Leeds fans say ‘EFL days have truly returned’ as club unveils ‘in case of emergency break glass’ sponsor
LEEDS fans think the “EFL days have truly returned” with the club unveiling their sleeve sponsor for next season.
They were relegated to the Championship last season after three years in the Premier League.
The EFL are allowing brands to be on the sleeve of kits for the first time this approaching campaign.
And local amusement park Flamingo Land have taken the opportunity to be involved with the team again.
Leeds‘ academy was sponsored by them 13 years ago and during the season the players visited the attraction.
The day out produced hilarious photos of manager Neil Warnock on a pretend motorbike, Sam Byram with a lemur on his shoulders and the squad on a rollercoaster.
Fans have reacted to news of Flamingo Land’s return with one saying: “Screams Championship.”
Another added: “Leeds United are BACK, baby. We’ve reached peak EFL again.”
More reacted: “The ‘in case of emergency break glass’ local commercial deal.”
A fourth added: “I don’t think relegation had truly sunk in until I saw this.”

Others said: “To be fair supporting this club is a rollercoaster so makes perfect sense.”
Fans also joked that the club should get a pink away kit in tribute to a flamingo’s colour.
Leeds’ main shirt sponsor is boiler brand BOXT.
And several players may not hang about to play in it with rumours suggesting that Wilfried Gnonto, Tyler Adams and Rodrigo will all leave the club this summer.
