Liverpool have unveiled an away kit full of nostalgia for the 2016/17 season.
The kit is designed in black, red and silver, with the colours reminiscent of the matchday programme from the 1977 European Cup final in Rome - the first of Liverpool's five victories in European football's premier cup competition.
The New Balance (NB) strip, which uses a moisture-wicking fabric and the latest heat bonding technology, pays tribute to the victims of the Hillsborough tragedy with a 96 emblem encased by the eternal flames sitting at the nape of the neck.
Bill Shankly, one of Liverpool's greatest ever managers, who guided the Reds to three First Division titles, two FA Cups, four Charity Shields and one UEFA Cup, has his famous quote 'Liverpool was made for me and I was made for Liverpool' referenced on the internal hem of the shirt.
Reds captain Jordan Henderson said: "Everyone is aware of the history of this great club, both domestically and abroad. This latest away kit looks great and having the words of Bill Shankly on the kit reminds us of what Liverpool FC means, inspiring us every time we play away from Anfield."
Commenting on the kit, general manager of New Balance Football Richard Wright said: "Liverpool FC is historically England's most successful team in Europe and this kit is a fitting tribute to that remarkable achievement.
"With the seam-free body mapping technology and NB Dry Technology each player will be competing in a truly advanced and stylish kit."
