Leeds only sell through themselves, not through other retailers. A business descision taken by Bates to ensure the majority of profits from the sales or replica kit go to the club not JJB sports or Sports Direct.

Bizarre that. HMV in Donny is full of Leeds stuff.

Don't know if HMV have a presence in the Republic. May be worth a try.

I always bought my stuff in the Leeds shop in either the White Rose/Wakefield. Until Uncle Ken came along and decided they weren't financially viable...

The official replica kit is only sold via the club (website or ER shop) anyway, so the club actually gets a fair amount of the money.

You can always get great quality LUFC gear from WAFLL, who promote MOTForum - and from RetroLeeds, that is run by an MOTForum member.
