Author Topic: New Kit thread (Read 3539217 times)

The away kit isn’t available anywhere in the size I’m after (XL)...will that mean I’m buggered! What are the chances of the official site/Nike/any other retailer getting them in stock before Christmas?

Virgil Abloh has died so the Nike-Off-White-LeBron-LFC collab is no more.

Virgil Abloh had fingers in so many different pies from fashion to music to art, would've been great to see a LFC kit designed by him.

So these released. I think part of the issue is that Nike are stuck somewhere between trying to link everything with "traditions" without looking at the wider picture and realising it's negatively impacting their design choices. Nobody in Liverpool wears Huaraches. People outside of Liverpool in the UK might wear Huaraches but not with this weird checkered flag colourway. There'll be people who buy this regardless as per usual. But ultimately this is sale fodder.

Just give us modern designs Nike. The kit can keep to 'traditions' if you must but outside of that, make better design choices.

I agree with you.
Huaraches look kinda alright - kinda like a Marmite design - but I haven't seen them around. In fact I only know one guy who owns an old pair.

But in that 'LFC' colourway they just look shite. Even fans of Huaraches wouldn't touch them. And I can't see LFC fans touching them either. So it begs the question - who would buy them? And who are they being marketed to? Bizarre.

Personally I think Nike should 're-issue' one of their classic trainers and bring it out with LFC colourway. Tradition on top of tradition. You can't go wrong. Maybe they could start with an early Air Max release from the 90s..

agree. last season as part of the promo they rolled out some customised AM95s in our colours, but they weren't officially a release for LFC and even then, they had a white sole. most younger Scouse lads won't touch a pair of 110s with white soles it seems

just a little tasteful Liverbird embossed on the side of an iconic retro shoe where it's barely visible and no random 'YNWA's thrown around or weird colour choices would be enough.

I think in kits they've done well (debatable with some on here) and some of the training gear has been decent. but not much is really 'cool' or interesting.

Does the world need new away kits every year? Is this the best thing for our wallets and our 🌎?

No. We don´t need new home kits every year either! But money talks...

I miss the days of kits lasting 2 seasons. It's almost impossible for something to become iconic when it's replaced within 12 months.

I’d normally agree but I absolutely hate this years home kit so cannot wait until next years is released.

Brentford are going with the 2 seasons home kit to save fans money and be "greener".

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-59477716

Nice sentiment however I can't see the bigger clubs doing this, given the money they generate around the globe.

I mean how would this thread cope without the annual new kit collar pattern fume?

That would be me. 😄

They, and the collar, should be white.

I like them plain so I'm happy, although like SoS I'd rather the collar and cuffs were white. I would say though that the collar doesn't look the darker red of the cuffs and I think they should match at least. Otherwise it's all good, and as always, it'll look boss on Mo and the lads.

Can't wait for the social media outcry that it's too boring after the fits everyone had over a bit of scarlet

It's an improvement on the last two, which isn't saying much really. It's just a red t-shirt which some logos ironed/stitched on

A proper straightforward home shirt.

I’m not a fan of the Esvaphane.com done into it. Don’t understand the tie in to the city or the club.

I’m guessing the big marketing feature will be that it’s a ‘100% recycled/renewable/ethically produced materials’ kit with some sort of ‘Going Green but still a true Red’ tag line.

It's probably the kit that people have screamed for most over the years.

Some old blokes who won't buy it will still cry. Personally it's absolutely gorgeous.

The away kits will hopefully be bananas.

Fantastic. That's what a Liverpool home shirt should look like.
