J3’s Iwate Gruja Morioka announced a new system on the 22nd at Aeon Mall Morioka in Morioka City. The new uniform was unveiled in front of the fans, and manager Yoshika Matsubara and the new players showed their determination to advance to J2, their goal.
The new members are 13 members, including former Japanese national team MF Koki Mizuno, who was a member of the adult team Hayabusa Eleven (Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture). Each of them expressed their aspirations, and DF Tsuyoshi Miyaichi, representing the 29 players who attended, said, “We will be united to fight on the stage of J2 once more. I would like to ask for your hot support this season.”
The new uniform has a completely new design, and expresses the appearance of a crane spreading its wings and flying in the sky. Patterns such as Morioka Castle, pheasant, wasabi, and jajamen were used.
