Cheated & used Google.
Everyone associates Leeds United today with the colour palette of white, yellow and blue. But back in the 60s and early 70 the club employed a fairly loose mix and match arrangement of kits and colours including a frequently worn (whisper it) red away kit and this all-orange ensemble that made just one outing in the 70-71 season. The one and only appearance of this orange kit saw Leeds well beaten, ensuring that their regular red away outfit was the only change strip preferred from then on that season.
Worn in: A 3-0 defeat to Stoke City at The Victoria Ground in September 1970 – and this was after Leeds had only conceded two goals in the previous seven games.

How come you're so interested ?
I've got a huge collection of football shirts in general, but loads of Leeds, obviously.
I also collect Subbuteo teams and follow kit design generally - here's a link to my round-up for this season: http://paulridgeblog.com/2015/08/06/new ... 16-part-1/
There was an orange shirt during the Revie years, as well as a red change strip, but not many sites list them.
I'm just looking for a database of ALL leeds shirts so i can keep on collecting them. For example:
Season 93-94, only 2nd kit
Season 94-95, only 2nd kit
Season 95-96, 2nd kit and 3rd kit
Season 96-97. Only 2nd kit.
I'm just asking if anybody knows about a list like this one.
, it was the 3-0 defeat at Stoke in 1970 that we wore the Orange kit.
Don & his superstitions. Got rid of the owl badge that I liked because he thought owls were bad luck.
