Newcastle confirm £50m-plus deal as Ghodoussi shine in shirt with iconic image

Mehrdad Ghodoussi, Newcastle United’s co-owner, has promoted the club’s new 2023-24 home uniform on social media.

Newcastle unveiled its new black and white home kit for the 2023-24 Premier League and Champions League seasons on Friday, June 9. The shirt has a v-neck collar and a new shirt sponsor on the front in Sela.

The new’multi-year’ sponsorship agreement with the Jeddah-based events company is thought to be valued roughly £25 million per season. Noon.com continues to be the club’s sleeve sponsor, while FUN88 has moved from the front of the jersey to become Newcastle’s exclusive Asian betting partner.

Ghodoussi also shared a brief video on Instagram depicting the Angel of the North in Gateshead ‘wearing’ the new shirt as Champions League banners spread from the wings of the iconic sculpture, all to the sound of Champions League theme music. Ghodoussi tagged Newcastle United, Sela, and filmmaker Erfan Saadati in his post.

The film featured real footage of the Angel of the North, with the Newcastle outfit and Champions League banners added in ‘post-production’.

The new home shirt is available today, with the away kit and third kit for 2023-24 yet to be unveiled. Newcastle confirmed on Friday that the 2023-24 training gear is now available for purchase.

The ‘bluestone’ coloured printed striped shirt features a white Castore logo and Newcastle United badge. A black and grey striped coaches training shirt is also available which features a light green Newcastle badge and Castore logo.

Newcastle’s away kit is set to continue with the royal blue colour scheme while the third kit, also branded the ‘Saudi kit’, is set to be reversed to green with a white trim rather than the 2022-23 season’s white with a green trim colour scheme.

It’s less than a month until Newcastle return to action in a pre-season friendly against Gateshead at the International Stadium on July 15 (12:30pm kick-off). The Magpies also have a friendly scheduled against Rangers at Ibrox on July 18 (7:45pm kick-off) before they head to the United States for the Premier League Summer Series where they will face Chelsea, Aston Villa and Brighton.

Eddie Howe’s side kick-off their Premier League season at home to Villa on Saturday, August 12 (5:30pm kick-off).
