Newcastle have issued an apology and removed a scene from the launch of their third kit for the upcoming season, after it contained a version of the Japanese imperialist flag.
The Premier League club shared a launch video, featuring Newcastle fan and singer Sam Fender, on Tuesday.
As part of the video, which included fans and Newcastle stars past and present, two fans were pictured holding up a black and white flag, featuring the club crest and the words 'NUFC Japan'.
The image carried a resemblance to the Rising Sun flag used by the Japanese army and navy during the Second World War.
