Leeds United chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "This is an exciting partnership for the club and it will enable us to work with Macron as their flagship club in Europe.

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

" The deal will see Macron supplying kits, training wear for the senior team, reserves team, and Academy. Gianluca Pavanello, Chief Executive Officer at Macron S.p.A. said:

"Macron are delighted to announce its new partnership with Leeds United, one of the greatest names in English football. We feel privileged that Macron will be associated with a club that has such a huge history and greatness.

"We feel we are joining Leeds at a time when the club is marching back towards where it belongs, in the Premiership. Leeds United will be the flagship of our activity in Europe and we will put all our resources into making sure we supply the club and its fans with the best products available.

"We would like to thank the chairman of Leeds United Mr Bates and chief executive Mr Harvey for the opportunity they have given Macron and would also like to thank Mike Farnan of RedStrike Marketing, our sponsorship agency, for helping negotiate this partnership."

    How the mighty have fallen, remember when this was a team with a Nike kit on verge of Champions league glory, now just a small club that attracts small names !! That is what greed does..

    Yes, apart from the mistake they made with both one sleeved shirts last year, Macron have made excellent kits for Swansea City - genuinely different an innovative strips, like the green and black striped kit released a couple of weeks back. I just hope that this deal doesn\'t mean that Leeds and the Swans will have pretty much identical strips from here on in.
