90's Liverpool home shirts

The first home shirt that Liverpool wore in the 1990’s was designed by Adidas and sponsored by Candy. This was the last Liverpool home kit worn before the start of the Premier League and was also the last kit sponsored by Candy before Carlsberg began sponsoring Liverpool (which is still going now). The kit is designed through the Adidas Equipment Series template combing three white stripes at the top left of the shirt. The shirt sees Liverpool in their traditional red and with a white typeface making this a fairly ordinary Liverpool kit. Liverpool only wore the shirt for a year before it was slightly redesigned for the new Carlsberg sponsor.

During their first Premier League season, Liverpool wore a new home shirt which was very similar in design to the previous one. The Adidas template in the top left of the shirt still remained as did the red background. However, the club badge had been updated to look more modern whilst the Adidas logo was moved to the top centre of the shirt. All in all, the shirt adopted a more modern approach back in the early 90’s. The club wore the shirt for just year as once again it went for a redesign.

Going into the 1993 season, Liverpool emerged with another redesigned home shirt. Once again, there wasn’t too much of a change to what had already been seen in the years before. The main difference was that the Adidas template had been moved to the bottom left and right of the shirt and the collar was now coloured white. However, the sponsor, badge and logo stayed the same as did the traditional predominately red colour. Nevertheless, Liverpool kept the shirt for two seasons.

Going into the 1995 season, Liverpool donned what would be the final strip made for them in the 90’s by Adidas. The shirt kept the traditional red background but ditched the Adidas template series. Instead, it decided to go towards the more modern design involving the three stripes running continuously down the arm. The Adidas logo also changed on this kit losing the three stripes above the word “Adidas”. However, this shirt only lasted the one season before Liverpool made a deal with Reebok who would end up providing their kits for the next ten years.

1996 saw Liverpool’s first ever strip designed by Reebok. Nevertheless, the shirt didn’t undergo many design changes. The logo change is barely noticeable whilst the sponsor and colours stay the same as always. The main changes from the previous shirt include a new white polo neck collar whilst the Adidas stripes running down the arms have gone. This kit was definitely one of the nicer Liverpool ones of the 90’s and was worn for the full two seasons.

The final Liverpool kit to grace the 1990’s had many similarities to that of the previous shirt. The traditional red and sponsor stayed the same as usual although the logo changed to the Reebok sign rather than having “Reebok” written on the shirt. The only other real change was that the colour has changed back to a white round neck rather than keeping the polo collar. Considering this was the last kit of the 1990’s, it’s a very plain effort from Reebok. Even so, the kit was worn from 1998-2000.
