Newcastle United home shirt for 26/27 leaked and fans call it the worst kit of all-time

Newcastle United's home kit for the 2026/27 season has leaked online, and fans think it could be one of the worst kits ever made.

The Premier League is hardly known for its fashion, with clubs across the top flight releasing some truly horrific kits in recent years.

This season, the worst undoubtedly has to be Manchester City's bizarre raindrop-inspired third kit proudly displaying 'rain or shine' on the back to show how hardcore they are.

However, it's far from the only offender, with Liverpool's seemingly McDonald's-inspired 2021-22 third kit and Manchester United's grey heavily-sponsored 1995-96 away kit some of the worst in Premier League history.

The kits for the 2026-27 season have not yet been revealed, so we don't quite know for sure which club's will impress or disappoint with their releases for the new season.

But, if the leaks are to be believed, Newcastle United supporters shouldn't get their hopes up because many fans believe their new home kit looks like it could take the throne as the club has ever made.

As revealed by FootyHeadlines, the new home jersey combines the club's iconic black and white stripes with a blue trim.

Sounds good so far, right?

Well that's where you would be wrong in the eyes of Newcastle fans on social media, as rather than a simple black and white stripe design, it appears the club have gone a bit rogue this year.

Instead of black and white stripes that are all an equal size, there is a massive black stripe in the centre of the kit, taking up a lot of the front design.

Sharing an image of the kit on social media, one fan account asked: "Worst shirt we’ve ever had?"

While another joked: "It’s a horror, and will be pricey. Every time you amble past the self-checkout at Tesco’s you’ll get stung £27.09 for 12 tins of Whiskas."

Thankfully for Newcastle fans it's not all bad news, as opinions of the home kit are not the same as those on the leaked away and third kits, both of which are far more popular.

Although Footy Headlines have explained that the designs for both kits remain speculative, if they look anything like the leaked designs then Newcastle are on to some winners.

The away kit will see a return to the classic Newcastle crest alongside a unique brick pattern.

Meanwhile the third kit features a very light purple base colour, with accent colours speculated to be either of the club's classic black or white.
