‘Doesn’t Sound Great’ ‘There We Go, Ugly Kits Incoming’ Fans Not Happy With Leaks About Liverpool’s New Nike Home Shirt Design

The first information about Liverpool’s new home shirt by Nike for next season has surfaced, with Footyheadlines.com claiming they have details regarding the colours that will be used.

They report that the red shade will be derived from Portugal’s World Cup 2018 kit, with white and teal trimming. The combination of colours (especially teal) has not gone down well with some Reds fans on Twitter:

Others have been reminded of a particular Adidas kit from the 90s which used the same colour scheme:

It would be a bold choice by Nike to use teal in their first design, especially as they are trying to ingratiate themselves to Liverpool supporters following the switch from New Balance.

New Balance (and Warrior) were also known for making bold design decisions (mostly in the away kits), but most of their choices paid off. We will have to wait a while to see the final design as Nike won’t be able to officially release their home kit until after New Balance’s contract expires in June.
