We take a look at our crests over the years, what they consist of and what their individual components signify. Thank in large part to the estimable Gallowgate Flags fans group, the atmosphere in the stadium has been transformed. But happily, match days at St James’ Park have rarely been as colourful as they have been this season. The gold and silver design was based on the Magpies’ existing crest and a golden adornment was added to signify the milestone year.

On the crest section, a demi lion sits atop the city’s historic Castle Keep and flies the swallow-tailed pennon of the Arms of Saint George – the country’s patron saint. Each side of the flag is adorned with the image of the individual cups and the dates we won each one.”The group’s superb flag creations have included depictions of classic Newcastle United kits, while Legends Day in November saw 12 giant flags unfurled, honouring some of the club’s greatest players - from Hughie Gallacher to Malcolm Macdonald to Alan Shearer. Newcastle United celebrated its 125th anniversary during the 2017/18 season and a special commemorative crest was commissioned as part of the club's celebrations.

We want to create a positive, noisy and visual culture at St James’ Park,” said Alex at the time.

Time has moved on and we want to create something unique, but we wanted to give a nod to the old flags that were so popular.
