Topic: New Kit thread

[JasonF]

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.

[stjohns]

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.

[Statto Red]

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.

You are Johan Cruyff and I claim my 5 pounds.

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.

[CentenaryBoy]

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.

They need to make up the lost Kanye West Yeezy money from somewhere.

Very quick mock-up based on the new adidas template...

Please just keep it simple adidas.

Adidas stuff would be a lot more classy if they binned the three stripes and just used their logo instead. It speaks for itself. No need for the overkill.

Not a criticism of your mock-up. Just a comment on how they shoehorn in their stripes on everything.

The three stripes are an absolutely fundamental part of their design aesthetic, and have been for half a century or more. I can't see them binning them.

[Ginieus]

Looks even worse on the players

Potentially Nike's last home kit and it's a shocker to say the least. I absolutely love the kits this season, think current home shirt is possibly one of my favourite home shirts ever.

[kennedy81]

New kit is awful. Glad the Nike thing is ending, never could stand anything Nike related.

Me neither. I just find it a bit tedious and repetitive though.

+12.

Nike have made two of the best home kits we've had in years (this years and last years), both very simple and neat, for my eyes at least. Adidas have made some awful kits as do most kit makers, its a hit or miss. I even enjoyed the 21/22 kit, even if it wasn't traditional, with the orangeish accents.

Never been a fan of adidas on our kits, three stripes overkill, which I've always associated more with Bayern. Their template for Bayern ironically next year looks really bad, so I'm expecting a mix bag with them.

Looks weird

[anfieldpurch]

Home Kit launched Thursday apparently

[whtwht]

Tron settings. Bring back Noz.

Both nike & adidas have both been a mixed bags recently, last season our white kit last season was awful [annoying as get rid of the pattern it would have been a bestseller], likely to induce headaches, & felt like their was something wrong with my TV, plus we hardly won a match when wearing it, i'm not too fussy on the green/white away kit this season, but like the purple kit.

The home kits adidas have made for United & Arsenal this season are good, must admit i do like United's white kit, but the green/white/red stripes kit is awful, Arsenal's high vis yellow kit with the awful pattern across the shirt is shocking, but like their green/navy kit.

Last season adidas made that awful high vis green/black kit for United too

14/15 Warrior and 10/12 Adidas remain the standard for bad home kits for me. I must be the only person who thinks the new one looks ok. I'd suggest the bullet proof vest thing in this case is just a result of the pretty awful photoshop

[Agent99]

Looks even worse on the players

Looks like a Rob Liefeld drawing.

[Jon2lfc]

A couple of you mentioning that the 14/15 Home kit was worse.... naahhhh.... not having that!
The 14/15 kit was poor, but at least it didn't have a terrible TRON pattern like the new one.
The new Home shirt looks like another team's away/third kit experiment.
Shite.

No way this new shirt is better than the 14/15 one.

This is much worse in my opinion

Oh god, why do I picture Charlie Adam wearing that shirt?

[rob1966]

Not mad on it but at least it looks like an LFC shirt.

Hope my youngest lad hates it, little prick has worked out been getting him blag shirts and he wants a proper shirt for next season and he's using the emotional blackmail of his brother  learning to fly on me.

[Crosby Nick]

I’ve liked our previous hood badge and pin stripe combos. Our title winning shirt was very nice. Feels like they’ve missed a bit with this one but meh, start winning in it and it’ll be fine. And the away kits seem decent.

[btroom]

[Son of Spion]

Nike's design department are clearly burnt out and jaded too. That's the kind of thing you come up with when you've run out of ideas. The collar, cut off at the collar bones is plain ugly. The whole thing looks messy and cheap. Thing is, it'll cost over a hundred quid. I suppose this is what happens when you have to reinvent a shirt every single season. There's only so many decent variations before you have to start clutching at straws and getting creative a bit silly. There's more important things in life to concern ourselves with, of course, but it's still an awful attempt if you're a highly paid sportswear designer.

[bird_lfc]

It looks cheap. I usually say when these mock ups are rolled out every year that people will moan but then say it looks better on the players, but this one just looks reallyyyy bad.

[rocco]

Tron

[killer-heels]

Wow thats really bad.

[JamesG L4]

Just Blew It

[JasonF]

Those yellow YNWA lines needed to be really subtle for it to work. Looks awful. I don't think we'll be maintaining our position of best selling home shirt this year.

Could be worse though, the shield being removed is a small win.
