The New Shirt

One happy Kopite

On Friday the 1st of June the new Liverpool kit for 2012/13 arrived at my door step. I would have posted about it on the Friday but there was the small matter of Brendan Rodgers being announced as Liverpool's new manager. This is Liverpool's first non Adidas shirt in over a decade. and prior to them it was Reebok.

Warrior are the clothing brand that make the shirts. A company that resides in the US and i believe already makes kits for popular sporting teams over there wither owned or associated with FSG. This is, however their first football shirt and i must say they have done a cracking job.

The shirt it's self feels great to wear, compared to the previous makers it feels lighter, less clingy and overall well designed.

The color is spot on and i like how they have taken inspiration from our shirts of the 60's and 70's by changing the club logo to the liver bird. The soft collar is also a great addition and doesn't feel like you are wearing a collared shirt at all. The change of the details is great too, going back to the mustard yellow for the sponsors name and logos is a nice touch

A special mention goes to the little detail on the back at the top of the shirt there's two flames encompassing the number 96. A fitting tribute to the 96 Liverpool fans who lost their lives at the 1989 FA Cup Semi Final at Hillsborough

Overall i am very pleased with the look, feel and overall design of this shirt. I will be a proud Kopite when i don this shirt on match days

Walk On,
