Really like this with the light blue. Having seen this blue on other Leeds kit/merchandise I was hoping it would continue on into a kit - thumbs up for me

love this new away shirt,i'll be having one

best kit in many years. bought the grandson the home one and its horrible.

Because he stimulates serious"beard envy"

Because he is so beautiful that he diverts attention away from the terrible "mum I've been sick all over dads best shirt" designs.

Wonder if they will wear blue shorts or white?

Because he has his tongue so far up the CEO's Harris.

The commercial side of the club must pull their hair out having to deal with that as their promotional centre piece all the time.

What is your problem with JJB, once again your irrational hatred of the guy is coming to the fore.

Last season's kit launch featured Sinny, Hall and McGuire, the year before Sinfield, Burrow and JP. Even if JJB had been used as much as you say would that be such an issue? A local product who as played 10+ years at the club as a major part of the most successful side in the club's history. Who always comes across as a positive role model whenever he is interviewed or featured in the media.

If you are modelling clothing you need particular types to do that - Joel Moon, Ryan Hall, Kallum Watkins - you get the drift?

Clothing in general I'd agree but not necessarily a rugby shirt. Whilst I'm no expert in marketing I'd imagine that the potential buyers of the shirt are not going to be swayed by who is modelling it. If that was the case why use players and not get some professional model for the launch?

Exactly, sensitive souls these people. There is no arguing his loyalty and stature. Just a ridiculous model to use for promoting and trying to sell.

If this wasn't Leeds, and the same posters saw this similar sort of model elsewhere, the view would be completely different from all of them.
