Leeds launched a new “centenary collection” just in time to celebrate a 100 years of Leeds United. And these shirts, keychains, wallets, etc., all look great.
So where are the new kits?
Inspired by legends, check out the exciting new #LUFC centenary collection in-store and online now!

Last season, Leeds launched a new store without new kits, revealed the away kit after the season started and didn’t launch third kit until November, none of which made the club look very good at planning merchandise sales. And so now, while a lot of clubs have already launched their new kits and have already started selling them, we’re still waiting for a new kit for the Centenary Season.
The maddest part of all of this is that if any club would want to find a way to maximize their merchandise sales, it’s Leeds United. The club earns more revenue than any other Championship club if parachute payments are not taken into account, and a sizable chunk of that money comes from merchandise sales. It’s literally too important to the club to get this wrong all the time.
Anyway, see what the new stuff is, buy some stuff, and maybe Leeds will buy a new striker or something with the money.
