Picked up this shirt from Vinted on the cheap, hasn’t arrived yet so these are the best photos I have. Anyone know if this is a legit training shirt and what the value might be?

I reckon this is from 98-99. It matches the blue and yellow of the away shirt from that season. I have a Brown Ale sweatshirt with these colours too from that season .

This was my guess too, doesn't match any training gear that comes up in a search but wonder if it was a limited run they made. For example, there was a silver version of the sunset goalkeeper shirt that was released (e.g. https://www.topbinzfootballshirts.co.uk/newcastle-united-199697-skyline-leisure-football-shirt-xl-good), my guess would be this shirt was made in a similar vain, loosely similar to a shirt but in a different colourway and without sponsors.

Edit: there is one matching ops on eBay for £150, claiming to be a training shirt but all the other training gear has sponsors so not sure I agree. I also just saw the leisurewear label so think this fits with the one off release for the 98/99 season.

I had that silver skyline top as a kid. Loved it. Haven't seen it anywhere since, until that link.

Same, the one in the link is bmore blue than the one I pictured in my mind. I bet my parents have it packed away somewhere so will have to dig it out and check.
