Revealed: The new official Liverpool FC home kit

May 2nd 2008 04:15

English giants Liverpool has unveiled their all-new home kit for the next two seasons with pre-orders now available through the club's official website.

The official kit appears identical to the leaked images posted here last week with the biggest departure being the collar design that graced the current shirt.

Steven Gerrard and Pepe Reina models the new home kit

Designed and manufactured by sporting giants Adidas, the new kit features a V-neck collar that is outlined in white - the Liverpool crest remains on the players left. The famous three stripes of Adidas is cut off just past the shoulder blades on the short sleeve shirt while the cut off on the long sleeve shirt is down at the bottom of the sleeve and in the form of an arched shape.

While the current kit appears to be more of a modern design, the new home kit is more retro with modern styling cues.

The new goalkeeper shirt worn by Pepe Reina for the next two seasons is entirely black with red stripes along the sleeves - an Adidas trademark - and red dots on the side from the underarm down to the waist area. There are also red inserts on the raised colour.

Has Fergie gone soft?

January 25th 2008 08:35

Tomorrow sees the most romantic game in the FA Cup for many years as Blue South Conference South team Havant and Waterlooville from Hampshire travel to Anfield to take on the mighty Liverpool.

One person you might not expect to get caught up in the romance of it all is Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. Fergie has had a bad press over the years for his dour attitude and his moods and his seeming lack of humour.

It seems that Fergie has arranged for the Havant and Waterlooville squad to train at United's training ground today, and has invited them to be guests of honour at the United game against Tottenham on Sunday.

This is a fine gesture by the great one and shows that he has a heart after all. Doesn't it?

Am I being mischevious to suggest that Fergie is trying all he can to help the minnows cause an upset at his great rivals from Merseyside? Earlier this week he got involved in the troubles at Anfield by putting forward his opinions about the row between the manager and the owners. There is no doubt that Sir Alex is enjoying the goings on at Liverpool, and I think he would probably forsake the title this year if he could help Havant win tomorrow!

Good luck to the part-timers, they'll have a wonderful couple of days, and if they avoid humiliation then they will have great memories for ever. It's what the FA Cup is all about.

Liverpool thrashes Luton in FA Cup 3rd round replay

January 16th 2008 04:15

Liverpool blasted their way through to the 4th round of the FA Cup with a thumping 5-0 win over Luton in their 3rd round replay.

A hat-trick from talismanic captain Steven Gerrard plus other goals from Ryan Babel and Sami Hyypia eased the pressure on under-fire boss Rafa Benitez for the time being after the revelation over the weekend that German great Jurgen Klinsmann had been sounded out about the possibility of becoming the club's next manager by the American owners.

Having been forced into a replay by a League One outfit, Benitez avoided the possibility of a humiliating exit by fielding a full-strength side for the encounter with defensive lynchpin Jamie Carragher named as captain on his 500th appearance for the club.

Benitez was happy with his side's performance and said: "I was not thinking too much about this, I was thinking about the game.

I'm really happy because we won 5-0 and progressed in the competition.

We knew would be difficult to score the first goal but afterwards it would be an open game.

We had a lot of chances and they were really hard with a lot of players behind the ball. We were trying to do our job and they were trying to theirs."

In other third round replays, wins were recorded for Bury, Millwall, West Brom and Tottenham.
