Hot on the heels of the release of Liverpool’s new away kit, they have just released their new 3rd kit for the coming 2011/12 season. The former heavyweights of English football had a turbulent 2010/11 campaign. The ousting of Hicks and Gillett from New England Sports Ventures signaled a new beginning for the Reds, who struggled in the first part of last season under the guidance of Roy Hodgson. King Kenny’s arrival in January sparked a mini revival on Merseyside; the controversial sale of Fernando Torres to Chelsea paved the way for the Uruguyan wizard Luiz Suarez and England striker Andy Carroll to join up with the likes of Gerrard, Meireles and Kuyt. A strong second half to the season, wasn’t quite enough for the 5 time European cup winners to qualify for a European spot next season, but Liverpool fans will be encouraged by the form and spirit showed by the squad under club legend Kenny Dalglish. Preparations for the new season are well under way, with the unveiling of 2 new kits; they have also signed the young English midfielder Jordan Henderson from Sunderland for around 16million and look set to be building what could be a squad to mount a serious title challenge.
Liverpool launched the Liverpool 2011-12 3rd jersey for the upcoming 2011/12 season and now it is available for sale. The kit will be manufactured by Adidas and Standard Chartered will remain the shirt sponsors. This is the last season of Adidas as The Red’s shirt manufacturers. From 2012/13, Liverpool football kits will be manufactured by Warrior Sports with whom they have signed a contract worth £25 million per season, a record deal.
Their new 3rd kit is white just like the one they wore last season. However, the designing is much different. The red is replaced by cyan, which makes up the Adidas stripes on the shoulders and the cuffs of the sleeves. Unlike the new away kit, the collar is rounded but still black. It features a black stripe running alongside a cyan stripe from the collar down to the right armpit. The Liverpool crest Adidas and Standard Chartered logos are also in blue. The shirt is manufactured using Adidas’ special sweat absorbing technology ClimaCool™ that helps the player remain dry. The shirt also remains lightweight even after absorbing sweat this it is comfortable for the player.
