New Away kit
Black with silver badge and trim. Looks like a cycling top as its so tight. Can't find a picture that'll copy but no doubt one of the more technical amongst us will post a picture

Not a Leeds colour & unconvinced on the evidence of this photo
I tend to wear black only at funerals

Re: New Away kit
As previously stated, I'm too old for replica tops, but if I was younger, I'd buy this. Like it!

Re: New Away kit
I think it must be a homage to the Kiwi All Black who scored all those goals for us last year.
All we need now is to start every game with a HAKA to scare the opposition before we go on
and punch them on the furry front bottom.

I don't like it, I'm a traditionalist and would prefer a blue and old gold kit

I prefer us to play in all-white as much as possiblewhiteswan wrote:I don't like it, I'm a traditionalist and would prefer a blue and old gold kit
All these kits are just a money-making exercise, poor quality merchandise & priced extortionately too !

Re: New Away kit
At least we should avoid those mix and match affairs from last season!
Re: New Away kit
Strangely I do like it but only as our third kit - All White Are We
Not sure these tight tops do anything for my 20 pack but the girls in the pub seem to like it - well in my dreams anyway
Just seen the Arse Blue away kit bloody awful makes our black kit look even better

Re: New Away kit
As I said on the "other site".
The way in which the premise of an "away" kit is drawn up has changed inexorably the past 10 + years. Ever since some marketing/design whizz came up with the "it'll look good with jeans" line, clubs have been designing away kits that are far, far removed from what is "traditional". The whole point of an away kit years ago was that it was an alternative to the home one if there was a kit clash. That seems an almost secondary concern now. Some clubs (Chelsea and Man City off the top of my head) have even had a different shade of blue as their changed strip, rendering the whole avoidance of a kit clash idea utterly pointless.
In an ideal world, Leeds = all white home and all yellow away. This does still get employed from time to time (2015/16 first Kappa year being most recent) and it was great but to expect it every year is, sadly unrealistic in the current climate.
I don't think that the adoption of black means that the owners don't "get" the club (as some have suggested elsewhere). Look at any other club in the land now and none of them keep the same away colours every year. It's just the way it's gone. Personally, I'd prefer it how it was but it's yet another facet of the game that has been changed by commercialism and marketing.
Ask (for an off the top of my head example) any West Brom fan what their "classic" away kit is and they'll tell you it's the green and yellow stripes of the 70s and 80s. The vast majority of their fans of a certain age are longing for that to be reintroduced but every season they get ignored because (presumably) it's not suitable for wearing "down the pub" and those colours aren't seen as fashionable.
We are a big name club but there are other big name clubs who don't employ a classic colour away kit every year - Real Madrid, Barca, scum, Liverpool etc etc.....yes, they'll flirt with tradition by bringing in something linked to their history every couple of years but they'll all have a kit or two that really has nowt to do with tradition.
As far as our new away goes. I actually think it looks really nice purely on an aesthetic level (but then I do wear a lot of black). I might even be tempted to buy it if it were available without the huge 32 Red logo but I do understand fans (especially those of my age and older) not taking to it because of its lack of tradition. I guess that's why there is and always will be a market for retro shirts from the likes of TOFFS and Score Draw.
The away kit is now seen universally by manufacturers as something that can be messed with. I just hope that this never moves to the home kits. Nike have already managed it by bollocksing up the classic England home strip.
