To be honest I'd do away with the actual leopard photo unless it was a 3rd jersey, save it for Magic Weekend. Cherry and White is good - Cherry and Black is excellent - 3rd strip is a bit Hull KR. All 3 are better than a Jaguar with a hint of red.

It ain't gonna happen.

It's amateurish and crass. DB must have designed it. Just design a proper rugby jersey. It isn't rocket science. Fast becoming a joke before a ball is kicked. Pathetic!

Derek , it has happened , I’ve seen the players moddeling the kit at the Forum on Monday night , the place was packed , a lot of new sponsers involved , it was very professional , and I would say 75% of the room approved of the shirt .
Myself I don’t like it , but I will be getting a polo shirt , everyone in the room I’m presuming has taken up one of the packages , I’d say around 400 fans was there , it was a very positive evening .
If fans don’t like the new shirt don’t buy it , but support this great squad of players , I’ve now heard Dereks plans for the Clubs future and I’m very excited , he means business .

Graham even though you don’t like it , a lot of fans do , Derek hasn’t designed the shirt , everything is very professional and positive , we have a great playing squad next season 80% of which are on 2 year contracts , we have an Academy team and ladies team in place , Kieron Purtill is the new Coach of them , he was at the Forum on Monday night , a lot of professional back room staff have been employed to run and promote the Club , Derek is organising big pre match entertainment , and the sponsers list is growing weekly .
Be.I even me this isn’t a joke , I don’t like the shirt , but we have to move forward ,this was explained in detail , it’s not been done overnight , yeah some won’t like it , but look at the squad of players .Without these changes we would be a mid table championship team , I don’t want the old guard running the Club .

Interesting that 300 of the 400 approved , of everyone I have spoken to, some of which are ex players, season ticket holders , casual fans I can honestly say not 1 person either liked it or approved of it, you will either love it or hate it. My own view is it looks very poor and tacky. The PR we have received has been monumental but we have put a target on our back so people shouldn’t be surprised when we are shot at

Ian, I meant the concept design. Although I do prefer the concept ones, that won't happen.

Oobviously I didn’t count the show of hands,but everyone around me seemed to put their hand up approving the shirt, I’ve said i don’t like it, but it was interesting to see the rooms reaction .

Well it certainly divides opinion that’s for sure. Was there any indication of further recruitment, understandably Lam has other pressing matters with a World Cup Final on Saturday and I don’t think there is an immediate rush to announce anything now but I do feel all the negativity around the re brand , mainly by others , has took the shine off a decently assembled squad.

Another badly kept secret. https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/rugb ... dium=email Months ago, it was touted Leutele to Leigh and McDonald to Leeds. The rumour has now come true. Shrewd bit of business from Leigh in my opinion. Go Well Nene, and thanks for the memories.
