Own a unique piece of Magpies memorabilia. One-of-a-kind fashion items made from recycled Newcastle United shirts are now on display at Eldon Square. View the collection today and place your bid to take one home.

We teamed up with talented designers at Northumbria University to ensure that our black and white stripes never go out of fashion. The result? A collection of unique fashion items - including a bomber jacket, dress, and joggers - all crafted from repurposed Newcastle United shirts.

You can bid on the items now for a chance to own a piece of club history - all while raising funds for Newcastle United Foundation's vital projects around the community.

GIVING KIT A SECOND LIFE

The project began when our Sustainability Manager, Helen Hughes, challenged Northumbria academics to find a creative solution for kit that could no longer sell - including shop returns and shirts with outdated squad names or numbers.

"Collaboration with Northumbria University is a fantastic example of creative sustainability in action," says Helen Hughes. "Rather than viewing surplus kit as waste, we saw an opportunity to transform it into something special for our fans."

STITCHED WITH PURPOSE

The collection has already taken centre stage. A bespoke jacket and dress recently premiered at the Newcastle United Foundation Celebration Dinner, where the jacket alone raised £200 for community projects.

Now, it's over to you. Every penny raised from the public auction goes directly back into the Newcastle United Foundation, turning "waste" into a win for the whole city.
