Newcastle United 2003/04 away jersey
Newcastle United wore this away in 2003/04. adidas made it, Northern Rock was on the front: black and sky blue.
Northern Rock's first season, and it stayed until 2012.
On the garment, the tell is the V-neck collar, adidas shoulder stripes. We read that, the neck label and the tag before we call one original.

The print gets you close, the colour finishes it
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 adidas with the Northern Rock print in 2003/04 and 2004/05. Only in 2003/04 was the away black and sky blue, so the colour settles it. For 2003/04 the tell is the V-neck collar, adidas shoulder stripes.
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.
