Leeds United Drop Spirited 25/26 Third Shirt With adidas

Leeds United and adidas have linked up once again to deliver a third shirt for the 2025/26 season that pulses with matchday passion and identity. Taking Elland Road's visceral vibe and distilling it into fabric, the result is a shirt that’s as much about the people as it is about the pitch.

A tribute to the ritual and rhythm of home support, the Leeds United 25/26 third shirt design from adidas draws direct inspiration from the sea of scarves that swirl in unison before kick-off. That image — iconic, electric — is reimagined through a pattern of abstract waves in royal blue and vivid yellow, layered over a deep black base. The result is visual dynamism — a jersey that moves even when still, echoing the relentless energy of the terraces.

Subtlety sits this one out. Instead, it's about feeling. From the kinetic pattern that runs throughout the body to the sharp contrast of the white Three Stripes on the shoulders, the shirt plays bold while keeping its heritage close. A sewn-on club crest locks in that traditional feel, while modern performance cuts bring it into the now.

Below the line, the look is finished with black shorts and socks, both featuring Three Stripe detailing and the LUFC wordmark. The full kit completes a slick silhouette, packed with intent, and finished with the club’s rallying cry — WE ARE LEEDS — stitched into the soul of the shirt, just as it’s stitched into the club’s DNA.
