Adidas to end Newcastle United kit deal - Puma to take over.jpg)
According to the Sunday Express, Adidas has ended their kit sponsorship deal with Newcastle United. The association with the sportswear company goes back 14 years, but it is believed Adidas have become disillusioned with the negative publicity which has surrounded the club since Ashley took over.
Adidas were quick to distance themselves from stories linking them with Ashley’s controversial plan to re-name St James’ Park, and now they have decided not to renew a contract with Newcastle which ends in the summer.
It's rumored that Newcastle will sign with manufacturer Puma while adidas are on the verge of signing a contract with Spurs, who ironically ending their kit deal with Puma.
Newcastle United wanted the news of adidas’s departure delayed until after Christmas, as kit bought as presents will soon be out of date.

Let's hope Puma don't ruin the iconic Toon stripes then. I personally would love to see Umbro make a return.
I remember not 10 years ago, Spurs had adidas before switching to Kappa.
Tottenham in Adidas would look nice depending on the template that adidas will put out. Personally I like simple designs. I haven't been a fan of some of the kits that Adidas has produced. Namely the Chelsea home kit. For some reason I just don't like it. The chest and the little designs on the front of the kit throw me off.
We also have to remember that we are coming towards that point of the season where these rumours start coming out.
Need to get SOme American management in there and fix things up I jut feel sorry for the the poor fans who are among some of the best if not the best inn the world!!!!!!!!!!!
Spurs are heading for Umbro
I'm a bit sick of Adidas to be honest!
Although i am gutted that adidas will be leaving, I'm glad that in terms of a company, we're getting the closest thing... (given that their founders are brothers) rather than an american company like nike.
I think puma and a new shirt sponsor will bring the beginning of a whole new era at st james... and I cant wait for it!
1978–1980: Admiral
1980–1985: Le Coq Sportif
1985–1991: Hummel
1991–1995: Umbro
1995–1999: Pony
1999–2002: Adidas
2002–2006: Kappa

What are you really basing that "Fact" on ? Asshole
Sorry if i offended your peeps.
Make room for the Pumas!
why not nike like ??
and the mackem who put " a black cat on a newcastle shirt" pffft he can talk when sunderland have a black and white away kit this season hahahaha!!! SMB
but forgetting my roots id say umbro or nike,
they both make awesome kits, and although adidas are making some of the best kits around, they just arent doing it for newcastle.
i think an umbro kit would be great, and i know this isnt gonna go down well but, given the stripes, it would be very similar to ours.
i think that our home kit is great , and our away kit, well you either love it or ya hate it, but umbro, as long as they dont do the tailored thing will serve yous well.
oh and the cat thing, yeah so what it might be a black cat, or it might be reverted, put on a black stripe, and then be a whote cat. Problem solved
i forgot to add to my comment that sunderlands away kit is "White, Charcoal Grey and Sulphur" not black and white.
the grey has more of a blue tint to it than a black one
Are you lot serious about Umbro?? Maybe 10 or 15 years ago......... Wise up
And with a Black Cat!
ha-way the lads, we are going up !!!
Oh and our kits have been terrible post '96 so I'm glad that we're dropping Adidas personally. Would have been awesome if they'd used the old 'trefoil' logo like on Adidas Originals gear however.
if the gremlins had there way it would be stone island,
