Leeds Rhinos news: new 3rd kit revealed to mark Super League anniversary
Leeds Rhinos have unveiled a new third kit to celebrate Super League’s 30th anniversary.
The white strip will be worn for the first time Rhinos visit Wakefield Trinity in the Betfred Challenge Cup fourth round on Friday, March 13. The special edition kit features the traditional city crest, synonymous with the era when the club was known simply as Leeds RLFC.
The 1996 campaign was the final season before the club became Leeds Rhinos. Rhinos say the inclusion of the historic city crest “reflects the pride, tradition and deep-rooted connection between the club and the city of Leeds”.
As well as the Cup tie, Rhinos will wear the heritage kit at AMT Headingley when they take on Warrington Wolves on Sunday, March 29. The sides met on the same ground in their first Super League game on March 31, 1996.
Replica shirts are available in adult (XS-6XL) and women’s (8-18) sizes, priced at £54.99. Juniors, sizes age six-14, cost £39.99. Replica shorts are available in adult (XS-3XL) and juniors, age six-14, along with replica socks for adults and juniors. Toddler kits are also available, priced at £39.99.
The full range is available at the Headingley stadium club store and Oxen retail outlet at Junction 32 in Castleford. Fans can order online via this link.
