Leeds United have unveiled their new home strip for the 2023/24 Championship season.
In what is Leeds’ fourth season with Adidas as their kit manufacturer, they have finally delivered what supporters have been calling out for, with all three of the club’s signature colours on there.
Alongside the, of course, primary colour of white, Adidas’ famous three stripes that run down the shoulders of the shirt, and side of the shorts, are both blue and yellow.
Leeds will wear their new kit for the first time in tomorrow’s friendly against Manchester United, in what will be Daniel Farke’s debut as manager.
One player who is set to start that game out in Oslo is Darko Gyabi, who could be set for a big role this season, if Leeds’ kit unveiling is anything to go by.
Gyabi now surely set for big Leeds role after kit unveiling
Leeds have clearly chosen carefully who models the new kit this summer given the uncertainty surrounding the futures of so many players after relegation.
However, it cannot be ignored how significant a role Gyabi has been handed for it, with the 19-year-old both centre piece of the video and pictures.
In fact, during the 43 second long video released across Leeds‘ social media platforms, Gyabi is the only player who features, and surely that would not be the case unless he was set to be handed a major first team role this season.
Leeds have big hopes for Gyabi having spent £5 million to bring him from Manchester City 12 months ago, with the Whites already rejecting enquiries from abroad for him this summer.
According to Phil Hay, Farke is set to push him into the senior reckoning over the coming season, particularly given how short Leeds are in terms of senior options in that area.
Those noises from Hay, coupled with his role in Leeds’ kit unveiling, surely means this will be his breakthrough year at Elland Road.
