The announcement of Leeds United's kit for 2014/15 came far later than was customary, on 26 June with the news coming from the club's official website, which reported:
"For the new season the club returns to its famous all white strip. To enhance the purity of the design, we have worked in collaboration with our Technical Kit Provider Macron to create bespoke white Macron logos. This kit feature is exclusive to Leeds United.
"The new shirt is teamed with all white shorts and white socks. Worn together the new kit will create an imposing presence for any team visiting Elland Road. Additional details include the LUFC script embossed down both sides of the shirt and the back of the collar also features a printed LUFC script.
"Main Club Sponsor Enterprise Insurance and Secondary Shirt Sponsor Help-Link both feature on the new kit with both partners having updated brand logos."
The goalkeeper's shirt featured a distinctive green and black camouflage design.
Andrew Flowers, Managing Director at Enterprise Insurance, commented: "We are extremely proud to have the Enterprise Insurance logo on the famous white Leeds United shirt. As a lifelong supporter I am delighted to see the return of the classic all white playing strip and hope that this season is the start of a successful new era in the history of the club."
Alan Dickinson, Sales and Marketing Director at Help-Link Home, said: "We are delighted to be supporting Leeds once again. This is a new season and new beginning for the club, likewise we at Help-Link are entering a new era with the launch of our full service Help-Link Home brand; so it is extremely fitting that we move forward together."
The new home kit went on sale from 10am on Saturday 28 June and was available from the Elland Road Superstore and the Online Superstore, with a special launch event at the club store.
The standard fit short sleeved shirt retailed at £43 with the long sleeved version costing £3 more. The bodyfit shirt was £47.
On 11 August, the new away kit was released, a stylish looking navy blue kit with fine horizontal white stripes. The shirt was polo style and incorporated a sewn ribbed collar with three buttons and a tonal white and navy crest. Shorts and socks were in the same navy with horizontal white stripes and the kit carried the main Enterprise Insurance-sponsored logo with the secondary Help-Link logo also featured. The kit was worn for the first time away to Watford on 16 August.
The news had already been accidentally leaked by the Football League which had featured a picture of the new strip on their official website at the end of July.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
