NEWCASTLE BEST: 5) 2013/14 away: Add a bit of green trim to this effort and there’s a hint of Brazil to it, which isn’t something you would associate with Alan Pardew’s mediocre mid-table side. Although, a first league victory at Manchester United since 1972 was sealed in these colours thanks to a Yohan Cabaye strike. Getty

4) 1993/95 away: A lovely all blue Asics kit with flicks of white worn when Kevin Keegan’s team was cementing its reputation as the Premier League ‘Entertainers’ with Andy Cole and Peter Beardsley leading the line. Getty

3) 1999/2000 home: The blue trim complements the classic black and white stripes well on this Adidas effort and the club was rocking again after Bobby Robson had achieved a career-long ambition by taking over as manager of his boyhood team. He succeeded Ruud Gullit, who had made the schoolboy error of picking a fight with star striker and local hero Alan Shearer. PA

2) 1995-97 away: A huge fans’ favourite from Adidas which was replicated for the 2018/19 season. But it’s the Adidas original that is held dear as David Ginola, Faustino Asprilla, Les Ferdinand and Co came agonisingly close to helping the Magpies win their first top-flight title since 1927.

1) 1995-97 home: Narrowly beats the away kit from the same time. A much-loved effort from Adidas for a team still revered up on Tyneside. The granddad collar, local sponsor on shirt and Alan Shearer wearing it at the peak of his powers after joining his boyhood club in a world-record deal from Blackburn Rovers. Will always be associated with Newcastle’s famous 5-0 destruction of Manchester United at St James’ Park. Getty

WORST: 5) 1990-93 home: An unpopular attack on tradition here as the club's famous black and white stripes were given a weird barcode-like redesign. Redeemed only by the fact it was worn when the Keegan revolution kicked into gear and Newcastle sealed the second-tier Championship title. Getty

4) 2012/13 away: A wretched kit for a miserable season. There’s something about Newcastle wearing all red that doesn’t feel right and it clearly manifested itself on to the players. After the previous season’s fifth-place finish, the Magpies plummeted down to 16th, ending up five points out of the relegation zone. Getty

3) 2009/10 away: Back down in the Championship after a disastrous previous season that had seen four managers take charge. Chris Hughton was a likeable bloke who took the team back up at the first attempt, winning the Championship and breaking the 100-points barrier, but was done no favours by this memorably woeful two-tone yellow striped affair from Adidas.

2) 2011/12 away: Orange may well always be associated with the great Dutch national teams of the past, but there is nothing great about this shocking effort.

1) 1997-98 away: Keegan was gone and Kenny Dalglish had managed to suck all the enjoyment and flair out of the team and this ludicrous kit only added to the feeling of gloom. A hideous concoction of dark blue, dark green and orange as Adidas undid years of good work with one horror show. Getty
