Their remarkable season may not be over yet, but Liverpool have released their home kit for the 2023/23 campaign.
Nike's latest effort is a classic crimson red which the likes of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold will don during the upcoming term. The new jersey marks Liverpool's third year with their kit manufacturers and their multi-year deal is worth a reported £70million per season.
A flashy video was released to mark the unveiling, with a fresh style of name and number on the back. On the front, Main shirt sponsor and British bank Standard Chartered boast a place, while sleeve sponsor Expedia find room. This will, however, be the club's final year with Standard Chartered, as it has been claimed that Liverpool are in talks for a record-breaking new sponsor.
The Reds will certainly be hoping to add gold Premier League winners' badges to the shirt after already bagging the League Cup this year and reaching the FA Cup final against Chelsea. A FIFA Club World Cup emblem could also come if Jurgen Klopp's side are victorious in their Champions League final clash with Real Madrid on Saturday, May 28 at the Stade de France in Paris.
Klopp and co learned their opponents on Wednesday night, with Real dramatically beating Manchester City 6-5 on aggregate. 24 hours earlier, Liverpool survived a scare at the hands of their opponents, Villarreal, and now confidence is sky high in the Reds camp. "It is, for me, the best club competition in the world. I love it, love the sound, everything, love the nights," Klopp declared.
"Respect to Villarreal, this really wonderful stadium, what the people are doing here is incredible, what Unai [Emery] is doing is incredible, how the players put us under pressure, everything is great. So it feels so special because it was so difficult for us, but in the end we deserved it as well and that's really cool.

"It was massive, massive from the boys. Before the game I told the boys that I would like to read the headlines that 'The mentality monsters were in town' just because I wanted us from the first moment not like somebody that defends the result but goes for the three points or for the win. I couldn't see that but the second half was like this.
"بالنسبة لي كان الأمر هكذا لأنك يمكن أن ترى مدى إعجابنا في الشوط الأول ثم العودة كما عدنا في الشوط الثاني كان مميزا حقا. مع 500 مباراة ، كما يبدو ، أن الأولاد لعبوا ، من الطبيعي تماما أن يحدث الشوط الأول ولكن رد فعلنا كما فعلنا جعله مميزا حقا مرة أخرى وهذا هو أننا
سعيد حقا بذلك".
