    Two big anniversaries coming up next season:
    • It's the 100th anniversary of City getting relegated from the old Division 1; and
    • the 50th anniversary of relegation from the old Division 4.
    Not sure we want to mark those two events though.

    On a much more positive note it will be the 40th anniversary of Roy McFarland leading us to automatic promotion from the old Division 4, when we amassed 91 points and 88 goals.

    If we are looking for kits from our greatest successes then maybe one of the following:
    • 1907/08, Division 2 Champions, claret shirt with small amber yoke, white shorts.
    • 1910/11, FA Cup Winners (& highest ever league position), claret shirt with large amber yoke, white shorts.
    • 1928/29, Division 3(N) Champions, claret & amber narrow stripes, white shorts.
    • 1984/85, Division 3 Champions, all white strip with claret & amber edgings.
    • 1998/99, Promotion to the Premier League, claret & amber narrow stripes, black shorts (although promotion was achieved in our white away kit).
    • 2012/13, League Cup Finalists (& promoted at Wembley), claret & amber hooped shirts, white shorts.

    Leeds United official club colours are blue and yellow and is still the club badge, They played in blue and yellow stripes in the old first and second division before changing to all white with blue and yellow trim and have been successful ever since,
    Coincidence?

    Had a look at the Historical Kits website. I cannot find a ‘pin stripe’ in 1972-74?

    The only Pin stipe I can see is this earlier one (apart from the disappointing 2010-2011). Which I actually like!

    Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the ‘Mighty’ (who nearly won the European Cup you know), were relegated to League 1 in 2007 and spent 3 seasons at that level. They also have spent most seasons in the Championship this century. Yes they are successful currently (as were Sheffield United a mere 12 months ago), but to say ‘ever since’ is a complete distortion of the reality!

    That's because there wasn't one as your research indicates. :)

    Think of this as another example of nonsense from the site's latest wum. It sits alongside his other claim that Sparks would sack T&S yesterday before 4.00pm

    Can anyone point me to the interview that Sparks gave when he talked about the kit? I can not find it after searching

    It was in a Radio Leeds interview about 3-4 weeks ago, but I can’t find a link.

    Our promotion to the PL home kit was black shorts, not white.

    Not the pink / ref kit, camp as

    All white with claret and Amber trim for the home kit would look cool

    Yes I do. The one we had when Daisy and Bobby were a lethal pair was one of my favourites
