Liverpool returned to Adidas for the 2025-26 season, ending a five-year partnership with Nike. The home kit retains the classic all-red silhouette that has defined the club since the Shankly era.
From a dispute to a dynasty
1892 · Founding
Liverpool FC was founded in 1892 after Everton left Anfield following a rent dispute with stadium owner John Houlding. Houlding simply started a new club to fill the ground. The red shirts were adopted from the start, initially shared with Everton before the split became permanent. What began as a landlord's solution became English football's most decorated club.
Browse home kits1959–1974 · Bill Shankly
The man who rebuilt the club
Bill Shankly took Liverpool from the Second Division to three First Division titles and two FA Cups. More than the trophies, he built the culture: the Kop, the passion, the identity that has never left. "If you are first you are first. If you are second, you are nothing." The foundations for everything that followed were laid by Shankly.
1974–1983 · Bob Paisley
The most successful manager in English football
Bob Paisley never wanted the job. He took it reluctantly after Shankly retired and proceeded to win three European Cups, six First Division titles and three League Cups in nine seasons. No English manager has matched that record. The 1976-77 and 1977-78 European Cups were won in consecutive years, establishing Liverpool as the dominant force in European football.
2005 · Istanbul
The Miracle of Istanbul
3-0 down at half-time to AC Milan in the Champions League final. What followed in Istanbul is one of football's greatest stories: Steven Gerrard pulled one back in the 54th minute, Smicer made it two, then Dida saved Alonso's penalty but Alonso tucked in the rebound. 3-3. Liverpool won on penalties. The 2004-05 Reebok kit became one of the most searched shirts in football history.
2015–2024 · Jurgen Klopp
Normal One, extraordinary results
Jurgen Klopp arrived in October 2015 and transformed Liverpool into a Premier League and European superpower. The 2018-19 Champions League triumph in Madrid, the first Premier League title in 30 years in 2019-20, and a front three featuring Mohamed Salah that redefined attacking football. Klopp won seven major trophies before leaving in 2024.

Kit manufacturers
Six brands have supplied Liverpool since the early 1970s, each leaving their mark on one of football's most recognisable red shirts.
Liverpool won their first four European Cups in Umbro kits. The 1976-77 and 1977-78 shirts are among the most coveted of the entire archive.
Adidas has supplied Liverpool across three separate stints. The first, from 1985 to 1996, covered the end of the great Dalglish era and the difficult early 1990s. A second stint ran from 2006 to 2012.
The decade of Reebok includes Istanbul. The 2004-05 home kit worn in the Champions League final against AC Milan is the most iconic shirt from this partnership.
Warrior Sports supplied Liverpool for three seasons as a subsidiary of New Balance. A short-lived but distinctive era covering the Brendan Rodgers years.
New Balance arrived with Klopp. Five seasons covering the rise to Champions League glory in 2019 and Salah's first Golden Boot. A popular partnership with collectors.

Iconic Liverpool kits
The shirts collectors search for most: from Paisley's European nights to Istanbul and Anfield in the floodlights.
Worn in the Champions League final against AC Milan. 3-0 down at half-time, Liverpool scored three goals in six minutes and won on penalties. Gerrard's header to make it 3-1 is one of the most watched moments in football history. Reissued repeatedly since.
Bob Paisley's Liverpool wear this Umbro kit on the way to beating Borussia Mönchengladbach in Rome. The start of the most successful era in English football. A collector essential from the pre-sponsor, pre-badge era.
The first Premier League title in 30 years, worn in New Balance. Salah, Mane and Firmino at their collective peak. Liverpool win with seven games to spare, finishing on 99 points. The last New Balance shirt before Nike took over.
The debut Adidas shirt for Liverpool arrives in a season where Kenny Dalglish wins the First Division as player-manager. The three-stripe design marks a new era. One of the most distinctive kits of the 1980s, defined by its collar and chest detailing.
Klopp arrived in October 2015, so this is his first kit rather than a full season. New Balance debut their partnership with a clean all-red design. Liverpool reach two cup finals and begin the rebuild that would lead to Champions League glory.
The final Umbro kit before Adidas. Liverpool win the First Division under Joe Fagan's successor Kenny Dalglish. The year ends in tragedy at Heysel, but the shirt itself represents the peak of the Umbro era, worn by Dalglish, Rush and Souness.
Legends
The players who made the red shirt mean something beyond football.
Kenny Dalglish
1977–1990 (player), 1985–1991 (manager)172 goals in 355 appearances. Won six First Division titles and three European Cups. The best player to wear the red shirt. Then won another two titles as manager. Still called "King Kenny" at Anfield.
Ian Rush
1980–1987, 1988–1996346 goals in 660 appearances. Liverpool's all-time top scorer. Five First Division titles, three FA Cups, five League Cups and a European Cup. The most natural goalscorer the club has ever produced.
Steven Gerrard
1998–2015186 goals in 710 appearances. The captain who carried Liverpool for over a decade. His performance in the 2005 Champions League final is the defining individual display in the club's modern era.
Michael Owen
1996–2004Ballon d'Or 2001. 158 goals in 297 appearances. Explosive pace and clinical finishing in his peak years at Anfield before moving to Real Madrid in 2004.
Fernando Torres
2007–201181 goals in 142 appearances. The most clinical Liverpool striker of the Benitez era. His first two seasons produced some of the most lethal individual performances seen at Anfield.
Mohamed Salah
2017–presentLiverpool's record Premier League scorer. Three Golden Boots, the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League title in 2020. Still at the peak of his powers under Arne Slot.
Anfield
Anfield has been Liverpool's home since 1884, when it was built for Everton. After the split, Liverpool took over and transformed it into one of the most atmospheric grounds in world football. The Kop end, first terraced and then seated, became famous for its noise and its voice: You'll Never Walk Alone sung before every home match.
A major expansion completed in 2023 raised capacity to over 61,000. The new Anfield Road stand doubled in size, making Anfield one of the largest stadiums in English football.
