With Liverpool already confirmed Premier League champions for 2024/25, excitement is now brewing for the next campaign.

That includes the entirely new range of kits the Reds will be wearing, which are to be manufactured by returning partners adidas.

Billed as 'the worst-kept secret in football' on the front pages of the ECHO back in March, adidas were confirmed to be returning for a third stint as Liverpool's kit makers having done so between 1985 and 1996, then again between 2006 and 2012.



It was announced as a 'multi-year' deal, believed to be for five years, and will see the club leave Nike, who have been in the position since 2020.

Not only did news of a new partnership with adidas leak, so too have designs and information about key features on the Reds' next set of kits.

According to Footy Headlines, the next Liverpool home kit will bare a strong resemblance to the design worn at the start of adidas' last deal with the club, between 2006 and 2008.

It is said to be taking a different shade of red, more of a 'strawberry' colour, with white cuffing around the sides and back of the collar and sleeves, plus the iconic three stripes along the shoulders.

The detail that makes it close to the 2006/08 kit is the white stripes along each of the side panels down to the base of the shirt, though it does not share the same full collar as the previous design.

It is complete with the current Liver Bird crest used on shirts since 2012, has the modern simplified version of the adidas logo and Standard Chartered remain front-of-shirt sponsors - all of this detailing in white.

The Reds are expected to become one of adidas' 'elite clubs', meaning there will be 'authentic' versions of the kits as worn in matches and replica versions produced too.

It is anticipated that, in keeping with Liverpool tradition, the shorts and socks will be the same base 'strawberry' red as the shirt and would have the adidas three stripes incorporated somehow.

We won't know exactly until after July 1, when the changeover to the German manufacturer is made official.

Footy Headlines' leaked away kit design appears to be a reverse of the home shirt in many ways with the same design features for the collar, sleeves, three stripes - even down to the hems in the material.

Of course, the main point is that it is a white colour, with red detailing to stand out.

The modern, simplified adidas logo remains in red whereas Standard Chartered's logo is black.

One apparent key difference sees the Liver Bird crest supposedly placed inside a red shield for this design.

Liverpool's third kit is then said to be taking on the 'sea green' colour that became famous in celebrated adidas kits of the 1990s, and has continued to be used since over the years.

A rounded collar has black and white detailing, as do the ends of the sleeves with the adidas three stripes again along the shoulders.

What differs are details on the front.

Everything is in white, starting with the normal Standard Chartered logo, but this time adidas' logo is the classic trefoil one used on third kits this season by clubs they already work with.

In a huge change, the club's crest on the third kit is allegedly going to be the one used between 1987 and 1992, as per Footy Headlines' designs.

Different designs for goalkeeper shirts have appeared online.

Reporting on those, Footy Headlines have hinted towards a light green shade for one that matches the home kit in patterning, complete with black stripes and detailing.

The other resembles the style of the third kit, but a plain black shirt with a white collar, stripes and detailing on the front.
