctive black-and-white chest band, ribbed V-neck collar and embroidered Newcastle United crest. The oversized Newcastle Brown Ale sponsor dominates the centre, while the classic Adidas Equipment-era styling gives the shirt a timeless retro appeal. It's a design that remains one of the most recognisable away kits in English football history.
The 1996/97 season was Newcastle's first under club legend Kenny Dalglish, following Kevin Keegan's departure midway through the campaign. Despite the managerial change, Newcastle finished second in the Premier League for a second consecutive season and reached the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, securing another qualification for the Champions League. It was another successful chapter during one of the club's strongest eras of the modern game.
This shirt is printed with Alan Shearer #9, Newcastle's record goalscorer and one of the greatest strikers in Premier League history. Having completed his then world-record transfer from Blackburn Rovers in the summer of 1996, Shearer scored 25 league goals in his debut campaign despite missing part of the season through injury. His powerful finishing, aerial dominance and leadership quickly made him the face of his hometown club, where he would go on to score 206 goals for Newcastle and become a true St James' Park legend.
For collectors, few Newcastle shirts carry as much historical significance as this one. Combining the iconic sky-blue away design with the legendary Shearer #9 nameset and classic Newcastle Brown Ale sponsor, it represents one of the defining kits of the Premier League's golden era and remains one of the most sought-after Newcastle shirts ever produced.
