Liverpool fans have been left divided over the club’s new home shirt for the 2024/25 season, with some hailing it as ‘class’ while others say it’s ‘one of the worst’. The jersey was released on Thursday (May 16) on the official LFC Store and Nike, where prices start at £80 for the mens and womens and £60 for the youth edition.
It was unveiled earlier this month alongside a promotional campaign featuring Liverpool stars including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil Van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Núñez. The shirt is said to be a ‘modern remix’ of the club’s iconic 1984 shirt, worn during a season that saw them lift the European Cup for the fourth time and become the first English club to win a treble.
The red home shirt features a chrome yellow pattern of the club’s YNWA motto etched into the fabric of the shirt. As per the Liverpool FC site, the shirt also has a unique collar with traditional yellow and red detailing as a nod to the iconic collar worn by the ‘84 team led by Joe Fagan, who lifted the European Cup in Rome that year wearing this original kit – which is available at the LFC Store here.

On the new design, Liverpool captain Van Dijk said: “I’m a big fan of our new kit for next season and love the fact we’re bringing the retro vibe back. We are a club built on history and the 1984 team was one of our most successful ever. I’m sure our fans will appreciate the nod to those club legends.”
