I just don’t like how we keep messing about with the colours and designs, Blue and Amber is our brand and we should stick to it IMO, it’s not difficult to make them different every year it just takes a decent designer.

Just to add having LBS for another 3 years will take their sponsorship to 20 years, that’s pretty outstanding really

Anyone else think that the quality of Oxens kits are terrible? I really don't like the fit and feel of their shirts. They just feel cheap to me.

Whilst I quite like the look of the new shirt, over all their designs leave a lot to be desired too.

The quality is a problem, they release so much stuff, and they discount it quickly so monkeys and typewriters.

When I have been tempted to order something I want to see it in person first, I went in the shop we used to have in the Merrion centre and everything was made of that cheap plasticy material so that's put me off for a long while. After what happened with the England world cup kit, I can't be sure I am buying a kit I'll see the team actually wear.

Personally I like it.

I wonder what Warrington will chuck out this year, similar colours and always have great looking kits.

What on earth has happened to our once great club ? Has it really come to this, turning out in a fake Leeds United shirt bought from Seacroft Market in the 1980’s. Rob Oates is a nice fella, but trumpeting this shirt because it’s “so different from last seasons “ sums up everything that is currently wrong at Headingley. What about a shirt that is blue and amber, remember those colours ? What about a shirt that is easily recognisable in historically correct,true colours that represents heritage and pride ( and I mean the old fashioned use of the word pride ). I’m not renewing our season tickets for the first time in over 20 years, due to the way Rugby League has deviated so far from the true game and style it once was. I’m 57, hardly ancient, but to see what the RFL and clubs have done to our once great game takes some swallowing. This cheap, Leeds United training top might appeal to some younger followers or someone works on the highways, but for me it’s the final nail in the coffin at Headingley. Jesus Christ.

he's right in so much as the home kit should always be in your traditional colours, even though I don't mind the shirt. you mess about with the change kit.
or magic kit.
or red nose kit.
or centenary kit.
or whatever other excuse there is to fleece the fans

Top quality hyperbole right there.

Well done sir.

I agree about the home shirt. It should always be 'on brand'.

We've had one 'proper' Leeds kit in 4 years. all of those kits look like they are from a different club

Oh dear.

What "traditional" Leeds kit do you mean? The blue and yellow quarters (or even red and white hoops!) from pre NU days and the late 1890s? The all white from various periods pre WW2? Maybe the sky blue shirt/navy shorts during the 1930s? Or the light blue and amber hoops of the 20s? Or the dark blue with amber V worn by Lewis Jones and co in the 57 cup final? Or the "classic" irregular blue and amber hoops worn on and off from the 30s? Something more recent perhaps?

Its funny, because my least favourite kit ever was the quartered centenary one. But that was by far the closest to the original Leeds kit.

FWIW I quite like the look of the kit, and I thought the ad was pretty good too.

Ill be getting the player issue version, it’s far better quality material wise and they are the inly ones that me since they stopped doing XS, downside is they are far more expensive

I'm not a fan of the kit, but then again I wasn't a fan of the 2004 and 2007 versions. For some reason they both grew on me.

The one that Lewis Jones wore as he held aloft our first Champions trophy in 1961, the one that Syd Hynes wore as he held aloft trophies in the early 70’s, the one that David Ward wore as he held aloft trophies through into the 80’s, the one that Iestyn Harris wore as he hoisted the Challenge Cup aloft in 1999 and the one that Kevin Sinfield wore as he hoisted trophies aloft at the beginning of the golden era. You know the one. It’s disingenuous to say people regard anything else as our traditional kit, much like Leeds United’s traditional colours are an all white home kit a la Real Madrid and not the yellow/blue quarters pre Don Revie. I’ll tell you something now, if Leeds Utd tried playing in a mostly blue home kit, there would be riots. They will never resort to that because they’re not as desperate as us. The Leeds Utd fans understand history and heritage and would fight to protect it. They’ve had a few changes of badge but the home shirt is out of bounds. Rhinos fans will stand for the drop of York these days. By the way, if you’d be prepared to put that new shirt on your back I’d love to see what you wear down the pub on Friday night. I bet you’re fighting the ladies of with a dirty stick
