The light blue shirt, dark denim shorts and light blue socks are a nod to the 'Cambridge blue' jerseys once worn by Newcastle East End FC - the club that became Newcastle United after absorbing city rivals West End FC in 1892.

The Magpies will mark the 125th anniversary of that historic event this year and the kit is adorned with a special commemorative crest.

And it went on sale at www.nufcdirect.com and in the stadium store on Tuesday morning. Shirts are priced at £54.99 for adults and £39.99 for children's sizes.
