Liverpool's First Home Kit Under Nike Leaked Online

Liverpool's first home kit under Nike has been leaked online.

The Reds' deal with New Balance ends in May and the club have already secured a lucrative £80 million-a-year deal with the American sportswear giant for them to become their kit manufacturers for the 2020-21 campaign.

With it being the largest kit in English football, there's huge expectation on what the first design will be and now courtesy of Footy Headlines, the leaks have been doing the rounds.

The biggest talking point is of course the teal green and white trimming on the sleeves and collar of the red shirt, which Reds' fans are hoping will have Gold Premier League badges along with the Club World Cup crest to mark their December triumph.

Standard Chartered will remain the primary sponsor once again, with Western Union getting some nice advertising on the sleeve.

On the back of the shirt is a '96' graphic - a tribute all those who lost their loves in the Hillsborough stadium disaster in 1989.

The template used will also be deployed for a number of international kits, including the Norway national team's spicy away strip that Erling Haaland will be wearing.

Liverpool have had their kits made by New Balance since 2015 now and will become the fourth Premier League side to have their strips created by Nike after Brighton, Chelsea and Tottenham.

Announcing the exciting partnership, Billy Hogan, LFC's managing director and chief commercial officer, told Liverpool's official website: "Our iconic kit is a key part of our history and identity. We welcome Nike into the LFC family as our new official kit supplier and expect them to be an incredible partner for the club, both at home and globally as we continue to expand our fanbase.

"As a brand, Nike reflects our ambitions for growth, and we look forward to working with them to bring fans new and exciting products."

"We'd like to thank New Balance for their support over the last few years and wish them well for the future."
