But the black and white stripes that usually stretch down the back of the shirt – through the players numbers – were removed to adhere with the competition's guidelines.<\/p>\n

Uefa's rules state "the area on the back of a playing shirt [is] reserved exclusively for the shirt number" and that the number zone "must extend 2cm above the highest point and 3cm below the lowest point of the two digits, and horizontally 3cm from the left edge of the left-hand digit and 3cm from the right edge of the right-hand digit".<\/p>\n

The zone also has to be "free of any team, manufacturer or other identification or advertising".<\/p>\n

Alongside seven-time winners AC Milan, Howe's men will also face 1997 champions Borussia Dortmund and French champions Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

Newcastle did not have the best preparation for the Milan clash as their flight was delayed due to bad weather.<\/p>\n

As a result, Howe's press conference took place after the 8pm deadline set by Uefa.<\/p>\n

After eventually arriving and speaking to the media, the Newcastle boss said: "I believe it was a weather problem, so we were delayed taking off. We were sat on the runway for quite some time.<\/p>\n

"It was nothing that\u2019s too out of the ordinary for us. We do a lot of travelling in the UK, and it can happen from time to time. We\u2019re here now.<\/p>\n

"It\u2019s just part and parcel of the job that we do. It\u2019s not out of the normal that that can happen. This was a weather problem, but we\u2019ve been in similar situations.<\/p>\n

"It\u2019s been a long day for us, we had an early start and a late finish. It\u2019s been a day of preparation, trying to get all of our game plan right and make sure we\u2019re as well organised as we can be for tomorrow\u2019s game. It\u2019s been intense. As soon as the game finished against Brentford, we immediately turned our attention to this one.<\/p>\n

"It\u2019s something we\u2019re used to, although it\u2019s a slightly later arrival time than we would have liked for the players. It\u2019s no big deal though.<\/p>\n

"The thought of not coming earlier in the day was so we could do our tactical work behind closed doors. For me, that\u2019s so important, that we get our work done and are able to work because it\u2019s such a small amount of time between games. It was really valuable that we did that.<\/p>\n

"I don\u2019t think it impacted the flight schedule, the weather did that. We wanted to train and prepare for the game, whereas if you train here then that goes out of the window."<\/p>\n
