Is this Newcastle United’s new home kit for the upcoming 2018-19 Premier League season?

The top has been leaked by the usually reliable FootyHeadlines.com ahead of its official release in early July.

Featuring a white collar and sleeve trim, the Puma shirt also features a prominent white stripe down the middle, with a three-stripe sleeve that is also white in the middle. The sleeves’ stripe blends well into a white stripe on either side of the top.

Meanwhile, the club’s normal badge is back after last season’s special anniversary badge to celebrate the club’s 125 year anniversary.

The leaked image gives an idea of what the children’s top will look like, with no sponsor on. Adults tops would come with the Fun88 sponsor added, but league rules prevent such sponsorship logos appearing on children’s shirts.

It will be the second year of their sponsorship deal with Chinese betting firm and will be the penultimate set of Puma kits that the club release. Their current deal with the German sportswear firm expires in 2020.

It is one of three new Puma kits the club will wear next season and the eagerly awaited announcement will come “early next month”, according to United’s Head of Marketing Communications Lee Marshall.

The home kit will then be available to buy later in the month, with the second and third strips due to be announced later in July.
