In a nod to their glorious past, Liverpool has drawn inspiration from the iconic designs of the 1980s for their away kit for the 2026-27 Premier League season, much like this season’s home kit.
The new away jersey echoes the cherished white-and-red look that the team sported on the road from 1985 to 1988.
Featuring prominent sponsorship from Crown Paints and later Candy electrical appliances, these classic kits were worn during a successful period that brought the team two league titles and an FA Cup.

The original kit featured a white body with glossy tonal striping and repeated Liver bird logos, complemented by bold red accents on the collar and cuffs, along with the classic Adidas trefoil logo on the chest.
The updated version maintains the iconic color scheme, showcasing strawberry red details on a crisp white base. The V-neck collar perfectly captures the essence of the ’80s, and a “heritage” club crest—similar to the one used by Liverpool between 1987 and 1992—takes pride of place next to the trefoil logo on the chest.
At first glance, the shirt may seem simple and understated, but a closer look reveals intricate design details. The standout feature of this modern iteration is the unique geometric “LFC” graphic embossed into the fabric, inspired by the prints found on Anfield match and season tickets from the 1970s and ’80s. This thoughtful detail pays tribute to the countless fans who have experienced the stadium’s atmosphere over the years.
Vintage match tickets often featured elaborate designs and artwork, serving to turn the stubs into cherished keepsakes, while also helping to prevent counterfeiting. What a delightful piece of footballing history to incorporate! It’s the subtle touches that truly elevate this design.
