Despite overseeing a relatively dour period for the club in both divisions, the silver away kit of the mid 80s was seen draped over the shoulders of Peter Beardsley, Paul Gasoigne, Chris Waddle and Kevin Keegan. Although sadly never all at once. Replacing the yellow and green variants after over 10 years as the club's go-to away kit, the shimmering silver design took on a number of different looks before the club switched back in 88. Some designs included a horizontal black and white stripe across the middle but undoubtedly the best looking version was the simple pinstripe look with the Newcastle Breweries logo. Inspiring Adidas to revisit the design in 2003 and 2008, the design is now being poorly copied in this season's change kit, which is sadly a lot closer to a boring grey than a metallic silver.
