Leeds United fans have enjoyed some of their best kits in recent memory over the past couple of seasons, with Adidas delivering a series of crowd-pleasing designs.

This year’s ‘smiley’ away shirt has been one of the club’s best-ever sellers, shifting 15,000 in the first day and was praised by club icon Mateusz Klich, while last year’s ‘peacock’ design was also widely recognised as one of the club’s best recent efforts.

Leeds began their partnership with Adidas in 2020/21, announcing their initial deal shortly after the Elland Road club returned to the Premier League following their 16-year top-flight exile.

The deal Leeds signed with the firm was an initial five-year contract meaning that the 2024/25 kits were due to be the final ones of this current partnership.

“We are thrilled to extend our successful partnership with Leeds United,” said Christopher Walsh, vice president brand at Adidas told the club’s website, as he promised to supply Leeds with more engaging kits.
