Liverpool have now officially launched their new away kit for the 2026/27 season, and Reds supporters will not have to wait too long to see it in action on matchday.

The Reds brought out their 2026/27 home shirt just before the previous campaign ended, and it was worn in the final-day 1-1 draw with Brentford at Anfield, a result that sealed Champions League qualification.

There had been plenty of online leaks of the claimed away kit over the last few months, and those early previews have proved to be very accurate.

Liverpool’s new away shirt was confirmed in the early hours of Wednesday morning, with the design revealed on the club’s official website and social media channels. The jersey is mainly white with red and grey detailing, carries the traditional Adidas trefoil logo, and will be paired with red shorts and white socks.

As per liverpoolfc.com, it takes inspiration from the Reds’ away kits of the mid-1980s and includes the heritage Liver bird crest, with the design ‘subtly incorporating archival graphic elements that pay tribute to generations of supporters who have passed through the turnstiles of Anfield’.

LFC-supporting DJ Calvin Harris offered fans an early look at the new kit during his set at Ushuaia Ibiza, and Andoni Iraola’s players will wear it for the first time in their friendly against Wrexham in New York in the early hours of Thursday morning (BST).

Early reaction online to the new kit has been mostly positive, though some supporters have criticised the use of red shorts, a colour the club has very rarely combined with a white change shirt.

For the second season running, Adidas have gone with the trefoil logo and heritage crest for Liverpool, having also done so with the sea green third kit in 2025/26, continuing the German manufacturer’s habit of bringing throwback elements into its clients’ apparel.

Reds fans will be hoping that this new shirt brings better fortune than the off-white change shirt from last season, a bold design that unfortunately became linked with several painful defeats in a poor campaign.

We also wait to see whether there will be any more signings arriving to wear the newly released away kit across the coming campaign, with Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet still the only new arrivals since the end of last season.

Let us hope that it ends up being linked with plenty of memorable away days for Liverpool and is remembered fondly in years to come!
