Newcastle United's supposed home, away and training kits for next season may have "leaked" online several weeks ago but the club is now preparing to officially unveil them - and JD Sports appears to have gone early with its launch. The sportswear company is already advertising the shirts - which have black and white stripes, a blue trim and a blue tidal slashes across the bottom of the black strips - for £52 for adults online, before Newcastle have unofficially unveiled. In a 13-second teaser video released on to the club's Twitter feed on Tuesday, the trim of the shorts is shown although the majority of the rest of the kit is not visible. https://twitter.com/NUFC/status/600571697574453249 With the black-and-white-striped shirt, complete with blue trim - similar to the 1999-2001 design - having allegedly been leaked online weeks ago (pictured above), the club accompanied their video with the caption: "New 2015/16 @pumafootball home kit... coming son. #NUFC." The video seems to confirm that blue will be a feature of the design, with the shorts having a blue trim in the close-up footage. Interestingly, the "leaked" kits also showed the supposed away variations and the training kits that could be used by the Magpies next season - seemingly regardless of whether or not they remain in the Premier League or are relegated to the Championship. The supposed away kit is an unusual silver-grey design with blue around the shoulders and under the arm pits, with a triangular pattern across the main body. Alternatively, the "leaked" away kit is predominantly white but with a black patch on the top-right breast and on the back and shoulders. The club is yet to announce when it will officially release the kits for next season, although it is likely the home one could be brought out this week ahead of the final game of the Premier League season against West Ham United at St James' Park on Sunday.
