Leeds United have signed a four-year kit deal with Italian sportswear
manufacturers Macron.

The agreement, which begins at the start of next season, will replace the
current deal with Admiral.

Macron are already responsible for supply kits to Swansea City and several
clubs across Europe, and the Italian firm have described their deal with
Leeds as "the flagship of our activity".

Leeds have not confirmed the financial terms of the four-year deal, but the
United believe the contract is the most valuable held by a club outside the
Premier League.

Chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "This is an exciting partnership for the
club.

"The decision to work with Macron in preference to other international
brands who were also interested in supply kit to Leeds United was easy when
we learned that their long-term objectives for the brand complement our own
objectives.

"It's a big day for Leeds United football club. Those that have followed
Leeds United's recent history know that it's always been hand-to-mouth and
year-to-year.

"This is the first time we've been able to sit down an evaluate where we
want to be over a period of time."

Fabulous news gents!

I must say, I picked up a Macron-branded lambswool hot-water bottle cover
whilst holidaying in Bologna and it certainly is a quality piece of kit. The
profile of leeds will boost the popularity they already enjoy as a result of
their close affiliation with those other giants of Welsh football, Swansea
City.

In other breaking news, my other club also signed a new kit deal yesterday -
with little known manufacturer Nike. Granted, Ebbsfleet United are heading
in an entirely different direction to leeds, but the similarities are
uncanny. Happy days for all concerned...

New Nike kit ratified by MyFC members
Tuesday, 12 February 2008

Ebbsfleet United will have a brand new home and away kit manufactured
by Nike next season as a result of the vote at the MyFootballClub website.
In results revealed this morning, of the 13,809 who voted on the Nike
proposal, 91.26% (12,602) voted to accept Nike’s offer to supply kit and
merchandise for Ebbsfleet United, starting from the 2008/09 season.

In terms of the two chosen kit designs, MyFC is hopeful that members
will be able to pre-order the kits they voted for in the coming weeks. The
chosen home kit and away kit for 2008/09 will be revealed then.

Tell us more about this hot water bottle cover, or more specifically the
hot water bottle itself. It seems a strange item to possess if you live
in Australia and holiday in Italy :0)

It also seems strange going all the way to Italy from Australia for a
holiday. Those young Eyetie boys must really appeal to him.

To all the decent Utd posters.. I wish all the decent Utd fans and posters (You know who you are) the best of luck, hard as it was to see my team go down like that. Baldoni makes no excuse for the Arsenal performance and anyone who blames the pitch is wrong to do so. May you also perfor
