What happens next?

In early August, we’ll hold workshops with fan groups– in person and online – to hear where we are, what you’ve told us, and what happens next – including how you'll soon be able to take part in a poll to have your say on the evolution of our crest.

In August we’ll also open a formal poll showcasing crest options to all eligible supporters. This places the opportunity to feedback where it belongs: with you.

To make sure you can take part in the poll, please confirm your contact details are up to date at newcastleunited.com.

Whatever crest we carry forward, it will be grounded in the same history, shaped by the same values, and bound by the same extraordinary connection that has always defined our city and our club.

We are Newcastle. We are United.

The history of the Newcastle United crest

Newcastle FC Crest

The history of the Newcastle United crest

Our shirts first had the city's Coat of Arms emblazoned on them as early as 1911, but it was in 1969 that the club finally adopted it as an official emblem.

The first club-specific crest was created in 1976 and it retained an illustration of Castle Keep – which still stands imposingly in the city today.

The River Tyne was also added, with a magpie - a nod to the club’s nickname – in the foreground.

The club’s current and perhaps most famous crest – synonymous with the Entertainers Era of the mid-nineties – was created in 1988.
