“Elland Road Gets a Makeover: Leeds United Unveils Striking New Banners as Part of Stadium Revamp”
Elland Road, the iconic home of Leeds United, is being given a fresh new look as part of the club’s ongoing effort to modernise and re-energise its historic ground. In a symbolic moment for fans worldwide, workers have been photographed installing massive new banners across the stadium’s facade, boldly proclaiming “LEEDS UNITED” alongside the club’s crest and the stirring motto “MARCHING ON TOGETHER.”
The upgrade is part of a broader campaign to reinforce the club’s identity and heritage while signalling its ambition for the future. Club officials confirmed that the banners are just one of several improvements planned to enhance the matchday experience for supporters. The new designs celebrate Leeds United’s proud history while also providing a modern, visually striking image that will greet fans as they arrive.
In the image capturing the work in progress, three workers can be seen in high-visibility gear and helmets—one on a ladder and two on a raised platform—carefully securing the large banners to the stadium’s exterior. The scale of the new signage reflects both pride and purpose: the words “LEEDS UNITED” span the top section, while the club’s instantly recognisable crest dominates the centre, and the rallying cry “MARCHING ON TOGETHER” completes the design at the base.
Leeds United’s Chief Executive Angus Kinnear commented on the installation, saying:
> “Elland Road is more than just a football ground—it’s the heart of this club and this city. We want every supporter, player, and visitor to feel that sense of belonging and ambition the moment they see the stadium. These new banners celebrate our identity and our mission: we’re here to compete, to honour our heritage, and to keep marching on together.”
The initiative comes at a pivotal moment for Leeds United as the club seeks to build momentum both on and off the pitch. After recent challenges in the Championship and a fierce battle to return to the Premier League, the club’s leadership has doubled down on investments in infrastructure, squad development, and fan engagement.
Supporters’ groups have generally welcomed the new banners as a long-overdue facelift for the stadium’s facade. Many fans took to social media to share photos of the workers at Elland Road, praising the bold, clean design and its emphasis on the club’s colours of blue, white, and yellow.
Local businesses and city officials have also voiced support, noting that an upgraded stadium exterior enhances the image of the city of Leeds itself, which takes pride in its rich sporting heritage.
The club has promised that further improvements are on the horizon. Plans are in development for improved seating areas, hospitality suites, fan zones, and sustainability measures such as energy-efficient lighting.
For now, though, the new banners stand as a clear signal of intent: Leeds United is embracing its tradition while looking forward with optimism. As thousands of fans prepare to flood Elland Road for the upcoming season, they will do so under a banner—quite literally—of unity and determination, proudly proclaiming the words that have defined generations of su
pporters: “MARCHING ON TOGETHER.”
