Leeds United unveiled the new 2016/17 away kit, produced by teamwear partners Kappa.
Developed in Kappa’s Turin headquarters, this design sees United return to a royal blue away kit, featuring yellow trim around the collar and sleeves. Kappa’s Italian influence ensures a stylish fit to the shirt while celebrating the club’s iconic colours.
The fabric, which has been treated to provide a dry fit, is a mix of polyester and spandex, designed to bring elasticity and comfort to a light shirt.
Kappa’s innovative ‘Kombat Gara’ technology enhances movement in the shirt and is intended to allow the players to play freely in what is designed to feel like a ‘second skin’. Laser-cut holes also allow for improved breathability.
The shirt also features the logos of two of the club’s new sponsors for the very first time – 32Red on the front and Clipper Logistics Plc on the reverse, both in white. Junior shirts will feature the Greenpeace logo.
