Liverpool home shirt for 2026/27 season leaked with same complaint from fans

Liverpool's kit for the 2026/27 season has been leaked online, with fans already extremely vocal about one feature.

The Reds are preparing to head into the second season of a 10-year dal with Adidas after ending their partnership with Nike.

The deal is said to be worth a whopping £60 million per year and has brought back serious nostalgia for Liverpool supporters, who still remember the iconic designs Adidas conjured up in the 1980s and 1990s.

For next season, it appears as though a classic strip has been reimagined by the three-striped brand - with the 2026/27 home strip inspired by the 1989/91 shirt which had Candy as the main sponsor for a four-year period.

The design includes a triangular-like pattern all over the shirt to give that retro feel. The shirt's colour is a much darker red than what Liverpool fans are used to, with a white trim on the stripes and logos.

However, in reacting to the leak from Footy Headlines, plenty of fans took issue with the shirt's collar - which looked a little out of place.

One user on X said: "What’s that collar all about? @adidasfootball @adidasUK have got it totally wrong again. White collar & cuffs with a gold Liverbird & manufacturers badge is the @LFC winning combo."

A second commented: "Love the original. Love love love. Glad they've remade it but really hate the collar and cuffs and all those lines on the pattern. 7/10."

A third added: "Like it, don’t love it. Would’ve preferred the collar and cuffs to be block white rather than the thin lines."

A fourth fumed: "The collar is killing me man, just needed a ring collar and we were set. Wtf is this."

A fifth didn't hold back, writing: "This would be awful even if it was a pre-match or training shirt. Extremely rare Adidas L."

The shirt is expected to be released in May or June before being debuted in Liverpool's pre-season fixtures.

Liverpool have had three different spells partnered with Adidas and the latest link-up has enabled them to re-release old retro designs and merchandise in a move which has proved to be incredibly successful.

The Reds return to action on Sunday, travelling to play Manchester United at Old Trafford in a big clash in the race for Champions League football next season.
