Leeds United away kit: Teaser spotted on city centre billboard with 'smiley' badge hint ahead of announcement — YEP 22/7/24

Leeds United have teased the announcement of their new away kit - and dropped a major design hint.

The club recently unveiled their new home kit for the 2024/25 season, to mixed reviews. While many fans complimented the design, the prominence of the colour red on the Red Bull sponsor logo proved controversial. ‘Red’ is a colour typically associated with Leeds’ bitter rivals Manchester United.

However, social media is awash with excitement regarding the imminent arrival of Leeds’ away kit announcement. A post shared on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, has shown a Leeds city centre billboard teasing the announcement.

The billboard, located near the Old Red Lion pub between Water Lane and Meadow Lane, shows the iconic Leeds ‘smiley’ badge next to a QR code. When the code is scanned, it takes fans to the club website.

There is an opportunity for supporters to register interest by submitting their details, while there is also an image of a kit announcement set-up. Once details are entered, fans are greeted with the date of July 24, presumably the date of the unveiling.

The ‘smiley’ carries historical significance, as it featured on club shirts between 1973 and 1981. During this time period, Leeds were crowned champions of the First Division and battled it out with the game’s elites.

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

Wayne Veysey Leeds United could re-sign Jack Clarke this month in a sensational move after the forward rejected a new contract at Sunderland, sources have told Football Insider. Leeds are in the market for a proven forward before the transfer window closes after Crysencio Summerville’s exit and Georginio Rutter’s soon-to-be-completed Brighton move. The west Yorkshire giants have registered an interest in the 23-year-old, but Southampton are also keen on signing him. West Ham had been interested in Clarke back in January but have not followed up on that since then. Clarke graduated from Leeds United’s academy and played for the club until 2019 when he signed for Tottenham Hotspur. The forward is under contract at the Stadium Of Light until 2026. Daniel Farke wants to add a proven forward to his squad in this window after losing two of his most creative sources. Clarke is an experienced winger who could be put straight into the starting lineup and does have the knowledge
