That badge. That sponsor. This is football heritage and shaped the future of a town as much as a football club.

In the 90s, the Toon could do no wrong with their shirts. This is just another example of a brilliant yet simple jersey that conjures wonderful memories of the Magpies at their most entertaining.
5. Newcastle United 1996 home shirt
This is the best sponsor in Premier League history for some. The shirt that Shearer donned upon his great return isn't too shabby either.

This is how you do hoops. It looks a little like a rugby shirt and yet it still distils all the pomp and playfulness of what Newcastle in the 90s looked like.
