That away kit is top notch. Ordered one myself but have had to swap sizes for a smaller one, I think they are a bigger fitting than last seasons shirts somehow

Maybe it’s just me. I think away kit is awful.

Does anyone a else agree?  Or am i in a group of one.

I'm with you CR, I hate black kits, refs only in my opinion, started with Man Utd wanting to look like a camcorder

I personally like the black strips and think this one looks mint. Since i've not spent a lot on Rovers recently I think I will make a purchase.

I'm not a fan of the colour scheme so wouldn't buy it myself, but I do think it's a smart design and can see why people have really responded.

I really like the kit. However I do think Rovers should always have a green away kit.

No doubt its an "age" or era thing as mark my words someone will be on advocating Rovers away kits should always be African Violet !

Shouldn't away kits always be African Violet?

You’ll have spent your money on the new Adidas Leeds kit anyway won’t you? 😉
On a serious note I wasn’t sure myself but I saw a really handsome chap wearing it last night in the Ridgewood and I’m converted. The black and grey badge on the black and grey shirt is quite effective!

I didn’t want anyone to know I had been in the Ridgewood last night.

I don't usually wear a Rovers shirt when I'm out because a lot of pubs don't allow them, but no one objected to me wearing my new away shirt in the Ridgewood last night.

  Do they make special ones with a bulge at the front BB.

I'm not sure Selby. I'm passing the shop today so I'll ask them. What size are you?

Are you spending too time in the Shoulder of Mutton Brian?

Guess what. I have never purchased a replica Leeds United shirt in my life. They didn’t have them in the 60’s & 70’s  :crying:   ;)

Oh by the way i have had loads of Rovers ones. Probably more than a dozen and loads of other merchandise also.
My 8 yr old grandson wears Rovers shirts also.

Hope that makes you happy Beast even though you weren’t being serious!!!

Not sure about the shirts mate, but they do make special shorts for me.
