In terms of clubs releasing their clubs late Leeds United have won that award this season, and probably for any Football League team for some time. It’s not a good award to be winning, if it was a real thing. The new kit will be unveiled tomorrow, and only available to pre-order. Since the arrival of Kappa at Leeds United the kits have been going down a treat. The first was the most popular for many years, a plain white and yellow pair with no shirt sponsor, the reason for that had nothing to do with Kappa but it made the kit very clean and fans loved it. The next year saw The white-collar and the blue away kit with yellow trim, a shirt that was even more popular than the previous two and still is. Last season the club threw a different colour in the mix, black, with silver. Popular? Yes, not traditional, but very popular. Leeds fans like tradition but they don’t mind a new look at times and that’s exactly what the black one gave everyone. Stylish and went with a very nice home kit, gold trim and badge. This seasons home kit is very similar in look to the one from two years ago but with a different collar. What of the away one? Some have said it’s sky blue, a colour that Leeds have had in the past many times, some have said its dark blue, and pin-stripe. The thing is nobody really knows. A random picture of a Leeds shirt came out a couple of week ago, it looked a bit odd but whether that’s it nobody really knows. It was very dark blue with yellow and white stripes. All will be revealed tomorrow. Better late than never…<doc-sep>Leeds United have seemingly confirmed that they will be releasing the clubs away kit ahead of their game against Derby County this weekend – in which they are first expected to wear the strip according to Leeds United Supporters Trust. Leeds United fans have already begun to take to Twitter debating what colour they want their away strip to be this season, with the iconic traditional colours of Blue and Yellow seemingly leading the way. Here’s the reaction/debate to the news that the kit will be released tomorrow: For all those impatient ones, the away kit will be released tomorrow (Thursday). Angus Kinnear got his dates mixed up when he was asked by @TalkingShutt. As long as he knows the transfer deadline for permanent’s is tomorrow then I’m not bothered #lufc — Peacock Talk ⚽️ (@talking_leeds) August 8, 2018 Quick update the kit is released on Thursday not the Wednesday as mentioned on our show, #lufc — Talking Shutt (@TalkingShutt) August 8, 2018 #LUFC Dark blue like the old strongbow away kit. Easy the best away kit ever. https://t.co/FE6rDGCzMt — covwhite (@covwhite) August 8, 2018 Long shot but I don’t think the new #lufc away kit will be navy with the home GK being Navy too — Sam James (@sam_jamesx) August 8, 2018 Love a yellow away kit but I’d be very happy with a light blue number. Saw this on twitter last week 😍 #lufc pic.twitter.com/LejXwCwtrf — Jordan Carter (@JordanCarter10) August 8, 2018<doc-sep>So Leeds United “released “ their new away kit today, and well, it’s different. It’s blue, with some interesting patterns on it rather than a typical solid colour. And it’s not boring. The new #LUFC 2018/19 Away Kit now available to pre-order online — Leeds United (@LUFC) August 9, 2018 And, because this is Leeds, opinion is split about the new kit. People either seem to love it or hate it. Hate it should be yellow — Mip (@mipsical) August 9, 2018 This is not a good look. Its up there with the ridiculous black and lime green of several years ago. — ed (@ejbyrne1) August 9, 2018 Not going to lie, this kit is dope — Kieran Robinson (@KieranJRobinson) August 9, 2018 Love it — Paul Brace (@paulbrace66) August 9, 2018 Among the staff of TIAT opinion is also split. Jack likes it, while Ciaran and I both are a little unsure of it, although Ciaran pointed out he liked it better with someone wearing it. It does seem to look better on a player from the pictures and the video than it does against a white background, so maybe it will all work out okay. What do you think of the kit? Love it? Hate it? Let us know in the comments.<doc-sep>
Leeds United fans seldom agree on anything as a whole. The arrival of Marcelo Bielsa was a one-off and even then there were a few who weren’t convinced. The new away kit is no different, the fans are split, some love it and some hate it. Either way, it’s almost…available to buy. Can't wait to wear the new 2018/19 away kit this weekend 💙💛 #LUFC #MOT pic.twitter.com/M71VZyNf31 — Kemar Roofe (@roofe) August 9, 2018 The kit is very different to anything Leeds have ever had and the traditional yellow kit has, once again been left off the manifest for the season. Fans have been voicing their opinion since the arrival of the new kit and although on the votes circling on social media more like it than not, it’s fair to say everyone is one way or another. Leeds have moved away from the yellow kits in the last couple of years, using the blue with yellow trim two seasons ago, followed by last seasons all black away kit, a silver trim. Both have gone down very well but this one isn’t as unanimous at all, and whether or not the sales will reach those of the past few years remains to me seen. The real issue that is that there has clearly been some serious issues with the supplier this summer. The home kit was revealed just a week before the season and the away kit, although revealed today, won’t actually be available until at least the end of August. If you are to pre-order, it will be posted around August 31st, nearly a month after the season has started.
