The club posted a video showing Newcastle United graphics, Adidas logos and the retro 1983 to 1988 club crest with the light green colouring that will feature on the upcoming third kit displayed on the advertising boards at the iconic Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo. It was later confirmed that a further announcement would be made at 9am BST.
Newcastle’s third kit will be mainly white with black and green detailing as well as the retro club crest that was introduced the same year as the club’s previous visit to Japan. The club announced the new Adidas home shirt on June 7 while the away shirt is yet to be announced.

Although squad fitness is a key part of the trip with warm and humid conditions in Tokyo, the trip is centred around commercial opportunities and brand growth.
Adidas’ return as the club’s kit manufacturer has been warmly received by supporters and the manufacturer also has connections with Japan having produced the national team’s kit previously.
After the Urawa match, Newcastle face Yokohama F. Marinos at the Tokyo National Stadium on Saturday (11am kick-off BST).
They will then return to Tyneside and face Girona and Stade Brestois at St James’ Park during the Sela Weekender on August 9 and 10 respectively.
