Topic: New Kit thread

More likely that pic without it is from the stadium/fan replica shirt and the embossed YNWA badge is for the player/pro version.

Would be a rare incidence of the fan version being superior to the player version.

If the appalling shield has gone, then that's great. The shirt is still an awful dog's dinner though. Surely the worst home kit we've had from Nike.

It's still needlessly busy and with a shit collar but if they've fixed that monstrosity of a badge then all is forgiven. Take what you can get. I'm sceptical though, as you say it's very late in the day for such a change.

Also, sadly, looks a bit dodge with stripes not lining up and that fat seam below the shoulders.

Is that meant to be a rebuttal to my post, or just pointing out the last time it happened?

Nothing like that, just pointing out the last time it happened.

Funnily enough in late 80s adidas made kits for us, United & Arsenal at the same time, right now adidas make kits for United & Arsenal [& us from summer next year], not sure when Arsenal's adidas deal runs out.

Absolutely

I really don`t understand this love for Adidas. Why would anyone want three stripes on a Liverpool shirt? Our worst kits through have been Adidas kits in my opinion. Loaded with Adidas references. Personally I think a Liverpool kit should look like a 60s/70s kit as much as possible. Red with white collars, like this year`s kit. No chance we will get that with Adidas.

Just checked- it runs up until 2030.

Getting the three most popular PL teams is an aggressive move on their part you would think. And expensive.

Obviously, Adidas now think we are worth a big cheque; something they didn’t think ten years ago when we first threw our lot in with New Balance/Warrior.

I'm sorry to see Nike go (if this all turns out to be true), as I think they've done a pretty good job design-wise for our shirts. I'm slightly surprised they've let us slip through their fingers, especially as we're considered one of their top teams nowadays. But money talks, I suppose. I don't dislike Adidas, although they can be a bit hit and miss with their shirts. I'll be interested to see what some of the training gear and casual wear stuff is like.

I'm glad it's not Puma though; they are crap.
