Some ‘real’ images of Liverpool’s new Adidas home kit have been revealed, with the Reds set to turn the clock back to 1989.Supporters were delighted to see Liverpool make a return to Adidas last year, and the German sportswear brand has so far delivered some excellent strips.Though this season’s offerings will likely be tarnished by a poor season, things are already looking bright ahead of next year, as Footy Headlines deliver what looks like a finished product, with the iconic splattered pattern from the 1989-1991 shirt making a comeback.
