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.

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."

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.
