Leeds today unveiled their new away kit. Kit unveilings for the upcoming season are still quite exciting even though I am no longer in the queue to be one of the first to purchase a shirt these days. In no particular order because I live in Thailand, and they cost £50 a pop!!
So today's unveiling was led by the Goalies shirt which is bright orange, a little bit garish some might say but not too bad but later in the day, this appeared. The official away strip that will be worn for the first time on Sunday when we play Bristol away.
Leeds' new away strip goalie shirt modelled by development squad keeper, Will Huffer ( We have had to have a windsock erected at Leeds in case we get gusts above 10mph when the lithe Will can no longer stand in goal for fear of being blown over....bless him!)
Twitter lit up like a birthday cake for an octogenarian. Its got lots pink and is rather different from the standard all yellow strip of yore. Needless to say, many of the fans were not too happy but I have to say, I really like it!
Its new Leeds, it's different. But at the same time, its old Leeds. It's us saying to the rest of the world " we don't give a fuck" and that is exactly who we are.
I think it will grow on the fans, especially when we hammer Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Sunday. Then it will be considered a 'lucky' kit and will sell in droves.
We can be a superstitious lot up at Leeds ;-)
