I'm risking a whoosh here but it is the 1973 'smiley' badge |  | | |

Yeah, no idea why they’ve reverted to it though, just odd. | |

It's as iconic to their fans as our yellow crest is to us. Other than the massive sponsors logo, it works quite well as a nice throwback kit. |  |

It's an acknowledgement of a retro kit I think? |  |

Yellow away kit is much more like Leeds though. Sheff Weds look way off them here tonight. |  |

Love it. Takes my back to the 70's. Raleigh Choppers, Glam Rock, White dog sh1t and Bobby Robson's ITFC. |  |

It's a retro thing, which is trendy at the moment with football shirts.
There was also a concern amongst the fans the red bull logo would contain a lot of red. Leeds fans have a total hatred for ManU and thus anything red. Mgmt probably thought if they add the smiling face badge which Leeds fans love it would offset any pushback on any red used |  | | |

Yes, I understand it’s retro, it’s their badge from the 70s, but can anyone explain what the hell it is/means? | |

Leeds have had something like 10+ club badges over the years to our 4. They do like to update it a lot. | |

Quote like it to be fair. As a resident of Sheffield I’d get shot if anyone knew but yeah nice little retro nod to the “ good old days “

It's been on lots of merch over the years. Very popular. 50 years since they won the league wearing it and 1975 European ' champions of Europe' cup final. | | | |

Such a one-sided game. Then again there was a big gulf between these two for most of last season. |  |

Assuming you mean this, and I am not going to get a "Woosh!" here...
It says L U the initials of Leeds United, in curvy 70s lettering.
It's a graphic design Hall of Famer. Very of its time, so not really "Classic", but an incredibly striking piece of logo art.

The L is at the bottom and the U nestles into it, like a couple spooning.
The angle of the two parts of the L is at the bottom of the badge, so the whole thing is rotated about a quarter turn from true.
Hope you can see it now! | | | |

They seem to have gone with the 1976 version

Not as bad as Sheffield Wednesday’s performance. What an ineffective shambles they are. |  |
