It's also confirmed that Leipzig will have 100% bespoke kits instead of 'sharing' graphics with 'second-tier' clubs such as Frankfurt, Kaizer Chiefs and San Lorenzo.

We will also see a Nike Leipzig 2020-21 third kit based on the Air Max-inspired theme that we'll see next season. No specifics on the Leipzig 20-21 third kit have been leaked, however.
