Liverpool’s first home kit under their new deal with Adidas will be a throwback to one of the most popular kits they have previously worked with the manufacturer.
Liverpool will replace Nike with Adidas next season as the German manufacturer takes on the role of the club’s official kit supplier.
This will be his third spell wearing the Adidas kit, spanning from 1985 to 1996 and again from 2006 to 2012.
Arguably Liverpool’s best kit of all time belongs to Adidas, and fans will be expecting more after receiving mixed reviews for Nike’s products.
With work underway to finalize the design for the 2025/26 campaign, Footy Headlines report that Adidas is planning to re-release one of its older home kits.
Liverpool are expected to wear a similar shirt to the one they wore when they reached the Champions League final for the second time under Rafa Benítez in 2006/07.
It is claimed that the new Adidas home kit is “basically based on the collarless 2006/07 home shirt”.
This means a simple design with a white border around the body of the shirt and the iconic three stripes along the arms.
The 2006/07 season was the first since Liverpool swapped Reebok for Adidas for a second contract with the brand. This certainly makes sense from a marketing perspective.
Among fans, the kit Benitez wears for his third season in charge is likely to be a popular choice, with many likely to find it popular.
It will bring back memories of the semi-final win over Chelsea in the Champions League and a team featuring Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, Jamie Carragher, Dirk Kuyt, John Arne Riise, Jermaine Pennant and Peter Crouch at the core.
It’s customary for clubs to debut their new home kits in the final game of the season, but that won’t be the case for Liverpool this time.
With the terms of the deal with Nike almost impossible, the club is likely to release its first Adidas home kit after the end of the campaign instead.
Liverpool are expected to wear white in their away kit and green in their third kit next season, with Adidas reportedly planning to include the former club’s badge in the replacement kit.
