The shirt that followed, lasting just one season, was also using a similar design. Although, the pin stripes were dark yellow and a lot closer together. The red collar featured two thin orange strips, and the same two stripes appeared on both red patches on the sleeves.
The shirt, along with the yellow, was replaced in 1985, with Adidas taking the reins as manufacturers of the Liverpool shirts. The new away shirt was white. Crown Paints’ logo returned to the shirt and featured in red. Also in red were the collar and the bottom of the sleeves, both with a thin orange stripe running through the centre; in addition to the three red Adidas strips running from the collar to each shoulder. The shirt was deemed a successful first attempt by Adids, and lasted two seasons.
The next away shirt Adidas produced was grey, with thick and thin, dark and light grey stripes running down the shirt, with numerous Adidas logos inside the stripes. The badge and Adidas logo were in red, as were the stripes running right the way down each sleeve. The Crown Paints sponsor hardly stands out, as it is in white with a red outline, and the collar is adding to the red theme, with a grey trim. The shirt was slightly altered after one season, as Candy began sponsoring the club.
The away shirt Liverpool wore from 1989-1991 was also grey. The collar is still red with grey trim, although takes a more stylish look, and the Adidas stripes are in red again. The shirt overall is shiny, but the red sponsor is in felt. Shiny grey triangles fill the shirt all over, making it another crowded shirt.
