Newcastle United 2002/03 home jersey

Newcastle United wore this at home in 2002/03. adidas made it, NTL was on the front: black and white stripes.

NTL's last season on the shirt.

On the garment, the tell is the V-neck collar, white adidas stripes. We read that, the neck label and the tag before we call one original.

How to date one

Neither the print nor the colour dates this one

Every Newcastle jersey of the era was adidas, so the sponsor is the tell. Newcastle Brown Ale ended in 2000, NTL ran 2000/01 to 2002/03, and Northern Rock took over from 2003/04.

Newcastle United wore the same home — black and white stripes — in 2000/01, 2001/02 and 2002/03, all under adidas with the NTL print. This one has the V-neck collar, white adidas stripes, but we have not confirmed what the other seasons carried. So the neck label and the tag separate them, and we read those first.

The six checks we run on any jersey — the label code, the sleeve badge, the print, and what none of them prove.

What an early-2000s original costs — real asking prices, and the reproduction price an original has to clear.

We do not have this one in hand

Put it on the Want List and it becomes something we go looking for. No fee, no bidding, no obligation — you see photos, measurements and a price before anything is charged.

Club, season and kit is enough. Sponsor or a squad number if you know it.

Early-2000s sizing runs small. Telling us the size stops us offering you a jersey that will not fit.
