Liverpool fans, get ready to ditch your Nike gear because adidas is making a comeback as the official kit maker for the Reds starting in the 2025/26 season. With Liverpool already clinching the Premier League title for 2024/25, the hype is building up for the new kits they’ll be sporting next. The news of adidas taking over from Nike has been circulating for a while now, making it the worst-kept secret in football. This marks adidas’ third time partnering with Liverpool, having previously worked with the club from 1985 to 1996 and then again from 2006 to 2012. The deal is reported to be a multi-year agreement, likely spanning five years.
Home Kit: The upcoming home kit is said to resemble the design worn by the team between 2006 and 2008, featuring a different shade of red described as ‘strawberry’. White cuffing along the collar, sleeves, and side panels give it a fresh look, with the iconic three stripes running along the shoulders. The kit will showcase the current Liver Bird crest, the modern adidas logo, and Standard Chartered as the front-of-shirt sponsor. Fans can expect authentic match-worn versions as well as replicas to be available. The shorts and socks are anticipated to match the shirt’s ‘strawberry’ red base, staying true to Liverpool’s traditional colors.
Away Kit: The leaked design for the away kit is a mirror image of the home shirt, with a white base and red accents for a striking look. The modern adidas logo in red and the black Standard Chartered logo add to the overall aesthetic. The Liver Bird crest is reportedly set inside a red shield for this particular design.
Third Kit: For the third kit, Liverpool is rumored to embrace a ‘sea green’ color reminiscent of adidas kits from the 1990s. The rounded collar and black and white detailing give it a nostalgic feel, with the classic trefoil adidas logo and the club crest from 1987 to 1992 making an appearance. The design is a nod to the club’s history and a departure from the usual color schemes.
Goalkeeper Kits: The goalkeeper shirts are also getting a makeover, with one featuring a light green shade similar to the home kit and the other sporting a plain black look akin to the third kit. Both designs incorporate unique details like black stripes and the vintage club crest, adding a touch of individuality for the goalkeepers.
With these exciting leaks, Liverpool fans can start counting down the days until the official reveal of the new adidas kits. Whether you’re a traditionalist who loves the classic designs or a fan of the retro ‘sea green’ look, there’s something for everyone in the upcoming collection. Get ready to show your support for the Reds in style as they gear up for another thrilling season ahead.
