Leeds United fans on Twitter aren’t happy after the club announced the design of their new away kit.
There was an image posted on social media earlier this week that sent fans into meltdown as the kit was seemingly leaked.
The fanbase’s fears have now been confirmed as the away strip is has been announced with the rumoured dark grey design and pink trim.
The Whites’ home kit announcement didn’t go down well with the fanbase a few weeks ago, and now the away kit has also had a negative reception.
Many United supporters were hung up on the fact that the club are supposed to be commemorating the club’s centenary year, and this design doesn’t represent the Yorkshire outfit’s history.
This isn’t the first misfire that Leeds have had in terms of announcing new designs for this season. Last year the Whites unveiled a new badge, but the backlash from the fanbase forced them to scrap their plans.
Here’s what the Elland Road faithful have been saying on Twitter…
???? Disgusting and embarrassing, just wrong, especially for 100 years, I hope it’s a joke, feel sorry for the players who have to wear it, and fans who have to see it

What are you doing with an appalling kit like this in our centenary season? Have you learned nothing from the whole rebranding badge debacle of last year!?!?! Didn’t consult the fans again did you?!?!
APPALLING!

Hi. Are you aware it’s our clubs centenary this season?? Just wondered why you’ve not chosen to celebrate it, and by ignoring it, upset and offended a majority of the loyal fan base? Cheers ????
