Grizz Khan: Liverpool’s New Adidas Kits Bring Excitement
Adidas are set to return as the Reds’ kit manufacturer for the 2025/26 season. On the Daily Red Podcast hosted by Anfield Index, Dave Davis and Grizz Khan shifted from the pain of the Forest match to the joy of seeing the new kit leaks. The conversation provided an interesting insight into what Adidas might bring to Liverpool’s next era of footballing attire.
Adidas Set to Return in 2025/26
Adidas will be taking over from Nike, who has been the kit supplier since 2020. Grizz Khan, a long-time fan of the brand, couldn’t hide his enthusiasm about the switch. “I’ve always associated Liverpool with Adidas,” he said, reflecting on the iconic kits from the 1980s when Adidas was last associated with Liverpool. He added, “All I remember is those Adidas kits, and I’ve always been an Adidas man.”
The excitement surrounding the leaked designs has grown, particularly with the news that Adidas plans to release three kits, each with its own distinct crest. According to insider FumlerRawk, this is likely a nod to different eras of Liverpool’s rich history. “These kits look sensational,” Grizz noted during the podcast, expressing his joy over Adidas’ potential to deliver standout designs that respect Liverpool’s past while also embracing modernity.
A Return to Tradition with a Modern Twist
One of the most intriguing aspects of the leaked Adidas designs is the return to a darker hue of red, accompanied by white logos. Grizz emphasized the significance of this color scheme, noting, “It’s almost a return to the old days but with a new, modern look.” The combination of strong red and white harks back to classic Liverpool kits, but the subtle modernization ensures the team’s look remains fresh and competitive in the 2025/26 season.
Dave Davis, echoing Grizz’s excitement, remarked, “All our best successes came in Adidas kits.” It’s a sentiment that resonates with many Liverpool fans, who remember legendary players like Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush wearing those famous three stripes during the club’s golden era. The possibility of recapturing that magic with a brand-new design has understandably set the fanbase alight.

What to Expect from the New Adidas Kits
While the exact details of the Adidas designs are still under wraps, the leaks have provided enough for fans to get excited about. FumlerRawk, who has a strong track record with kit predictions, has suggested that the Tiro 25 design will serve as the base for Liverpool’s 2025/26 home kit. This will see a classic Adidas template that has been used effectively for other top clubs around Europe.
Grizz, describing the leaks, said, “We’re both grown men, yet here we are, salivating over the kits.” The nostalgic pull of Adidas, combined with the innovation expected in the new designs, has left fans like Grizz hopeful that Liverpool will not only look sharp on the pitch but continue their push for trophies both domestically and in Europe.
One of the standout features, according to the podcast hosts, is the rumoured green third kit. Grizz gushed over its design: “The green one is absolute gold.” With a mix of modern aesthetics and retro influences, the third kit seems to be the most anticipated of the trio, capturing the imagination of fans who remember Liverpool’s iconic green and white kits from years past.
Adidas Era Marks a Fresh Start
In many ways, the anticipation around the Adidas kits feels like a fresh start for Liverpool, especially after a frustrating loss to Nottingham Forest. Grizz concluded the podcast on a high note: “We deserve stunning kits moving forward, and I think Adidas have delivered.”
While the Forest defeat was difficult for Liverpool fans to digest, the prospect of seeing their team in Adidas kits once again has injected a sense of hope and excitement. As Liverpool aims to rebuild and push for silverware, fans can at least look forward to seeing their team take the pitch in what promises to be one of the most stylish and significant kits in recent memory.
