Body:
In an unusual turn of events, Newcastle United made a kit change during the first half of their pre-season friendly against Bayer Leverkusen at St James’ Park. The home team initially took the field in their black and white home kit, which featured a blue trim. However, at the first hydration break, they opted to switch to their lilac third strip.
The decision followed an apparent color clash with Bayer Leverkusen’s away kit, which is mint green adorned with a blue pattern. This change was necessary to avoid any confusion on the pitch. Despite Newcastle’s effort to adapt, the German team secured a 2-1 victory in the match.
