Newcastle United change shirts during the first half of their pre-season friendly against Bayer Leverkusen, according to multiple reports.

Both outlets describe the same moment in the match, stating that Newcastle swap kits partway through the first half. The reports do not provide additional details about why the change is made or whether it affects substitutions, tactics, or the final result.

The two sources present the event as a simple in-game occurrence rather than part of a broader storyline, focusing on the timing (midway through the first half) and the opponent (Bayer Leverkusen) during the pre-season fixture.
