By Rob Atkinson No, Leeds, no, no, no! I'm sorry to come across all Thatcheresque, but sometimes you just have to put your foot down with an almighty stomp and have a tantrum in a worthy cause.
This new shirt. It has stripes!! Horrible big fat stripes that look like tyre tracks, as if our poor players have been caught unawares by a runaway blue-paint liner. It's tawdry, it's unnecessary. It's a massive departure from fifty years of tradition during the vast bulk of which we've been resplendent in pure brilliant white shirts. I mean, I know we were never going to go back to the simplicity of the 1972 kit - obviously flashes and piping and logos and other such fripperies are a part of the scene these days, more's the pity. But this? It's an abomination! In the interests of balance though, I should say that some people like it. There, that's that done. We are now destined to enter a new season where Swansea and Spurs are going to look far more like Leeds United than Leeds United do - and frankly, it's wasted on them. They're hardly going to appreciate the fact, are they? I'm sure we're stuck with this unfortunate monstrosity, worse luck. Well, they can stick it for me. I'm not having one. What I will do is sally forth to the Club Shop/Tat Emporium/Bates Retirement Fund Megastore, and purchase for myself one pristine, tasteful, fully authentic retro home shirt of a 1992 vintage, which I shall wear as a protest against the sheer bad taste of this awful, awful Macron creation. And I shall sneer openly at anyone I encounter wearing the ugly thing that's being foisted upon us.. Leeds United, for heaven's sake: what were you thinking of??

I like it sorry folks but if you want tradition that is before all white yes I actually said that and if it raises funds for the TEAM then buy the damn thing

A new strip for a new Leeds United. Sorry mate but we're not the team we were in the 60s and 70s. I think it's pretty snazzy. Looks slightly like Reading's though, ha ha. Wonder if BMcD had owt to do with this ><

Its horrid, BM would nor have anything to do with it, it will have had its design weeks ago if not months, it is disgusting but when you get a cheapo like Macron then you get what you pay for basically a recycle of last seasons with a couple of stripes and a blue bit on collar save money and buy a marker pen or paint roller and do it yourself, and as for funding team by buying it the club forfitted that right a couple of seasons ago by their lacksture performances and stupid prices they can't even fill ground for a Yorkshire derby or when they reduce prices cos they are desperate to get people in, i will not be renewing my membership this year and I made that decision before I thought about moving to Scotland, this club is a joke now and this new shirt confirms it even more.

We have to start a campaign to bring back the yellow away strip. Black and blue kits are simply not Leeds. By the way the new kit is horrid. The more white the better!

Sorry lads the only thing that's wrong with the shirt is the Fuckin awful Ridsdale Shield! Hate it its the ONE STAIN on our club that should be wiped away to the bowels of History! Would much rather see something along the lines of a Yorkshire Rose background with a Retro reworked Smiley with LUFC Script above with 1919 below with the Word YORKSHIRE Just above 1919. New Era New Image. Intact I think we should start a Campaign to get Rid of The Club Rapist, Ridsdale shield! Otherwise it might as well just be a Yellow and Blue Goldfish!

It looks like wearing a blue colored tie with white short pants.

I love it. The City colours are Blue & gold. The all white was Revie thing. So I hope this leads to a new kit each year getting less and less white. From a commercial point there are limits on a white kit. If the money comes back and equates to better players; well? Cardiff had to bite the bullet from blue to red did this have a detrimental or positive effect? Here's to the new Manager, new kit and new ambitions. MOT
on and on

What about this GFH design say six shirts have a vote from each member then go with the winner. sales you will find are a lot better than what you are going to get with this one.
