Newcastle United have launched their new Adidas third kit, and it has got the seal of approval from Anthony Gordon.
The Newcastle United winger was part of the Adidas promo video that was unveiled on Monday evening, which also starred the likes of Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes, Tino Asprilla and Jonas Gutierrez. It also featured Sam Fender, who provided the narration with Local Hero playing in the background.
There was a nod to former Toon manager Steve Bruce too, with Dan Burn asking ‘how’s the bacon’ to end the advert.
Newcastle United’s new third kit is available to buy now, with fans having the opportunity to purchase the shirt that is inspired by the 1997/98 jersey worn by Kenny Dalglish’s team.
