Liverpool

Liverpool’s second set of adidas Equipment provided an evolution from their predecessors – and things could have been even brasher if the manufacturers had had their way. In addition to the unusual placement of the stripes, green trim was added to the home kit and, while the away featured a return to the traditional white and black, green remained prominent.

A third kit had not been needed during the previous two seasons but the game at Sheffield United on Boxing Day necessitated another option. The gold and black strip provided was said by the club to be just a stop-gap that would not be retailed but it eventually was and proved to be popular.

With match officials in the Premier League wearing green, black was now available for teams to use and the new goalkeeper kit was in that colour, following the design of the outfield outfits – indeed, the away shorts were used, despite the mismatch in crest colouring and adidas logos. For the game at Arsenal in April, the third shorts and socks were used.

Early in the season, the 1992-93 yellow shirt was used when a clash with the black arose before an alternative version of the new jersey appeared – though this yellow top had the three-stripe motif in the fabric rather than the adidas ‘Tango’ pattern on the black shirt.
