Newcastle United, the club is poised to usher in a new era of grandeur by bidding farewell to sportswear manufacturer Castore and welcoming back the renowned leisurewear behemoth, Adidas. This monumental five-year partnership, rumored to be valued at an astounding sum of hundreds of millions of pounds, promises to reshape the Magpies' identity on and off the field.
The imminent formal announcement of this groundbreaking alliance with Adidas has been thrust into the spotlight, inadvertently, by an episode of Amazon Prime's documentary series 'We are Newcastle United'. This candid docuseries, which delves into the inner workings of the club, took an unexpected turn when a pre-release episode disclosed executives from Newcastle United visiting the hallowed halls of Adidas Headquarters in Germany.
The voice of Newcastle United legend and all-time top goal scorer, Alan Shearer, accompanied the revelation. His narration acknowledged the potential magnitude of the forthcoming deal, suggesting it could wield a financial impact in the hundreds of millions.
Although the inadvertent leak led to the episode's temporary removal from the streaming platform, its rescheduled release date this Friday is expected to satiate fans' curiosity.
With the cat unintentionally out of the bag, Adidas UK further stoked the flames of anticipation. On Saturday, the renowned athletic brand posted a tantalizing tweet alluding to the pending partnership, replete with enigmatic eyes and popcorn emojis. The gesture, shared by the club, has only intensified the buzz surrounding the revival of the iconic Adidas-Magpies association.
