“Spectacular” but “getting an England vibe” – Liverpool fans react to new away kit

Liverpool have revealed their new away kit for the 2019/20 season, with supporters giving it positive reviews on the whole.

The strip was officially unveiled on Friday, as fans were shown what the newly crowned European Champions will be wearing on their travels in 2019/20.

It is a predominantly white kit with navy shorts, and manufacturers New Balance claim that it “takes inspiration from iconic street signs around Anfield.”

There is also the signature of legendary Liverpool manager Bob Paisley OBE on the inside of the neck, giving players that little bit of extra motivation when they take to the field.

New kits are a big part of modern football, so it is no surprise to see supporters airing their views on it.

Here’s some of the best of the reactions across social media…

 

Many like the clean look of the new kit…
