Not particularly bothered personally about a dash of red but it does worry me in how little red bull listen to the fan base. This is the sort of stuff they can plan to show they care, and it’s clear they don’t


berardibreezerbb

This will have all been organised before the announcement they were going to become sponsors.


Balding_gingerman

This reminds me of if the shit macron one we had with Netflights on it. Absolutely gash is this.

J_Philly

It really doesn’t look that bad, and those who don’t like it will forget in a couple weeks/season start. And anyone saying there shouldn’t be any red on the kit cus “lEeDS” are just being silly

RB Leipzig: Leeds Branch


mvdaytona

Wanted to say that, pretty bad looking and I’m not even a Leeds fan just wanted to check what people had to say


DanFouts

Dont love it but not the worst either imo. Better than 21/22 anyway. Dont mind red bull being a sponsor or anything but I do think the logo looks a bit cheap. In terms of how intrusive the logo is though I dont think its as bad as 32RED from a few years back which dominated the top


-Spigglesworth-

I mean I didn't buy a single 32 red shirt because the sponsor was ass. I won't be getting any of the red bull ones with that logo on them either, they literally have a blue and yellow logo they use from time to time which should have been on this shirt.


Livid_Excuse_3501

not as bad as people are making out (in my view). Still not my cup of tea but I think it looks a tad better on the players rather than on a coathanger


BreakTheSuicycle

Considering Leipzig have had kits with the logo all white or all gold etc it’s honestly baffling that they’ve made this so bright and bold I’m not a Leeds fan like so doesn’t bother me, but seems like there is far too much colour on it, blue, yellow, red and white… should have just had the blue stripes and made the logo all blue


Stufonaut

I like that.


Crocnado389

literally looks like how i envisaged aaronson in a leeds kit cunting in 30 when we signed him fake as hell


hello_6969420

Just a generic leeds home kit really


billybremnersboots

Looks absolutely awful.


pablothewizard

I usually hate our kits but I think this one's dead nice, personally.


bobbyfame

Looks fine, let's see how they play.


soapyw1

I don’t really have a problem with it.


agrownupkid_HI

I hope the team is getting a shed load of money for this partnership. I also hope it only lasts for a season or two. Then we can drop them like a bad habit.


Silent-OCN

ALAW


-Spigglesworth-

What annoys me is red bull have a blue and yellow logo they use from time to time they could have used it on our kits and it would fit really well. But they didn't and it stands out like a sore thumb. Other than that the white kit last season even without sponsors was so much better, this is just a generic plain training top, waste of money. Buy an Adidas white training top with blue strips on the arms and you'll basically have the Leeds kit but it'll only cost you about £15.


Wild-Stick9140

Somehow it's too bright and doesn't look jersey at all.


Regthedog2021

It’s all good last seasons kit is amazing - think if it as a £60 gift from the club. We don’t need a new strip


alaw999

If anyone is disappointed with this kit don't stress the away one is a beauty. Yellow / smiley / collar


BoldForsakenHuman

Half the sponsor would disappear on a yellow kit


DontWaveAtAnybody

Now I've had time to look at it, I reckon the problem is the Red Bull logo is too high. It's like they've purposely put the three logos on an equal footing. The shoulder stripes are too thick too.


Due_Pineapple5117

That's literally my only issue with it. The home kits are always just templates we had the same kit as Madrid and a few others last season but the away and third were our own. The red bull logo is a little too big or too high that's my only issue


Most_Ad_2360

Yeah, all seems bunched up. Maybe year by year the red bull logo will get closer to where the badge position is, in hope we don't notice.


TheShakyHandsMan

And the year after they hope we won’t notice the badge being replaced by the Red Bull logo entirely 


MichaelBridges8

Wonder why we stopped working with Acid FC ... I really liked them kits.


AnotherGreenWorld1

Some people would buy a turd if you put a Leeds badge on it


Kevramadam

Grown men. Crying about red on a shirt....


Jarv1223

That’s not the part though


Kevramadam

What is the part, then?


Jarv1223

It’s too high up and all the yellow parts are different colours. Also I’m not a fan of that collar design.


berardibreezerbb

Won’t be 100% sure until I see it in person but this actually looks like the first time since maybe 2018 that the club crest is actually the correct colour. Radz used to claim he had a big part in the kit designs, and he kept insisting on gold/piss yellow shades all the time instead.


Due_Pineapple5117

The yellows on the neck and the badge are the same colour. Look at my image that I took yesterday morning in JD that's doing the rounds. The yellow on the sponsor is different that's it.


WidowofBielsa

It's the part where people want Leeds to be a successful club, competing at the highest level, to be able to retain talent like Archie Grey, Raphinha etc. But in the same breath, not wanting that success to come at the cost of selling out to a business like Red Bull. It's a catch 22, we want to participate in modern football, but we want to be the same club that we've been for the past 20 or 30 years. It's the exact same as the Elland Road debate, people absolutely love the stadium because it's the heart and soul of the club, it's the only ground that we as a club have ever known. It's where we've won everything that we as a club have ever won. But it's also a ground that was built in 1897, a ground for whom's last major expansion and renovation was in 1994. We all want to keep Elland Road exactly the way it is right now, but we also all accept that in stadium terms, it's a bit of a dinosaur, and that while it might have been great for us back in the '90s and the early 2000s, if we're ever going to be serious about playing long-term Premier League football again, and eventually, European football, Elland Road is either going to need almost a complete rebuild and expansion, or we're going to have to look at building a new stadium elsewhere. It's the exact same as Red Bull. We want the money that Red Bull will give us, and all of the success and accolades that that might bring us down the line. We're just not willing to give them what they want in return.


LumpyCamera1826

The red bull logo just seems too high to me. Feel like it would look better if it was lower down


DontWaveAtAnybody

Completely. Definitely a decision made about sponsor placement. To me it looks like equal priority on the three logos, rather than the usual brand sponsoring the club If that makes sense


berardibreezerbb

It’s just bad photoshop


ASB14

At least I’ve heard of this sponsor! It’s ok, not great. Last seasons was much nicer. Will still pick it up for my son and it will probably look better on.


OverreactingBillsFan

It's not that weird to me, but that's probably because I'm a Yank and we literally have the New York Red Bulls in the MLS


CaptainUnderstood

Honestly the amount of people getting triggered by a kit is outrageous. The sponsor is OK, they’re not gonna take Red off because a few fans are too sensitive. Are you forgetting one of the most iconic games in recent history was played in our Red kit, beating City away. The collar is a nice throwback to the 70’s and the Thistle Hotel kit from the 90’s. I really don’t see the problem.


WidowofBielsa

Completely agree, and I honestly don't see the issue that people have with Red Bull as a sponsor to begin with. I would actually go so far as to say that for next year's shirt, they should perhaps look at going down the Red Bull Salzburg route and making the 'Two Bulls' logo a little bigger instead of just placing it in the middle of the shirt.


CaptainUnderstood

Funny you should say that, because as much as I like the top there was something irking me and I couldn’t place my finger on it. The logo being bigger would make this a must buy for me. That said I will definitely buy it anyway.


CC-W

Entire fanbase getting hysterical over a white shirt. Its decent, not the nicest not the worst

Badgerfest

Jokes on them - I can't even drink Red Bull because it fucks with my guts.


aftsburyshavenue

who can? that stuff is nasty


MichaelBridges8

Well it's horrible but whatever. Saves me some cash.


Immediate_Wolf3802

I like it 👌 


winter-2

Is this even real? Ampadu has blonde hair now


CC-W

They dont take all the promotion pictures a few days before the release. This will have been done before last season even ended


berusplants

I fucking hate the stuff. I can smell it a mile off and it makes me gag. It’s better than a betting company or tbh even a booze company, but still….


Milkshake4NickDrake

The ranking from worst to best types of sponsors is: - Oil states and their airlines - Betting companies - Energy drinks - Boilers - Theme parks that have flamingoes


BoldForsakenHuman

i know you're joking, but fuck Flamingo Land https://theferret.scot/flamingo-land-tory-failed-to-pay-minimum-wage/ https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/24421919.flamingo-land-owner-gordon-gibb-backs-reforms-mark-robinson/


Milkshake4NickDrake

Oh shit. We need to club together and set up an ethical, non-right wing maniac theme park that has flamingoes.


WidowofBielsa

Yeah. But here's the thing about that. Find me a single Newcastle United supporter that genuinely, hand on heart, would tell you that they would rather go back to being the club that they were under Mike Ashley than where they are now. I've got a few Geordie mates that were a bit iffy about the Saudis buying their club out, human rights violations etc. We had this exact same discussion a couple of days ago when I was talking to them about Red Bull, and they tell me that they genuinely can't remember what life was like under Ashley. That's how much it's changed. That's the thing about success, everyone wants it, they just don't want to pay the price for it, at least until they have it. If Leeds do get promoted back to the Premier League at the end of this season, I guarantee you, every single penny that I own, this shirt will become iconic.


Milkshake4NickDrake

I support Leeds 100% and will be cheering for them in this kit as much as any other kit. If Red Bull started chopping up journalists in the Turkish embassy I might start feeling less enthusiastic though.


KDL3

Look like something out of the middle aisle in Lidl with those colours


crimeblr

red!!!???!!!!!!


Pariah--

I genuinely don't mind it. I'd much rather be sponsored by an energy drink than a predatory betting company or a Saudi royal asset.


MichaelBridges8

Whilst I agree, we all know why red bull are really sponsoring us. There's no way it doesn't turn into ownership at some point imo.


WidowofBielsa

And even if it does, what's the issue? People are worried that they're going to change the name, the crest, the club colours etc. And sure, that would be super easy for them to do if we were an irrelevant, unknown 7th division club like SSV Markranstadt were before they were rebranded into Red Bull Leipzig. Not so easy to do if you're one of the most historically recognisable clubs in England. People are also forgetting that there are rules and legislation in place to prevent exactly what they think is going to happen from actually happening, Independent regulators etc. Red Bull actually taking over the club in its entirety really wouldn't be the worst thing in the world like some people on Reddit are trying to make out that it would be.


the_comedians

That's a low bar. Football's a mess, int it


poppyo13

It's fine - they bang them out each year and change them a little. Would look a lot better with the Adidas trefoil... Puma seem to be making the best kits these days that stick to traditional styling. Adidas is just cookie cutter rubbish - look at how many international kits in the euros follow the same template.


Trylonia

Anyone else reckon there’s room for a 2nd sponsor?


djgreedo

I suppose it will look better in May when we win the league in it?


CoachCrunch12

This looks like something you’d get in a Swag Bag at an energy drink convention


King_Asgore_Dreemurr

It literally doesn't though?


luisshirt

Jarv1223

What’s a spurs fan doing here?


Warhawk2800

I've found where the fucker came from! it's shirt mockup by classicshirts on twitter. [https://x.com/classicshirts/status/1796117818842173837](https://x.com/classicshirts/status/1796117818842173837) from May 30th Only difference is the collar. Here's me hoping it's all just photoshops and fakes based off this.


NoCommunication6825

That’s just last year’s shirt with the sponsor changed, it’s even got the peacock feathers.


jimmilazers

Waitingforadragon

I like it.


ElvishMystical

What have they done with Ethan Ampadu? He looks like something you find in a taxidermist's shop window? We need a better photographer especially for the team news tweets. Can't be having Piroe looking like he's just been kicked in the nuts. This doesn't look as edgy as someone thinks it does.


cmc42

That’s Madame Tussauds version of Ampadu


notagain78

It'll save me money anyway


BulldenChoppahYus

The logo is too high. I can cope with the red but ffs this is just t shirt 101. No way I’m buying this.


berardibreezerbb

Could just be bad photoshop tbh, didn’t look that high on the photos of the real thing


Hollywood-is-DOA

The red part should have been blue.


No_Coyote_557

Thought DJ would have a scar, but it's healed up nicely


jimmilazers

He has, they’ve photoshopped it out


spiritofbuck

Wait until you see it on Big Chris in Asda


Dinsdaleart

Actually growing on me ngl. Thought it looked wank at first but seeing it on the lads I quite like it. Not as good as last seasons but not bad tbh


Meefius

The only problem i have with it, is that it looks really high up? Im glad we have a big name sponsor and not a betting company etc.

FlailingSalami

Not the best, certainly not the worst.. the moaning is annoying though. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.. MOT


Damnpea

It's just so.... Dull. I loved the integration of the peacock feathers last year, the theme running throughout all three kits. This is cut and paste, quick Canva jobby. Best selling home kit last season to, hopefully, worst. Yellow kit better be a fucking cracker.


BlackMountain666

I agree, Adidas haven’t been imaginative this season. It’s the exact same template as Scum United’s shirt.


cpmb82

If you’re going to buy the shirt, just peel off the red bull logo if you don’t like it


buckwurst

I hope someone who knows how that would work can experiment and make us a youtube video showing how to remove it without wrecking the shirt


ignaciopatrick100

Oh ,so this is real? I thought it was a joke ?? Please tell me that it isn't designed by a 7 year old.kid with canva ??


Ispiniallday

I won’t


shingaladaz

You shouldn’t


doublendren

honestly couldn’t give a fuck, you guys are wild for caring. ALAW


shingaladaz

Cool. Announce full red kit from back in the day. :)


joeycrushed

Mental that I'd prefer a boiler company on the front for the aesthetic


shingaladaz

Sponsors make or break the kit, don’t they? Enterprise or 32Red?


GussieFinkNewtle

B O X T is sort of a rad typographical graphic.


joeycrushed

I guess the stark red bull non representative colours really fuck it up which is probably intentional. We are red bull before Leeds.


shingaladaz

Look. It’s not the best kit we’ve had. It’s not the best sponsor / partnership we’ve had, but commercially it signifies that we’re a big club with aspirations. We’ll have better kits that go alongside success in the near future. With or without these owners.


white-label

There's a fair chance all our kits from now on will look like this. Red Bull clearly have some say in it currently and they'll be buying the club when the 49ers sell.


shingaladaz

Do you have a source on RB buying the club? I’ve been disconnected from things recently. Thx


white-label

Just conjecture, don't worry. But the 49ers will be selling the club, they're not here forever, and Red Bull will be first in line to buy them out.


shingaladaz

I’m not worried. I just wanted to know as I recall the chairman saying something about getting us to £1.5Bn valuation before selling.


berardibreezerbb

You mean with Red Bull as the owners instead?


shingaladaz

How likely is that? In his presser the chairman talks about getting us to £1.5bh value before selling.


spiritofbuck

Aspirations to flog all our best players.


shingaladaz

Touché.


CatholicLeeds

It’s not that bad can we all stop complaining Red Bull is keeping us financially stable after we didn’t get promoted be thankful they’re willing to invest in the club only complaint I have is the sponsor is a bit too high


spiritofbuck

Be thankful? For what? This is Leeds United, not the Dog & Duck. Their goal is to takeover the club and add it to their stable at a cut rate.


CatholicLeeds

Be thankful they’re investing in a club they’ll ultimately lose money in this season? And they’re minority owners. The board already said it’s not up for discussion changing the badge, name, colors, etc.


spiritofbuck

I’ve a bridge to sell you if you believe that. We aren’t short of investors or interest. We don’t need to thank a multi billion £ corporation for scraps from their table.


shingaladaz

Yeah, the sponsor is proper front and centre. Very pushy, like.


Hostilian_

“Proper front and centre” Bro it’s a sponsor 😭😭


shingaladaz

:) You know what I mean.


Jarv1223

Oh my god. It is isn’t it? You started to convince me that I was just overreacting but now this is irredeemable. Why is it so high up??😂


DrySkidMark

RB Leeds United


OJM_O66

Honestly, I don't mind it. It would probably look better without the stripes down the sides and shoulders - but as that's Adidas' whole design, that's never gonna happen.


LastLapPodcast

I'm with you, I think I've seen a lot worse kits out there. I think it would have been nice if they'd have used the blue and white/silver logo they use on some cans but if the pain of having massive investment is a slightly garish logo then I'll live with it.


upsocket

When was this supposedly taken? Dan James still has a cut on his forehead and Ampadu-du-du has got different coloured hair. Is there anything official saying this is the kit or are we just gonna wait for the announcement on the 7th?


Wonderful_Meal_9685

Announcements on Friday and kits are chosen halfway through a season so I’m assuming before the playoff final


Jarv1223

Well this exact kit was found in JD and this is a JD poster so I’m pretty confident it’s the actual kit. They probably took this photo ages ago tbh.


ibBIGMAC

tbh, it's not amazing but it's fine? I don't really get the disgust a lot of ppl are reacting with to this.


xdlols

Because our fan base is full of absolute fucking moaners.


shingaladaz

It’s not just our fan base, pal. Everyone moans about everything these days and football is where people get to vent their frustrations. We should all cut each other some slack - we’re all in the same boat.


Jarv1223

The sponser looks so out of place, also the colours don’t compliment eachother very well. But more importantly for me, the circle in the middle of the Red Bull logo, the yellow in the Leeds badge and then the collar are all different fecking shades of yellow.


TheShakyHandsMan

They’re part owners now so the sponsor logo is here to stay.  Shirt styling all seems to be on Adidas though so as long as they provide our kits we’re at their mercy.  Question is how many fans will stop buying the shirt because of it? A lot of us aren’t fans of the new kit but that’s probably not enough to stop people buying the new kit every year. 


shingaladaz

I won’t buy this kit this season so hopefully the away or third are decent because I need one to put Rodon on after I found out he turned down multiple PL clubs to stay with us. What a man.


LiquidPlump

How much longer do we have Adidas as our shirt sponsor and is there anyone else who will do it better? With the exception of the WBA shirts which look beautiful I've not seen any other team that impressed by their strip this year. I won't be buying this shirt, I have enough leeds home shirts and this one is so underwhelming I see no reason to buy it. The rumoured yellow away kit with the smiley however....


Linkeron1

You've got to be joking? Those WBA shirts are awful. Away one looks like a training top.


cwd696

I have to disagree. I feel it looks much better in these photos than in the leaks. It’s not a great kit, but certainly not the worst kit to ever exist.. Just very underwhelming. Hoping for better out of the away kit.


shingaladaz

You can’t see the Admiral/Macron-esque lines on the side in this photo. So there’s that…

AWr1ght98

That’s horrific


shingaladaz

It’s the kit but with blue bulls.


AWr1ght98

Thanks for the audio description, the blue bulls looks horrific


Jarv1223

Wrong shade of blue, found it on twitter.


Jarv1223

The collar is terrible


nicbongo

I think that's actually the best part, they kept the coloured stripes going. They didn't continue it she the top of the sleeves, and the red bull yellow is again, another yellow - different from collar and badge. Super lazy design.


Jarv1223

I just don’t like the gap in the middle, prefer when it goes all the way round.


Ardal

Maybe a bit of blue textile paint on the bulls and it will look better ;)

Someone on Twitter photoshopped this, which is the actual kit but with the bulls changed to blue. OP posted it above and wasn’t well received. “Horrific” was one reply. Some people can’t be pleased.


Ardal

That's so much better :)

I reckon it looks a lot better on them then it will on me and my beer belly 😄
