Liverpool FC has officially launched their home kit for the 2024/25 season, drawing heavily on a vintage aesthetic that echoes the glory days of 1984—a year that remains etched in the hearts of its fanbase.

Retro Design Meets Modern Performance
In a nod to the past, the new kit features a design reminiscent of the one worn by club legends like Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush during their victorious 1984 European Cup campaign. The shirt is distinguished by a sleek collar accented with classic yellow and red details, and the iconic “YNWA” (You’ll Never Walk Alone) motto is subtly integrated into the fabric, adding a layer of club pride and history.
The kit’s shorts complement the jersey with yellow and white side panels that enhance the visual appeal while maintaining athletic functionality. At the neck of the jersey, a ’97-emblem’ flanked by eternal flames pays homage to the individuals who tragically lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster, ensuring their memory continues to resonate with every game.
Advanced Technology for Peak Performance
Crafted using Nike’s Dri-Fit ADV technology, the new Liverpool kit is at the pinnacle of sportswear design. This advanced technology ensures optimal breathability and moisture-wicking properties, which are essential during the intense moments of a match. This means players are kept cool and dry, allowing them to perform at their best throughout the full ninety minutes.
Exclusive Comments from the Team
Club captain Virgil van Dijk expressed his enthusiasm for the new design, stating, “The shirt for next season is exciting and I like the detailing. Having You’ll Never Walk Alone on it is just something special, it’s the culture of the club worn proudly on the kit.”
Taylor Hinds, the women’s vice-captain, also shared her thoughts: “It’s such a different look for the new season, and we can’t wait to wear it. The retro inspiration always makes you feel a part of the club’s history is with you as you play.”
Sustainability at the Forefront
In line with Liverpool’s commitment to environmental sustainability, the entire kit is manufactured from recycled polyester, sourced from plastic bottles. This initiative is part of Nike’s broader effort to reduce environmental impact. Additionally, the use of water-based inks, particularly for kits used in cup competitions and friendlies, underscores the club’s ongoing commitment to eco-friendly practices.
Available for Pre-order Now
Fans eager to get their hands on the new kit won’t have to wait long. It is available for pre-order starting today through LFC’s official online store, official stores worldwide, and the LFC Retail App, with deliveries set to begin on 16 May.
This blend of historic inspiration, modern technology, and a commitment to sustainability is sure to make the Liverpool 2024/25 home kit a significant symbol in the club’s new era under manager Arne Slot. With this kit, Liverpool not only remembers its illustrious past but also strides confidently towards future glory.
