Adidas source responds to Newcastle United speculation after club shop 'hint'

Newcastle United fans in recent years have got a history of showing a particular set of skills when it comes to scouring the internet and unearthing potential stories about their club - usually starting with fans following airplanes, but last week it was something different as one fan spotted what appeared to be details of a new Adidas store in Newcastle.

One fan found a link that listed St James' Park as an Adidas store. The page on the sport brand's website listed the shop as 'Newcastle Utd Football co LTD' which is what the football club is registered as on Companies House. It also provided an address - which was that of St James' Park, and a phone number.

It sparked excitement among some members of the Toon fanbase with many holding out for Adidas to return at kit manufacturers - a post they held from 1995-2010. The 1995-1996, grandad collar shirt is a jersey that many fans consider to be their favourite given it was the one worn at the height of the Entertainers Era.
