The Magpies, an affectionate term for Newcastle United, stems from the iconic black and white kit, mirroring the colours of a magpie bird. Of course these weren’t always Newcastle’s colours. Post-1892, following the merger of Newcastle West End and Newcastle East End, their kit was red and white, or red and black. The shift to black and white only happened later, solidifying their Magpie identity.
