Quote ="The Ghost of '99"It's 150 years since Leeds St Johns was founded, 1870 being the date the club had taken to putting as the establishment year on the vintage range - except for this shirt where they have gone back to the, wholly inaccurate, "est'd 1895" marker.
So there is a totally legitimate, club-supported 150th anniversary this year but they've chosen instead to celebrate the ground's 130th? Headingley is unique and important to both Leeds and the sport but it just seems totally random to choose this when there was an easier thing to select instead.
A genuine heritage design would not have been hard either. The club played in purely white at some stage, which could have produced a nice shirt.'"
It’s a very good point about the 150th anniversary
If you look at how Leeds United celebrated their anniversary, we could have really gone to town and celebrated this historic moment
