United's players took to the St. James' Park pitch on Saturday wearing T-shirts in support of teammate Jonas Gutierrez.
And the Club will be autioning these off in the near future, signed by the entire Magpies squad, in aid of testicular cancer charities.
The Argentine midfielder revealed last week that he has been battling testicular cancer, and captain Fabricio Coloccini - a close friend of Gutierrez - wanted to do something as a show of support for the 31-year-old.
So for the weekend's draw with Hull City, Newcastle's stars emerged from tunnel not wearing their normal warm-up jackets, but tops with 'Jonas 18' on the back and 'Howay man, get well soon' on the front instead.
The squad will sign every one of the T-shirts this week before they are auctioned for charity in due course.
More details on the dates of the charity auction will be released on nufc.co.uk when it has been finalised.
