Liverpool FC’s new away 2021-2022 jersey is inspired by the city’s rich history. It also revives the iconic color scheme of the fan-favorite 1996-97 kit ­– an off-white stone base with teal striping details in the collar and sock.

The “96” emblem on the collar is a reference to the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, which resulted in the death of 96 fans. Due to errors made by the police, exit gate C of the Hillsborough Stadium was opened during a match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, which led to fans flooding the pens causing the deadly crush.

The Liverpool kit from 1996-97 that inspired 2021-22 kit’s design.

The 2021-22 away kit will be offered in two variants. Fans can choose between a replica jersey or the full-fledged away kit that is made with Nike Dri-fit ADV construction.

All kits will be produced using 100 percent recycled polyester fabric made out of plastic bottles as part of Nike’s Move To Zero initiative.

The Liverpool FC 2021-22 away kit is currently available for purchase at Nike.com. Prices start at S$115 for the adult replica shirts.
