Couldn't care less what the strip is like, as long as we play well in it.

I must say that the new kit is terrible! It looks cheap and tacky, I thought the Italians were supposed to be stylish!
The home shirt should be all white with blue trim.
It's like Real Madrid have a massive stripe down the middle truly awful!

Best kit ever was the 1997 (I think), very classy, high collar with LUFC inscripted on the left side (alla 70's).
What are your thoughts?

Please just plain white, with a normal collar and tiny yellow and blue trim. one day.

Op here. I thnk those days a re gone looking around the kits nowadays. such a shame

it would of been better with either thin blue vertical stripes I mean very thin or a wider section blue.
the kit just looks strange as if they have taken a perfectly good top and thrown some blue stripes on it.
could of done a white shirt with a deep horizontal blue stripe across the chest.

Nothing wrong with the new kit, looks top

Agree, should definitely be plain white with modest blue or yellow trim. Should also be worn away, with change strip only used when there's a colour clash. We are Leeds after all, and the reason Don Revie chose it in the first place is just as relevant today.

Who cares? We changed our colours under Mr Revie to all white to emulate Madrid. We have changed our badge numerous times over the decades. One thing never changes. WE ARE LEEDS.! C;mon let's next season we all try to make an effort to get to ER as its annoying when smaller clubs totally kill our attendances!

Don't think it was solely down to smaller clubs with our attendances, it has been steadily dropping over the past 6 or 7 seasons with a massive drop this season under NW. You can't blame the board either at least they have tried with the paint it white campaign and special reductions but their hands are tied because of season ticket holders. The fact is that they have to turn it on on the field first to attract the fans back to ER.

I think the new kit looks great. can't understand what the fuss is about as long as we play well in it.

I don't get why people are so boring, you can get a plain white shirt from Primark if you want! its just a bit different, couple of season and it will be back to plain. Personally I've always preffered the away kits it was all yellow and blue when I was a Kid, to me that's leeds colours and from what people are saying that is their true colours! (excuse the pun)

This shirt looks like it was bought at Primark.
What are you talking about yellow and blue, Don Revie changed it to all white 56 years ago and we are known worldwide in that kit. Spurs and Swansea look more like us than we do. I know if we get a good team and are challenging nobody will care, but my point is they had a great chance to bring back the pride of the old team along with a forward looking progessive team and manager for the future. Imagine getting promoted and the world once again starts looking at Leeds United, we are the whites.
Just my opinion not knocking anyone elses MOT

Heard recently Fulham are getting ready to ditch 3 or 4 fringe players including Keiran Richardson & Andy Johnson, wages allowing, Johnson would score for fun in Championship, Richardson a bit injury prone & a former MUFC, but not long ago in the England team, thoughts?

Andy Johnson, no thanks, unless we're looking at a companion for somma on the injury list

24 Apr 2013 20:51:10
Is that same Andy Johnson who left Fulham for qpr??

24 Apr 2013 14:58:03
The new home kit is a shocker. they'll b on the sale rack by September. They need to cut ties with macron, should've binned them after the black and greeny yellow embarrassment of a kit

Mcd said on os site, few things not quite right, guess one was the fitness coach. You got to like this geezer. No ranting or raving, just quietly gets on with the job. What a welcome breath of fresh air he brings to the club. If gfh get more investors over the summer ( surely they must get at least one or two more ) mcd will have a bit of cash to splash. He is a smart man and I reckon he knows whose going and who he want to buy with money and those he wants without money. He has recently had a month or so holiday so can work through the summer fine tuning. Big crowd for last home game, let him know what a winning start to next season will mean to fans and crowd. Think will be a completely different style of play next season and clubs can write elland rd off as nil points.

Gfh are history pal, they won't be here in august
