New Kit

Just bumped into a mate of my brother's who works for Liverpool (merchandise side of things). He reckons that Liverpool's relationship with the Reebok people has soured since the Adidas takeover and that Liverpool wanted to start playing in the new Adidas kit in January, but they couldn't swing it with the Premier League. No pictures yet, but he said he's seen bits n bobs of the Adidas designs (fabrics, badges, trims etc) and that they're really nice. Apparently the away kit is white with a gold pin stripe - reminiscent of our kits from 84-85.

He said he'll send me any images he can get hold of.

If true this might explain the "supply problems" regarding the Champions League shirt.....

That's a good point. I've no idea about the ins and outs of why the relationship has soured though.

Maybe Liverpool didn't have to move over to Adidas - but they just fancied it and that's put Reebok's noses out of joint?

Pretty reminiscent of many of the appalling kits Adidas forced on us in the late 80s/early 90s.

quite right. the silver one springs to mind. there were far worse kits from adidas in them days. a bigger issue is the global distribution you get with adidas compared to reebok. here in spain you cannot buy a liverpool top anywhere, despite them being on tv everyweek, european champs and with spanish stars in the team etc. You can buy all sorts of nike and adidas kits but no reebok stuff so i put that down to reebok being s*** rather than LFC themselves. right or wrong..

For feck's sake we should be pumping the jerseys over to Spain these days.

 

One of them will grow up to be a European Cup-standard ref, let us not forget.

I went into Lilywhites the other day on Piccadilly circus and their foot shirts section is massive.

 

We f*cking dominate it with a whole wall given over to Champions League stuff alone.

 

chelsea next with a few racks.

 

Man Utd had one (yes one) ickle rack for all their kits.

 

Nice work Lilywhites fellas. Even if your rugby section is schit.
