The best Liverpool x Adidas kits as partnership returns | OneFootball

Liverpool have announced a new multi-year kit deal with Adidas that will begin from the 2025/26 campaign.

The Reds have ended their five-year partnership with Nike to rejoin forces with Adidas for the third time. The German sports manufacturing giant previously created Liverpool’s kits from 1985 to 1996 and again from 2006 to 2012.

During that time, Adidas produced some unforgettable shirts for the Merseysiders and we’ve decided to remember five of the very best.

The best Liverpool x Adidas kits as partnership returns

Liverpool home (1987/88)

This home shirt perhaps gets overshadowed in the archives by the next number on this list, but it’s an iconic edition.

Liverpool were crowned champions wearing this shirt in 1987/88, starting the season with a then-record 29-match unbeaten run as John Aldridge, Peter Beardsley and John Barnes ran riot in red.

Liverpool home (1989-1991)

Take a quick search for retro Liverpool shirts and this beauty will usually come up near the top of the list.

The geometric design is legendary, coupled with the Adidas originals branding and Candy sponsor. An absolute classic.

Liverpool away (1995/96)

An unforgettable green and white mash-up from the mid-nineties features next.

Liverpool fell just short in the Premier League and FA Cup during the 1995/96 season, but this shirt provided some memorable moments. Robbie Fowler’s bulldozing of Gary Neville and chip over Peter Schmeichel at Manchester United was one such moment, though the Red Devils got their payback in that season’s FA Cup final.

Liverpool looked a lot better in this than they did in those infamous white suits…

Liverpool home (2006-2008)

That Liverpool failed to win silverware in this shirt is a crying shame.

Still, it gave us some memorable moments. This was the first home shirt Fernando Torres wore, during a scintillating start for the Spaniard on Merseyside.

Liverpool reached a Champions League final in this strip in 2007, but lost to AC Milan as the Italians exacted revenge for their implosion in Istanbul two years earlier.

Liverpool away (2009/10)

This might just be our favourite.

Sure, it’s not the famous red colours but there’s a certain regal feel to black and gold. It wasn’t a particularly memorable season for Liverpool, who slumped to seventh after a runners-up finish the previous campaign, but this shirt was the silver lining.
