Meh. Should’ve stuck with New Balance. This season’s kit is great. 

Even though we will earn more money with Nike, potentially attracting better players to bring success? What you want, Pete, is for the club to go bankrupt just so you can have a relevant avatar? 
 

Fair enough. Repped.

True but they are far better than this actual kit. The internet is awash with mock ups that piss all over these.

Yeah. I’m fed up of us being ace. We should be signing more Paul Konchesky’s and Joe Cole’s. In fact let’s get Umbro to make our kit again!!!

That it recalls the 93/94 strip doesn’t bode well for our hopes of continued success. Still, I doubt it’ll ever be worn in a competitive setting unless its usage is deferred to 21/22.

I think for players with darker skin tone could get away with it. I could see Gini or Mane looking good in that kit.

Nah, it’s rubbish. I’d never buy or wear a modern footy kit, but I still like to take an interest in them. It’s good to look good.

I don't understand why the big clubs don't stand their ground with the likes of Nike. Just tell them "every Nike Liverpool shirt sold will be bought because it's a Liverpool shirt, not because of Nike. Design us something decent that looks like a Liverpool shirt."

They'd look better in something based on a traditional white shirt or an 80s yellow, rather than a colour that can only be achieved by bingeing on avocados and full-fat milk until you vom.

Sadly you are underestimating the number of absolute meffs who actually do go into Nike shops and just buy a footy shirt because they like how it looks.

 

Not saying these designs are any good though, they're not.

Whatever you think of our new kits for next season, at least we are not being lumbered with the sort of shite Adidas have cooked up for the Mancs. That's some seriously next level eye aids shit that even Warrior would have rejected for being too out there.

 

The worry with Nike is that they'll start to really fuck about with our home kits like they have for Barcelona and Inter, to name but two. Bayern fans protested and boycotted their kits earlier this season because they were sick of the amount of blue on them. The team was doing a bit shit too, at least in the Bundesliga. They swapped the blue shorts for red and coincidentally have had an upturn in form, becoming favourites to win the league again (whenever it restarts). More importantly, they've had the club write it into the charter that home kits must be traditional red with white trim. I think Liverpool need to do something like that too, just so the sports manufacturers don't think they can take such liberties just because they pay so much.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, just make a kit based on either of these:

 

 

 

Away kit should be based on this (black shorts):

 

 

Whilst I’d prefer the third kit to be yellow, I’d not be that arsed it they changed the colour every year and/or used zany designs. Not my cup of tea but I appreciate it appeals to kids.

The green and white on the home kit is fucking grim. 

Swap the green for yellow/gold and it would be ok. 
 

But let’s be honest it’s a fucking piss poor attempt for the first home kit of a massive multi million dollar deal.

Reminds me of my grandads bathroom in Kenny. He had one of those dolls you put over the toilet roll. Everything was that colour, the wallpaper, the tiles, the floor, the ceiling, the sink, the toilet, even the damn plastic shelf and toothbrush cup. 

[Creator Supreme]

Bring back adidas, cock piss nike!

[Lisa]

I thought the half red/half white socks were bad, but these new shirts are atrocious.  Who signed off on these designs?  Cheap & Nasty!

[Oh Buoy]

Fucking hell.

 

Nike can go in the summer.

I remember chatting with my mate between the barbecue finishing and the match build up starting on champions league final day last summer at mine, about the player you immediately associate with any given shirt.

 

not necessarily the best, or even the player you most liked, but the one that just straight away jumps into mind when you see it.

 

for example, the 93-95 kit above screams Nigel Clough at me straight away. I want it to be Fowler, or Rush, but it’s not. It’s Clough.

 

So here’s some more from the nineties into the early 2000s...

 

 

 

Ronnie Rosenthal.
 

 

this should really be the diamond one, but still... John Barnes.

 

Rob Jones

 

 

Mike Marsh

 

 

Don Hutchison or Torben Piechnik

 

 

Steve McManaman

 

 

Nigel Clough

 

 

Robbie Fowler

 

 

Stan Collymore

 

 

Patrik Berger

 

 

Michael Owen

 

 

Vegard Heggem

 

 

Gary McAllister or Vladimir Smicer

 

 

Stephane Henchoz

 

 

Steven Gerrard

The only one I'd actually disagree with is the Gold Reebok kit, which is Danny Murphy for me. 

 

The Grey Candy was my first football kit. It's still a thing of absolute beauty.

The Grey Glenn Whosane Candy kit.

An idea for a little adjustment, but Nike should approve, as it means three logos instead of just one, even if they're smaller.

 

Imagine the piss boiling!

That green trim reminds me of disappointment.
