adminLIVERPOOL have revealed their new home kit for the 2015-16 season. Simon Mignolet, Martin Skrtel, Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge unveiled the redesigned strip at Anfield yesterday.
More than 1,000 fans gathered at the stadium to catch the first glimpse of the kit, the first to be designed by New Balance. The chequerboard pattern is inspired by the red and white mosaic formed when supporters on the Kop hoist aloft their Liverpool flags and scarves on a matchday.
Jordan Henderson, Liverpool’s vice-captain, said: “Our fans create a great atmosphere at Anfield, and it is great to have a kit that reflects the red and white mosaic made when the fans on the Kop hold their flags and scarves aloft.
“The kit feels great and I’m pleased the New Balance team considered what the players need from a kit when it was designed. The material is very comfortable and the players are delighted with the result.”
Billy Hogan, Liverpool’s chief commercial officer, said: “We are very excited to be launching our first kit in partnership with New Balance, which is one of the world’s leading sportswear brands.
“Like LFC, New Balance has over 100 years of heritage and it’s fitting that the first kit launched as part of this record-breaking partnership celebrates the club’s illustrious history and worldwide fanbase.” — The Guardian
