Some Leeds United fans have been discussing a series of Adidas concept kit ideas for the 2020/21 season. The mock-ups were shared on Twitter via @lhuaftc and have been described as ‘minimal’ designs.
The Yorkshire-based club’s current kit manufacturer is Italian sportswear brand Kappa, however, this is the last season of the deal which started ahead of the 2015/16 campaign. From next season, a new lucrative agreement with Adidas takes effect (via Daily Mail) – and here is how some of the club’s supporters have reacted to these proposed designs.
I would be all over a green and blue striped, throw back shirt.

Bottom right, blue and yellow stripes. That’s the stuff dreams are made out of

What do we think?
Leeds United’s kit sales are some of the best in the country, despite them having been outside of the top flight since their relegation at the end of the 2003/04 season (as per the Daily Mail). The general consensus amongst these supporters appears to be that with a few tweaks, these designs would be received well by the fanbase. However, it is important to remember that these are just concept designs and nothing more at this stage.
