I'm not shocked, it seems to me, that every kid supports Liverpool these days. My young lad is 8, granted, no interest in football, but all his friends are Liverpool fans, same with all the kids in his class. 

 

I even noticed the shops as well, the liverpool gear is front and centre. It wasn't like that under new balance

No doubt at all in my mind about how much gear we shift....you see our shirts and gear everywhere all over.

 

Still skint though....

I'm in Dublin, so can only talk about here. But honestly, all the kids are wearing our gear. 

 

One of my young lads mates supports utd, well, he did, until about 4 weeks ago. Now he's wearing a salah jersey like it's going our of fashion. I asked him what the story was. He just replied "Liverpool are better to watch"

I live 'darn sarf' these days - and you see our shirts and gear everywhere.

 

I've been lucky enough down the years (and unlucky enough given some of the fucking shitholes in this country and the cunts in them) to travel a fair bit with work and again our gear/LFC fans being everywhere is a constant theme.

 

It is one of the reasons we are so hated too, as all over people will know LFC fans - i remember when i first moved down south, i was taken aback by how many people i met who were clearly born and bred down here but were LFC fans.

 

Go a theme park in the summer down here and our gear is everywhere - go on holiday it is the same.

 

Starting to see more Abu Dhabi stuff on kids too though (nowhere near us or mancs yet mind) and my lad says he knows people at school who 'support' them....clearly they are starting to get kids as kids will be won over by them winning everything and longer it goes on more it will happen.....that is inevitable sadly.

 

But yeah we are massive.

Disgraceful behaviour, I hope you slapped him and made him take the shirt off.

No, once they see the light. That's all that matters

Nike need to get that blackout cap that Klopp has been rocking recently released.

Would love to see this....

 

Deep Red for home.

 

Yellow or White too.

 

Won't happen of course as tied to nike.

That's fucking awful.

 

Any kit where the manufacturer's branding is more prominent than the club badge is fucking awful.

Good lord no

Hate them kits, many bad memories aswell. The only kit I really liked from that era was the gold 3rd kit. Though I'm not even sure on that anymore. 

 

I did like the red kit from Collymores first season

[Lee909]

I'd take these two with nike replacing umbro. Shame you have to have the kit sponsor

Nah not for me - love that kit.

 

Not as good as the 85-87 crown paints adidas or the 88/89 adidas ones but that green one love it - the red one wasn't as good but the modern version with smaller stripes like in the mock up would be boss IMO

The neck on that 95/6 shirt is awful.

 

And that gold kit is awful IMO too IMO.

 

The best adidas kits are these:

I did say I'm unsure on the gold top. I was about 12 when it came out and loved it. There's far more going on than I remembered.

It's a busy one...i think mid 90's was a grim time for kits mostly.

 

I also don't really like that really busy official club crest, more so on a shirt - just does not look right to me - so pretty much any kits with it on i have a bias against anyway.

I started getting tops a few years later, thinking about getting the white one from our friends in China.

The stripes on the sleeves fell off mine. It was fucking woeful. I remember going to buy it from Soccer City on bold street with my Dad.

I got the white one off one of those jarg sites.

 

One of the reasons i want us to go back to adidas is because they'll release all the retro stuff like they have for the mancs.

 

https://www.footy.com/blog/shirts/adidas-originals-retro-manchester-united-shirts/

 

I got the white one for £35 off 'footy classics'

 

The versions lfc sell are shite - one stripe instead of 3 on shoulders and obviously no adidas trefoil and they charge £55.

 

Mine:

New third for next season apparently.

Whoever mocked that up did a shit job with the Nike logo

Apparently it's a new variation of the Swoosh, the upturned Swoosh.

 

It's still shite as is the kit.

Nike 3rd kits next year will have them on all their major clubs next season. I can't quite get the point of it. 

 

Here's a more detailed image in this report.

The shirt (which will probably never exist) is actually decent, apart from the shit logo.

That says that the home shirt will feature an element of teal.  If it's got a picture of one, I'm all in.
