redesigned crest to mark the club's 125th
anniversary.
The strip is a darker red as an ode to the famous
sides of the 1980s, during which time Liverpool
won six domestic league titles, two FA Cups and
two European Cups.
There is also a commemorative '96' close to the
collar, in recognition of the 96 fans who were killed
in the Hillsborough disaster of 1989.
The kit will be used in the 2017-18 season.
General Manager of New Balance Football, Richard
Wright, said: "This kit is a testament to the periods
and events that have made Liverpool FC the club it
is today. This year's home kit is the perfect blend
of heritage and modern technology, creating a look
that is visually stunning and performs at the
highest level."
The badge contains the dates 1892 and 2017 either
side of the distinctive Liver Bird emblem, with '125
years' written beneath.
"A pure, uncluttered approach was taken, applying
the dates of the anniversary and '125 Years' to the
existing crest in a simple format, highlighting the
historic milestone for the club," Liverpool said in a
statement.
