Leeds United confirm kit partnership with Kappa is ending
LEEDS United have confirmed that their technical kit partnership with Italian sportswear brand Kappa will finish at the end of the 2019/20 campaign.
Kappa began manufacturing kits for the Whites in 2015 with sales growing year on year.
The current season, the club's centenary year, saw in excess of 145,000 replica shirts sold, a new record.
Information on a new kit provider will be revealed in due course.
Leeds United's executive director Paul Bell said: “On behalf of the club, our supporters, players and staff of Leeds United, I’d like to thank Kappa for their record-breaking partnership and friendship over the past five years.
“The relationship has been exceptional; Lorenzo, Remi and all of the Kappa team have worked extremely hard to enable our retail department to grow exponentially year on year with innovative designs and excellent product quality and we wish them well for the future.”
