These are the new Leeds United Home, Away and 3rd Macron kits that will be worn by the team in the 2008/09 season. The players are already using the new training kit range supplied by Macron, and the home strip will be used in a competitive fixture for the first time against York City at KitKat Crescent on Friday evening.
The shirts will not have a sponsor for Friday night's fixture as the club have encountered a number of contractual issues with the company who had agreed and signed a two-year contract with the club on May 26 2008 to be our shirt sponsor. We are looking at resolving the outstanding issues as quickly as possible.
The club have, as a precaution, also held discussions with a number of local based companies about becoming the main shirt sponsor if the outstanding issues cannot be resolved. It is hoped to be able to make an announcement as to the shirt sponsor for the 2008/09 season within the next seven days.
Macron, the new kit suppliers, who signed a four-year contract with the club in January have had the kits ready for delivery for the last six weeks but have been delayed in supplying them whilst the new shirt sponsorship arrangement was finalised.
Full details of when the kit will be available to fans will be announced 24 hours after the shirt sponsor is announced. The kits will only be available from the shop at Elland Road.
All u fukin nob eds are too busy fukin lookin at our fukin shirt. The funni thing is tht leeds have the best supporters in the world and are still gettin 40,000 fans every week! U r nob eds and i cant wait for our game against u...... get ready for a fukin poundin sunshine!
Gutted. I queued at midnight when the Leeds' first Nike kit was released and we've fallen a long way in every respect since then.
I was hoping for something really different from a manufacturer who are relatively unknown in England, especially when there are so many templates out there from the likes of Nike and Adidas. But these are just not very imaginative. Why the Cov City (from a few seasons back) third kit???? Maybe there'll look better with a sponsor - no doubt another shockingly named company...
Still, before you give me grief, I can still say I saw my team in a Champions League semi-final, not many English fans can say that and for that small pleasure I'll put up with our present situation. We just have to put up with crap kits and more importantly crap players until we make our way up the leagues again.
I am currently creating my own database of options for manufacturers to use for future Leeds kits that will be appearing on my website soon!!! Macron take note.
Leeds till i die but those kits are shit! when the fuck have we ever worn stripes? Its bad enough were supplied by "macron"? but they're actually shit! how can we go from puma to nike to diadora to admiral and macron.Symbolic much? Oh well as long as we go up i dont care what we wear. First year in about ten that i wont be buying a leeds top though!
Im a Leeds fan and sad to admit it but we are a 3rd division team, get over it!!! We had stripes when Asics (remember them?!) made our kits in the 90s-the famous 'I can't see the black players in night games' green and blue stripes and the yellow and blue stripes.
Come on, for f**ks sake, you can't even see the full kit on these pics, so how can any of you comment?! The home one looks ok, the away one is a nice all yellow nad the 3rd kit looks pretty good.....at least comment when we can see the full kit!!
i dont care if the kits are shit at the end of the day leeds have acomplished more than all the shitty teams that are supported here. its not the shirt that plays the game its the team so y dont u all just fuk off
COME ON LEEDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GALATASARY, GO FUCKIN DO ONE!!
Macron may be shit but lets see what the whole kit looks like, with sponsorship etc before we completley right this one off. its plain and at least white and yellow, rather than the pink,grey and red you see some shit clubs wearing these days!!
They cant get much worse than the 06/07 season can they?
Bollocks to anyone who mentions a pub team, we might well be in the third tier but we'll be back where we belong!
Durr, Lids iz scum, sheep etc. How old are some of you people, 12 and a half?
As for the kits, would need to see them closer but I'm hardly inspired. The yellow one looks the best of a bad bunch. Nothing to do with the manufacturer. We could have Makro making it as long as we got promoted as far as I'm concerned.
yu no wot it is yer yu can say wer embarassing and shit but at the end of the day we are leeds ! most loyal fans n we will be back so go suk yur mams dad off . peace
sheffield united champion league semi final have ya?
came fourth in premier league ?
won a the top flight league?
NO but leeds have so please fuck off and stop been jelous we'll be back
i have seen a lot of ugly shirts trough the years, but this...
just organized a shirt for my fun-team, could just spend 300 £, green is our color and I had to go with "hummel", not a big name either, but... my shirts are looking fare nicer!
but then again... whatever shit they wear, it's still leeds!
UNLUCKY HAVING MACRON, POOR KITS BE CAREFULL WHEN YOU WASH THEM, ANDY ROBINSON SAID LAST SEASON IT WAS THE WORST KITMAKER HE EVER WORE, ENJOY LEAGUE 1 ! SWANSEA TILL I DIE
It dos`nt matter what it looks like, it matters what we do in it ..........win !!!!!!!!! At least its white it could be worse it could be red .............................
people laugh about us being sponsorship deal but it is the biggest shirt supplier deal outside of the premiership.
so who gives a fuck what it looks like, they are paying us alot to wear it.
jesus it is like listening to girls and kids on here, its only a shirt, you cant really do much with a white shirt.
would people with an iq of less than 10 please use a different blog to this one . the new kit is white with a leeds badge on it thats all that matters .............................
macron want to become a leading brand in the UK and thus needed a club with enough stature to help them do so. i'm confident that as leeds move back into the upper echelons of english football, macron will become a household name. much like adidas have become synonymous with liverpool and newcastle, macron could do the same with leeds.
Gents what aload of Absolute Shite!
Do Any of You know What yr Talking about??
The Fact Remains...
This Shirt Deal - IS - The BIGGEST DEAL Outside the Premier League and Bigger than Alot of Teams in The Prem League Currently!!!
Which will make it ONE of the Biggest Shirt Deals in the world.
Something which Leeds Historically -Have a Knack Of Gaining!
So for a club in the 3rd Tier of English football, Financially makes alot of Commonsense! Something a certain Mr Ridsdale should take note of.
Back to the Shirts! Lets be honest here, the only problem i see with this shirt is that MasterBates has ensured that you can Only buy it from the Club Shop!!
So Much for Branding!!! And so much for the fans not living in LS11! Thanx Ken! Clever!
The Shirt itself isnt Bad! Not great but at least its not as bad as the yellow/blue splodges and blue/yellow splodge shirts we Once had to Endure! And have we forgotten! Admiral in the 70's before Leeds were Unheard of! They went onto supply the England squad and many major football teams! The Umbro of its day! So bearing in mind the Amount of Money Macron have pumped in to our cash strapped club-lets give them an opportunity! Afterall they cant be anyworse than our famous Puma fall apart shirts! Had u forgotten ???
So Mr Bates/Macron
- Next time yr gonna Dump a Shirt on us, Why Not show us yr Top5 Designs and ASK US - THE FANS, What WE'D Like 2 See? And Wear! Afterall its Us The Die Hards That help finance the Team and That way we've Only Got Ourselves to Blame and Not some Suit whos probably Not even a fan! We Are one of the Best supported teams in the world! - is This Really how we do Business and Promote our Team Globally??
If we're gonna march on Together we Need to be United.
Not the best I've ever seen. It's all well and good saying that Macron are pouring money into the club but having shit shirts isn't going to help the finacial status much. What happens when others see the shirts, think they're shite like many of us have and don't buy them. Shirt sales are going to be really low. Surely this has to be a big part of income.
