Yellow is more traditional than black though, I couldn't care less if Leeds also wear yellow. This seasons black kit is the first one I haven't minded in about six years, they're always so boring. 

Get the white off and that should fix it or replace the blue and white with green

No hold it then it would look like Norwich.

All yellow?

Sky blue looks more like a city Nike tick and trim to me. Not sure about it

A ton of English clubs traditionally wear yellow as an away kit: Us, Arsenal, Everton, etc. From memory Leeds originally wore yellow and blue at home before they switched to copying Madrid kits.

We first had a yellow and blue away strip as a third strip in 1963/64.

Then from 1964/65-1966/67 the yellow and blue was our official change strip. We last had it ad an away strip in 2014/15.

Interestingly our first change strip was white jersey, white shorts and black socks with two blue hoops at the top of the socks.

True, I'd much rather we wore yellow though, reminds me of the 90's sides in my youth and can't forget the fa cup final in 09.

Yeah, I'd like to see it as well.

Looking back, 07/08 was the last season where we didn't have either an away or 3rd kit that was primarily black or navy blue. That was the year of the 'electric yellow' kit. Before that you've got to go right back the 01-02 season. Prior to 02-03 we'd never worn black, aside from brief flirtations with stripes.

 

New leak from footyheadlines, it's like Nike just got their basic template and slapped the crest on it.

Some folks on here were hoping for a simple blue kit, this one would cover that.

 

Personally, as long as they don't put a collar on it, I'll be happy.

Lol as expected from nike, if you think adidas is lazy.. 

Its basically city's kit with chelsea blue, sheesh people actually got paid for "designing" this

Might be the most boring Chelsea kit I've ever seen.

Well that's certainly a let down

Adding white to the sleeves is just too much hassle for Nike, boring as f**k. To be expected though, they suck.

You know it makes sense.

it harks back to 1970s so that's a thumbs up from this old duffer! 

Simultaneously reassuring and disappointing.

for some reason I dislike the word "tyres" on our shirt - not sure why but I don't like it, seems to cheapen it - Yokohama by itself would be fine.

I think it's fine, reminiscent of Autoglass.

Well so,long as it gets us a ton of money I'm not fussed.

If that is our home top for next season,then I like it.

Simple plain design.

I'm not a lover of Nike gear, that shirt is ok we've had worse, my main gripe is never having Royal Blue as our main colour.

Regards Nike/Adidas copying other clubs designs that has always gone on right back to the 70s, see Chelsea in 77/78 home get Everton, see Chelsea in 91 away get Everton, Sheff Weds also had the same away kit as us in 90 albeit in green, we had red & white hoops away, we then copied Weds away kit in 93/94.

As long as we keep white socks & have yellow blue yellow or all yellow as our main away kit i'm happy, trouble is the more garish the colour the more fans buy them for some reason.

I'd also like us to adopt yellow socks when we have to change from white like at Spurs away for example.

Me too, prefer the simple plain design. 1970 was my first time at the Bridge, so the early "Royal Blue" kit was what I grew up with, and wore whilst playing in the garden and local park. Also Yellow Blue Yellow for the away kit.

incredibly boring. Didn't really expect much more from Nike though. A decade of dull kits but at least it makes us plenty of £££. Now invest in some top players.

It's not terribly exciting, but I prefer the plain design over some over-the-top fabric woven in a way so we get 4 different shades of blue, as shown before in this thread.

 

Is it woven or weaved? Too lazy to look it up

Edited June 2, 20179 yr by Valerie

But it isn't official is it? It's only a mock up. I would be surprised if that is the the final kit. Way too plain.
