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.
Take a second look; No its not the Newcastle United shirt, It’s West Brom’s.
The new home shirt is so similar to last season’s Newcastle strip that even though you read here that it’s this years West Brom shirt, you still have to double check just in case it’s wrong.
Replace the club badge, the manufacturer and sponsor and hey presto, the Magpies shirt morphs into a West Brom shirt.
The use of colours in both the 2nd and 3rd Premiership football strips have been used well with both strips looking smart and supporter friendly which will be useful in the upcoming season in the English Premier League and carries on the current trend with clubs to have three shirts for sale in any current season.
Last Season saw West Brom finish in 11th spot in the Barclays Premiership which saw Roy Hodgson return to management after his ill fated Liverpool reign, replacing Roberto de Matteo in February 2011.
West Brom’s full club name is West Bromich Albion with a nickname of the Baggies and currently play at the Hawthorns.
English Premier League Club Liverpool FC have signed a mega new kit deal with Boston based company Warrior Sports who are a subsidiary of New Balance . The new deal is worth a staggering £25million a year which doubles their current deal with manufacturers Adidas. Liverpool's new kit deal also puts one over EPL rival's Manchester United who's current deal with Nike is worth £23.5million a year.
It will come as a big blow to Adidas as Liverpool replica shirts are the fourth best selling football jerseys in the World, coming only behind Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, whilst Manchester United are also just above the Scousers in the best selling shirts table. Warrior will take over from Adidas as Liverpool's Kit manufacturers ahead of the 2012/13 Premier League Season. What do you think about this deal Liverpool fans? Could this put The Reds back up with the big boys?
Middlesbrough are an English Championship side who play their home matches at the Riverside Stadium. They are managed by Tony Mowbray and they have unveiled one of their new replica football shirts, which is the new Middlesbrough 2011-12 home jersey.
The 2011-12 Middlesbrough home football shirt is quite different than previous seasons. The base colour is red, with the sleeves, shoulders and upper chest are white. It has a round red collar and red Adidas stripes down both sleeves. The Adidas logo is on the right chest and the Middlesbrough club badge sits on the left chest. The Ramsdens sponsor sits on the middle of the shirt in white text with a green background.

This is the new Chelsea home strip 11/12 that Adidas and the club officially unveiled on April 12, 2011. The new Chelsea strip is a throwback to the club’s kits from the 1980′s and features the iconic Adidas stripes in blue for the first time.
The strip consists of predominantly blue shirts and shorts. Samsung continue to be the sponsors of the Chelsea home strip, which will be worn by the Blues in their last home game of the 11/12 season against Newcastle.
