Reebok and Liverpool

[Twenty26Six]

I can't remember how long we signed with Reebok for last [til '08?]. I'm not the biggest fan of the last few kits we have seen, they've been kind of bland. However the new road ones aren't bad. We are due for new home strips next year right? Any ideas on what you guys may want to see? I'd like to see one that would force me to shell out the $.

Also, any personal favorites of kits gone by? I'm a big fan of the much older ones. Straight red, white liverbird, good stuff.

I really like the current home kit. I think it's the best Reebok has done since outfitting the Reds. And it harks back to the 1960's and 1970's, except for the sponsorship logo (Carlsberg).

Although I would agree that I like the simple white liverbird over the current crest.

As long as they don't go back to really bright yellow, or mustard yellow I'll be content. my wife bought me the 97-98 away kit while we were living over there, and she hates it when I wear it. She thought I'd just "have" it...I have one for everyday of the week though-so I'm always ready:D

I like the simple basic red kit without the collar as well.

I never said I liked the old ones because they were simple. I just like them. I'm particularly fond of the ones with just the white liverbird over the heart. Two things I don't like about the current ones are... the centered crest, and the 'dark red piping' around the neck and shoulders.

My absolute most hated were either the black roads from two year ago, or the ['96? Coca-Cola Cup?] ones circa Spice Boys/Roy Evans.

Some classic LFC retro shirts at www.toffs.com as well as some decent stuff from the club shop - http://store.liverpoolfc.tv/ynwa/CategoryProductsAction.run (my fave is the 84 Rome replica top).

Ebay.co.uk is always a good bet for rare and 'tester' shirts - Reebok knock up a whole batch of designs and styles to show the club - some end up on ebay... somehow.

Oh dear ... you're not going to like the 2004/05 away shirt then.

I haven't been too thrilled with Reebok's output, though I did like the bright yellow and the white with red stripes from the late 90s.

My favorites have to be the Umbro shirts with yellow pinstripes from the early 80s and the last adidas shirt from circa 1996.

It's time for the new home jerseys to have the crest on the left, rather than the center. It's just not correct.

[skipshady]

These are pretty, methinks:

Aah! there we go!

Making the size of the badge a LOT bigger would be a welcome move - on most of the modern kits it's almost impossible to see the club crest - let alone the Liverbird.

[youllneverwalkalone]

yea i definitley like the old classic jerseys with the big liverbird on the chest, but i also like the new home kit, i especially like the white away kit this year, probably my favorite in awhile

BLUE?

The design and the color of gold I can somewhat live with. But BLUE? Ugh.

I can't find the pic of the new away kit on onion bag. Anyone have a link, or better yet, a pic?

A sneak peak (like 1/9th of it) was shown in their message boards at Soccer Boards -> Europe -> England and under Important Topics at the top of the list (like a BigSoccer "Sticky") there is the thread "READ THIS, BOSS: EXCLUSIVE - Liverpool Away 04/05 (Pic)"

BUT . . . the picture has since been removed. Maybe Reebok didn't like that there shirt was being revealed ahead of schedule.
