Liverpool players pose in the new kits for next season

Liverpool have unveiled their new home kit for the 2015-16 season, which features a classical design and a unique kit collar. More than 1,000 fans arrived at the unveiling to catch a glimpse of what their team will be wearing next season. The new kit will be manufactured by New Balance along with a record-breaking sponsorship deal worth £300 million.

This is the first time in 16+ years that captain and boyhood Liverpudlian Steven Gerrard won’t be wearing the kit and he was not involved in the unveiling of the new shirts.

Martin Skrtel, Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge unveiled the redesigned strip at Anfield on Friday. Liverpool’s vice-captain Jordan Henderson said, “Our fans create a great atmosphere at Anfield, and it is great to have a kit that reflects the red and white mosaic made when the fans on the Kop hold their flags and scarves aloft.

“The kit feels great and I’m pleased the New Balance team considered what the players need from a kit when it was designed. The material is very comfortable and the players are delighted with the result.”

Billy Hogan, Liverpool’s chief commercial officer, said, “We are very excited to be launching our first kit in partnership with New Balance, which is one of the world’s leading sportswear brands.

“Like LFC, New Balance has over 100 years of heritage and it’s fitting that the first kit launched as part of this record-breaking partnership celebrates the club’s illustrious history and worldwide fanbase.” he added.

On the front of the New Balance Liverpool Kit is a chequered pattern with differently sized squares.
