Liverpool FC have officially announced the launch of their new 2025-26 home and away kits, marking the beginning of a new 10-year kit partnership with Adidas, which started on August 1, 2025[1][2]. This partnership sees Adidas return as Liverpool’s kit manufacturer for the third time in the club’s history, having previously produced kits for the Reds during the periods 1985–1996 and 2006–2012[2].
The home kit for the 2025-26 season features a classic all-red jersey finished with plain white trim, abandoning last season’s geometric pinstripes and yellow accents. The design incorporates shield-shaped white piping reminiscent of previous Adidas and Warrior kits, and includes subtle inspiration drawn from popular Adidas shirts of years past[2][3]. The crest is set within a shield, inspired by the shape of Anfield’s Main Stand roof from 1906[3].
The away kit is a clean and classic white strip, accented with red and black details. Like the home kit, there are historical references: the reframed Liver Bird crest nods to the club’s early 20th-century heritage[2][3]. The familiar “97” Hillsborough flame emblem appears on both shirts, and fans may choose to add a Decal No. 20 in tribute to the late Diogo Jota, with proceeds supporting a grassroots football project in his name through the LFC Foundation[2].
Both the home and away kits will be worn for the first time by the men’s team in early August. The home kit will debut in friendlies at Anfield against Athletic Club, while the away kit will make its first appearance in the Community Shield match versus Crystal Palace at Wembley[2]. The third kit, set for release later, is reported to feature a bold Sea Green colorway—another nod to retro Adidas designs[1][5].
