New Balance released special edition Liverpool FC 2017/18 away Shirt
New Balance has officially revealed a special edition of the Liverpool FC 2017/18 away jersey. The shirt has been launched as part of the ‘Pure Liverpool FC’ campaign for the 2017/18 season celebrating the Club’s 125th anniversary.
Only 1892 pieces produced, and only 600 boxed versions available Worldwide
Inspired by Liverpool FC’s first ever strip worn 125 years ago in 1892, this special edition away kit incorporates the original light blue and white from the Club’s earliest shirt, updated with a quartered pin stripe repeat. The special edition jersey is in line with the design theme for LFC’s 2017/18 home and away shirts with the use of key iconic kit details from LFC’s rich history. In recognition of this date a limited run of only 1892 shirts will be made available worldwide, each embossed with the special 125th anniversary crest, a feature on all kits in the 2017/18 @nbfootball @liverpoolfc kit collection.
The jersey features thermo regulatory properties, activated by bonded vents in the material. When the player is hot and perspiring, the laser cut vents open to increasing airflow to the body, providing a cooling effect. At lower temperatures the vents close to help restore the body’s heat.
To commemorate the tragic events of Hillsborough, the 96 emblem, encased by the eternal flames, sits at the nape of the neck.
Liverpool FC captain Jordan Henderson said: “It is an honour to be captain of Liverpool FC as it celebrates its 125th anniversary. When you play at Anfield, you are aware of the history that surrounds the Club and what it means to the fans both in Liverpool and around the world. This special edition kit is a fitting tribute to celebrate the clubs 125th anniversary and one that I am sure it will be really popular with the fans.”
