I agree red white and blue are our colours but you can't whitewash the heritage just because you can't remember.

Here we go…

Yeah of course that’s exactly what I was doing

If you asked most Leeds United fans what their traditional colours were they’d say white. That’s not a fact but you’d have to be pedantic in the extreme to say that Leeds United colours are white and to all intents always have been.

Man United were yellow and green and so on.

For me your traditional colours are those that the club settled on when it hit its peak, I think the 1960s counts for that.

I'm pretty sure I said in the post you quoted the I agree the traditional colours are red white and blue. What's your problem with that?

Being a traditionalist myself and someone who doesn’t like change , it certainly raised my eyebrows when I went to the shirt launch , but looking at the bigger picture , who really cares as long as we are doing the business on the field and it’s selling in numbers. Being pedantic about our shirts home colours is way down the list of things we have to worry about as a club .There is a huge range of leisure wear in the traditional colours to choose from if the home shirt isn’t your thing ,one thing I will say from a grandparents point of view is that the home shirt will take far more ice cream, chocolate and pop abuse than the away shirt ever will
