Leeds United FC Primary Logo

Leeds United FC is one of the oldest and most successful football clubs in England. Founded in 1919, Leeds has a long history that is reflected in its primary logo. The original crest featured two white stars with blue backgrounds on either side of a central soccer ball, all surrounded by an oval frame. This design was used until 1973 when it was changed to feature three stars instead of two, representing the club’s past successes at domestic and European level competitions.

In 1984 the logo underwent another transformation when they added four stripes to represent each corner post on a pitch as well as adding yellow coloring around the edges for contrast against other teams' logos which were often red or blue-based designs at that time. In 1996 this design was simplified further to just include three white stars inside an orange circle with no additional features such as stripes or outlines - this version remains today after being updated slightly over recent years while keeping its core elements intact throughout these changes.

Finally, we come to 2019 when Leeds United unveiled its latest update; featuring new font types for lettering along with some slight alterations made to both outer circles framing their iconic star pattern within them - making sure it still remained instantly recognizable despite having modernized since first appearing almost 100 years ago! It's clear from looking back through history how much care has gone into ensuring every iteration reflects not only current trends but also pays homage to those who have supported this great club over many decades now too - something which will continue going forward from hereon out!
