Don't think much of the new kit.

Sooner Adidas are back, the better.

[BossHogg]

Just checked, it is.

Looks like a Crown Paints era knock off that someone made on their sewing machine. What a load of crap!

In other news John Achterberg's contract expires at the end of the season and he's announced he's decided to move on. Been goalie coach since Rafa was still in charge - 15 years.

That is horrid. I think this is the last year of the Nike deal?

As if by magic I have just had an email from LFC promoting the new kit. £125 for the match jersey.

Imagine what the price would be if you decided to put Trent's name on it too.

New retro shirt for next year unveiled, reminiscent of the 1984 shirt. (Crown Paint IIRC)

What is that all about?

Looks like he is wearing an apron over the shirt

I haven't seen a Liverpool shirt look so bad since El Hadji Diouf wore it

[Flip Martian]

No end of season parade this season (they might change that if a miracle happens and we win the PL haha). Probably the right decision I think, given the damp squib ending to the season.

Agreed. Definitely the right decision and not what Klopp would want either i'm sure. They'll give him a good send off at the last home game im sure.

ffs, once seen it cannot be unseen

[ChocolateFrog]

Looks st. Will be interesting to see if time changes my mind, kind of like most BMWs these days that look dreadful but the passage of time softens the visual blow.

The photoshoot is weird as hell too. It's not haute couture, it's a chuffing football shirt.

I mean they're both red with white pinstripes and a white collar.

That's like comparing Natalie Portman to Natialie Cassidy just because they share the same name.

The BMW i8/Porsche 996 effect

I didn't say they were identical, I said it was reminiscent of the 80s shirt, my double check was for the stripes and crown paints shirt sponsor.

It would appear Mo is doing one of those "I lost 200lbs" weightwatcher adverts?



Seriously though, WTF is going on there?

Tottenham losing to Chelsea guarantees us Champions League football next season. Thanks Spurs!

Double silver lining to the end of the season...

Do we now all descend en masse onto the Spurs thread and have a rofl. Is that how this works?

I have the chorus of Madness' "Baggy Trousers" now going around my head. WTF do they look like... And what have huge black trousers got to do with the strip anyway?
