Leigh Leopards announce eye-catching 2023 away kit

Leigh Leopards divided opinion with their home kit that was announced earlier this season and they’ve today announced what the players will be wearing on their travels.

One of the last sides to announce their away kit they’ve continued with their controversial leopard print design but opted for a light shade of blue, to contrast their white home shirt.

🏉BLUE MONDAY? WE GOT YOU🏉

As you can see the away shirt doesn’t feature the leopard face that was subject to much ridicule and criticism but it does still don the leopard print pattern.

Only earlier this morning Derek Beaumont, the Leopards owner, responded to ‘banter’ about those receiving gifts of the team’s training shirt.

The positive would be they had something to open but unfortunately nobody opened this it’s training kit for players only! Lots of kids loved their packages and replica shirts! Appreciate the banter tho and advertising our great club to 10k people so cheers to that and merry Xmas! https://t.co/i6FbJ2DDjU

With the away shirt being slightly less bold as the home shirt it potentially will go down well as fans of all sports, in particular rugby league love a quirky shirt.

Initial responses were good with many quick to compare it to the home shirt.

Miles better than the home kit. May actually buy.

For reference the home shirt is attached in the tweet below. What do you think is the better kit?

Who says a Leopard can't change its spots?

We listened to the feedback and now we are 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲.

We can now present our finalised 2022/23 @SuperLeague kit and polo shirt!
