Leeds United fans deliver verdict on 'creative' new Adidas third kit

Leeds United fans have been reacting to the launch of the club's new third kit, after the new maroon Adidas shirt was unveiled.

The club have this season entered a new record-breaking partnership with Adidas, with their home and away shorts both being extremely well-received by supporters earlier this summer.

Fans have now got their first glimpse at the new third kit and, as was the case last season when the club opted for a grey and pink away design, Leeds have opted for a less traditional colour scheme.

The maroon design is a callback to the kit Leeds wore when they in the away leg of the 1971 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final win over Juventus. With last season's grey and pink away shirt breaking sales records, the club will hope that this fresh design will also be a big hit with supporters.

The kit has certainly proved to be a big talking point on social media, with plenty of positive early reaction, as any fears that the colour scheme may be too close to a certain rival from across the Pennines proving to be unfounded.

Here is a look at some of the reaction from fans on Twitter...

The kit is available to order online from 8am on Thursday October 1st and will be available from Leeds United stores from 8am on Monday October 5th.
