Colours are often based on sales, rarely do we use a yellow kit these days even though it was used in the 70s and 80s due to I imagine poor sales. Black kits sell well hence why we use them loads in the last 15 years .

The crazy kits are often aimed at kids and foreign markets.

We’ve done a few yellow kits but always with red as the complimentary colour, we’ve done them under adidas, warrior and nike.

This should be the style of yellow kit we should go for if we do another.

Still wishing we’d do a silver-grey away a la 1989 and the season we beat Utd 4-1 at OT. Classic colours but we’ve only ever done it on these occasions

I'll be having the black one for my holidays. The white one would be great without the grey stains. I don't like the home one though, unfortunately.

Black one is very good. White one is meh. The home one is awful. The badge is a travesty. Something you'd expect on a jarg top.

Don’t get why you say the home badge is a ‘travesty’…it’s a yellow Liver Bird. Simple. What’s wrong with that?

There's a close-up somewhere in this thread which shows the bird is on top of a dodgy shield with YNWA behind the bird. It looks pretty awful, not classy as it does when standing alone.

Is that badge and the overall shirt not a nod to 95/96 shirt?

Possibly so. I absolutely hated that shirt/crest, though. Still do. One of our worst ever. My brother was getting rid of a lot of his old LFC shirts because they no longer fit him. That was the only one I declined to take off his hands.

Next season;s kits.



The home one is a disgrace. Shit pattern, shit collar, the badge is disgusting. The shade of red is okay though.
The away one had potential to be quite good, I like the colour scheme and the collar but the pattern is again just bizarre. The Nike tick being the wrong way round ... just why?
The third one I actually quite like. Simple design, simple colours. Very Liverpool in Europe like top.

A good set.

As others have said the badge on the home kit is needlessly bad but it doesn't bother me hugely.

I've not bought a kit for ages as they're too expensive and I don't want to be supporting the knock-off merchants.  Both the lads will be after them for birthday or Christmas though so I'm glad to see they're not horrible looking.  They both had the green and white kit from the official store last season and the build quality was really poor, particularly on the adhesive elements like shirt numbers.

Why have we never done a yellow and black kit since Reebok? It proper spins my head, that Reebok kit of 04/05 was one of our best. Maybe Jurgen asked not to because of the Dortmund ties or something. Feels like we’ve tried so many shite colours over the years and that one is such a classic that’s never been revisited.

The beehive kit? That was atrocious!

really needs to be a moratorium on club merch, especially the Nike stuff, having YNWA on it. there's one Converse(?) jacket that has YNWA on it about 5 times  ;D

this is probably the weakest of the set of kits we've had with Nike imo, not sure player pictures will even help.

the training gear, especially the zip-ups, seem a lot nicer, but not so keen on walking around with AXA on my chest.

Maybe true on weakest set but the bolded bit always makes me laugh, people have been saying that since I joined RAWK and every single kit release, without fail, pics come out and it's like "oh, it's not as bad worn" haha

What exactly is the grey pattern on the white kit? Does it actually depict anything or is it random markings? It's weird how some bits are larger blocks of pattern than others.

If I squint, while on my phone, that home kit looks ace.

The white one is a decent effort in parts, however the odd Nike tick makes it look like it is a knockoff bought down the market.  :-\

If I were making edits to improve the three shirts

Home kit - I would give it a plain white roll collar
White kit  - I would make the collar pure red (no white or yellow trim)
Black kit - I would make the kit black with gold collar and trim

I was really hoping Nike would do a kit without that stupid round neck/arm seam on it that means it won't fit, and then they do and put blumin' pinstripes on it. It's like they don't design these things with the bodies of middle-aged people who like cake in mind...

I keep wondering about that shirt as my favourite recent kit (as a garment for me to actually wear iyswim) is the 17-18 one with the lovely dark red and the V-neck. I baby the one I eventually found on Vinted ("might be a fake, not sure, price reflects this") but am well aware that football shirts now, especially player versions, aren't really designed to be washed and worn multiple times.

Last season's green away was great too (perhaps I was swayed by the launch video?) as was the turquoise patterened one (which I have, but got Henderson on the back so feel a bit weird about wearing it these days)

That was one of my biggest gripes with Adidas. Our kits always tended to look like an Adidas kit with a Liverpool badge on, rather than a Liverpool kit with an Adidas makers logo on.

Not quite. If Nike start putting massive swooshes on our kits then I'd agree though. Adidas used to emblazon our kits with massive Adidas stripes. Across the shoulders, down both sides and on the shorts too. All pretty tacky for me. Unnecessary overkill which lacked class.

I understand why it pisses people off, but these are great kits for me. Very much of a time, of course, but this was the fashion back then for sportswear & particularly Adidas. So is the cricket collar one.

The trackies and drill tops of that era were next level too. I had a pair of Torsion and all the Adidas Equipment stuff back then.
