Newcastle United 2004/05 home jersey

Newcastle United wore this at home in 2004/05. adidas made it, Northern Rock was on the front: black and white stripes.

Bobby Robson was sacked in August, Graeme Souness took over in September, and Newcastle finished 14th.

On the garment, the tell is the blue sleeve-cuff trim, striped sleeves. 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 2003/04 and 2004/05, all under adidas with the Northern Rock print. For 2004/05 the tell is the blue sleeve-cuff trim, striped sleeves. Beyond that it is the neck label and the tag, which we read before offering you anything.

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.
