Newcastle United have launched a new home kit to mark their 125th anniversary - and their return to the Premier League.

Fresh alongside the famous black and white stripes is a new sponsor - with Asian betting firm FUN88, taking centre stage on the design in light blue font after agreeing a three-year deal with the club.

Along with the introduction of a new sponsor, a simple scroll under the badge stating '125 years' to mark the milestone for the club, while red numbering will return to the back of the shirt and shorts.
