Liverpool's 26/27 Home Jersey Pays Homage to 1989-91 Candy Kits

Arne Slot's Liverpool F.C. struggled throughout the 2025-26 Premier League season, but that isn't stopping the squad to celebrate its decorated past. adidas has unveiled the club's 26/27 Home kit ahead of Matchday 38 of the 25/26 Premier League season, remembering the red side's 1989-91 stretch.

Presented via a "GREATNESS IS TIMELESS" campaign, Liverpool's 26/27 Home jersey pays homage to one of the club's most-iconic eras, reinterpreting heritage for the modern game. Diehard fans of the Merseyside-based institution will instantly recognize the geometric patterns found on the new Home shirt, though a Standard Chartered sponsorship replaces the legendary Candy one from over 35 years ago.

The 26/27 Home design builds on the nostalgia-driven kit produced by the Three Stripes for the 25/26 campaign, celebrating a rich history between kit manufacturer and football club. Next season's proposal further showcases how present adidas has been during some of Liverpool's most-defining periods, specifically remembering when Kenny Dalglish’s side secured the 89/90 league title.

The jersey bridges past and present, fusing memorable club DNA with modern performance innovation. CLIMACOOL+ technology ensures players like Florian Wirtz, Virgil van Dijk, Denise O'Sullivan, and Hugo Ekitike stay dry across all stages of the game.

One detail that might be overlooked by the retro-inspired graphics throughout the shirt is the number 97 on the back collar. The number is placed in-between two "Eternal Flames" that together commemorate the 97 victims of the Hillsborough disaster that occurred in '89 during the FA Cup Semi-Final match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England.

Have a closer look at Liverpool's new Home jersey ahead. Gear is now available via adidas.com and will surely debut on-pitch to close out the 25/26 Premier League campaign.
