How Does the New Design of the Liverpool Away Kit Look Like?

The design of the new Liverpool away kit for the 2025/2026 season brings an equilibrium between classic and modern. The main colour is white offering a clean and elegant look while the dark green and black add contrast and visual depth. The inspiration is from the 1995/1996 season when the club wore a similar kit and this subtle homage is greatly appreciated by traditionalist supporters. The material used is using advanced technology, it is light and breathable with recycled fibres, part of Nike's commitment to sustainability.

The collar has a polo-type design offering a retro air and the cuffs are decorated with a dark green band which harmoniously complements the colour palette. On the chest is the logo of the club and Nike’s logo as well, these two being made out from a monochrome material to maintain the sober and coherent look. On the back right at the bottom of the collar you can see the motto of the club ‘You’ll never walk alone’ discreet embroidery adding an emotional touch for the supporters. Overall the design is refined and elegant with a modern aesthetic but anchored in the club's identity. It is a kit that manages to tell a visual story in just a few simple lines.

IMDb also mentions ‘Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club in Liverpool, England, which competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. The club has won 5 European Cups, 3 UEFA Cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 18 League titles, 7 FA Cups, 8 League Cups, and 15 FA Community Shields. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played at Anfield since its formation. Liverpool established itself as a major force in English and European football in the 1970s and 1980s when Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley led the club to 11 League titles and seven European trophies.’

The Symbolism and Inspiration of the Liverpool Away Kit

The Liverpool away kit for the season 2025/2026 is deeply anchored in history and the club’s identity. The design is inspired from the 1995/1996 season when Liverpool wore a kit with similar shades and colours, white with dark green at a time when the club was going through a stage of transition and reconstruction. Choosing these colours represents a homage to those days and they want to bring back to life the old aesthetic appreciated by so many supporters over the years, especially because famous players wore it, players like Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman.

Nike declared that they wished for a design that would pay a ‘discrete tribute to the past but with a modern execution.’ The details are subtle such as the polo designed collar and the monochrome logos, all of these offering a vintage note without compromising functionality or the modern style. Besides, the ‘You'll Never Walk Alone’ embroidery on the back emphasizes the team's symbolism and emotional connection with the supporters. This kit is not only a basic piece of clothing or equipment, but it also represents a visual message about continuity, loyalty and tradition. It reflects the way the club’s past can be revalued aesthetically for the new generations of supporters without losing its authenticity. 

On Wikipedia you can read about Robbie’s life since he signed for Liverpool ‘Despite growing up as an Everton fan, Fowler's career began with Liverpool. He signed as a youth team player on leaving school in the summer of 1991, signing professional terms on his 17th birthday, 9 April 1992. Fowler's first involvement with the Liverpool first team came on 13 January 1993, when he was an unused substitute in an FA Cup third round tie against Bolton Wanderers. In the following close season, Fowler helped the England under-18 team win the 1993 European Championship, before making a scoring first-team debut in Liverpool's 3–1 win in a second round League Cup tie at Fulham on 22 September 1993.’

The Reaction of the Supporters and Their Opinions about the New Away Kit

The supporters’ reactions were mainly positive as they seem to be quite enthusiastic for the new kit that brings back memories. On social media platforms such as Twitter, Reddit or Instagram many supporters appreciated the simple and clean design while being impressed about the comeback of the retro style with ‘90 influences. There were comments with ‘finally a kit that looks like Liverpool’ or ‘this is by far the nicest Liverpool away kit’.

Comparing it to other kits from recent seasons the new one appears to go back to the club's traditional values. It is seen by many as a step forward in reconnecting with Liverpool's historic visual identity. The specialists in sportive fashion, even the analysts from The Kitman and Footy Headlines have remarked on the successful equilibrium between functionality and aesthetics.

Conclusion

If the other kits such as the home kit and the third kit maintains the same aesthetic line the season 2025/2026 could mark a remarkable stylistic comeback.
