Liverpool reveal new kit in homage to legendary manager

Liverpool have revealed their new kit for next season, an homage to the club’s most successful manager Bob Paisley to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth.

The jersey is inscribed with Paisley’s signature on the inside of the neck and maintains the deeper red shade of recent years.

The shirt features white pinstripes inspired by Liverpool’s kit in the 1982-83 season, that saw Liverpool clinch a 14th league title in Paisley’s final season as manager of the club.

Reds’ Captain Jordan Henderson told the club website: “This year’s home kit is incredibly strong.

“I’m really looking forward to wearing it every time we play at our beloved home of Anfield, as a symbol of the pride and passion you have when you’re a Red.”

On social media, fans seemed to love the kit:

Next season’s kit will be the final kit of New Balance's current deal as Liverpool's kit manufacturers.
