Nike Plans Leak For Liverpool 2021-22 Away Kit

Images suggest Nike is planning a throwback to the classic
1996-97 “ecru” kit

It has been solid start to the multi-year kit deal between Nike
and Liverpool. After developing a comfortable relationship
with earnestly original New Balance, many Reds supporters had
worried that committing to the world’s largest sports apparel
conglomerate would condemn fans to identikit products for years to
come.

However, despite some initial gripes about passing similarities
between some of Nike’s first Liverpool collection and kits from
other clubs, the pessimism has largely been proven to be unfounded.
A commitment to the color teal—sorry ‘Hyper Turquoise®—across the home and away
designs has been well received after an initial period of
trepidation from the traditionalists, leading to a boom in kit sales for the defending Premier
League champions.

Leaks have revealed that Nike is already working on next
season’s kits, with the provisional designs marking a throwback to
Liverpool “ecru” kits from the 1996-97 season. Two reliable kit
design sources, Footy Headlines and the Twitter handle @fumlerRawk

It is understood that the 2021-22 collection will include black
shorts, while the shirts will be a light beige, fossil/ecru-like
color combined with a “dark atomic teal”. The leak also provided
rumors of a third kit composed of yellow and red as a potential
throwback to the Reebok 1997-98 away shirt.

Next season is a long way away and Nike could certainly alter
their plans in light of the leak. However, Liverpool supporters
will be pleased to know that the Nike-Liverpool partnership is well
on its way to making its mark.
