Over 1000 supporters and a media contingent were invited down to Anfield for the big launch, which saw the first Liverpool kit to be launched under the New Balance brand.
The new shirt features all white branding — the New Balance logo, the Liverbird and the Standard Chartered logo, whilst there is an all-new style of collar.
Although departing captain Steven Gerrard won’t be around to model Liverpool’s new kit next season, his dream of bowing out in the FA Cup Final on his birthday, May 31, remains alive.
Liverpool vice-captain Jordan Henderson told the club’s official website, “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.”
