What Kit Are Leeds United Wearing Today? 2026/27 Kits Graded

Leeds built an entire wardrobe around the city rather than the club this season, tied to the 400th anniversary of the Leeds Royal Charter, and it produced two genuine firsts in the club's history.

The Home Shirt: A-

All white, as it must be, but with horizontal pinstripes, which Leeds have never worn before. The 2005/06 Admiral shirt had vertical pinstripes and gets cited constantly, so running them the other way is a real choice rather than a reissue. Unveiled July 28, 2026, and built around the 400th anniversary of the city's Royal Charter.

Grade: A-

The Away Shirt: A

The Yorkshire rose shirt, and the second club first: it carries the classic adidas Trefoil, which Leeds have never worn. An all-over rose pattern, and an old Leeds crest with a large Yorkshire rose on it instead of the current badge. Released early, on June 4, 2026, and it is the shirt that got the most attention of the three.

Grade: A

The Third Shirt: B

Dark grey and black with a tonal geometric graphic referencing the city's urban architecture and landmarks. On sale from Friday, August 21, 2026, which makes it the newest shirt in the Premier League as this season opens. Grey thirds are common. Grey thirds with a real local reference are not.

What is the Leeds United uniform for the 2026/27 season?

Leeds United have three uniforms for 2026/27: a home kit, an away kit and a third kit. Each one is described and graded on this page, and the matchday block tells you which of the three they are wearing next.

What kit are Leeds wearing today?

Leeds travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, August 22, and the white home shirt is expected. Forest’s red contrasts cleanly with white, so neither club needs to change. We update this page as each matchweek is confirmed.

What do Leeds United’s 2026/27 kits look like?

Friday, August 21, 2026, through the club’s official retail channels and online store.

The Bottom Line

Two firsts in one wardrobe is more than most clubs manage in a decade: horizontal pinstripes on the home shirt and the adidas Trefoil on the away. Tying all three to the city's 400th anniversary rather than to a past Leeds team is the smarter version of a heritage season. Matchweek 1 at Forest is a straight white-against-red fixture with no change needed.
