The shirt represents more than just a team for Newcastle fans; it represents unity, commitment and an iconic history. It has become an iconic symbol of the city and has led to the city of Newcastle becoming synonymous with the colours black and white. But how can we style it? Whether it's for the match or simply for a pub trip, here are some ways to make the iconic jersey right for you.
Firstly, when I go to the match, the majority of the time it's not often warm enough to wear the shirt alone. To beat the cold but also represent the shirt, I wear a long sleeve top underneath, that way I'm not freezing to death but also get to show off my top. If we are talking winter conditions, however, I fear that you aren’t seeing the top anytime soon, as the sensible option is probably to add a coat too. Having said that, you probably will actually find some Geordies with their tops out at a match, as I often find them immune to the cold; sometimes, actually, you even see no tops...
But my favourite way to style my Newcastle top, not taking into account the weather, of course, is with a pair of my blue Zara long-length jeans, some of my Nike trainers, a simple white scarf, and finally my brown suede jacket to finish off. It gives off a smart yet casual pub vibe with minimal effort (which is why it's my favourite).
... the immense pride you feel as a Newcastle fan when wearing the shirt and waving the scarf is unmatched...
Finally, one of my personal favourite accessories to add to the shirt is the classic Newcastle United scarf. Nothing beats the pride of the shirt when you're attending a game whilst waving that scarf high in the sky, and take it from personal experience, the immense pride you feel as a Newcastle fan when wearing the shirt and waving the scarf is unmatched. For any evidence, I highly recommend you watch the cup final against Liverpool where you won’t be able to miss the sea of black and white shirts and scarfs: here you can really the passion of the shirt coming through!
