A few weeks ago, Leeds United fan CK (@ephemeraljoy) discovered us on Twitter and it’s far to say that his life hasn’t been the same since:

He plucked up the courage to make contact and, because fame has never gone to our heads, we were happy to oblige his request for late 1980s-style Kappa kits on Leeds. The home is a reworking of the Milan away style used in the 1989 and 1990 European Cup finals:
For the away, we riffed on the Sampdoria look, with the sponsor high and the crest on the sleeve (there was a temptation to put something else – like the smiley badge – in the middle of the stripes, like the Samp cross, but we resisted).
And, while Leeds didn’t have a third kit in 1989, we just couldn’t help ourselves in providing a blue alternative, based on Milan’s ‘normal’ away of the time.
