"Hello Nike - it's Liverpool FC here. We'd like a plain red shirt for next season please."
"Certainly - with contrasting peach trim and pink zig-zags too I should imagine!"
"Err, no - just a plain red shirt please."
"No problem - leave it with us!"

3 months later....

"FFS!"

Yeah, they need to work a bit harder in choosing their commercial partners...

"Right John, I'm done with redesigning the Liverpool badge to mark our new commercial partnership."

"Yeah looks good, but I'm not sure about replacing the Hillsborough flames with a cheaply drawn graphic of an iced mocha-choca latte, Dave. Don't you think that might upset the locals a bit?"

"No no, come one now, that was years ago. They're more upset that they cancelled Brookside, these days. I reckon they'll love it..."

Not keen on the panel on the back, but is there a better way to make the number clearer? I doubt it?

Otherwise it looks like two seasons ago to me which is fair enough.

They wont do it but....

Remember the Bukta late 70s kit? The players wore a small white patch with a red number, but if the fans bought the shirt it was just normal stripes top to bottom. I reckon they would do better on sales if they went back to that idea, if you want an 'exact' replica you can buy the shirt with the panel ironed on for an extra £xx. After all, they already do it with names, numbers and sleeve patches.

I see both Brentford and Sunderland manage to have full stripes on the back of their shirts rather than the patchwork look we end up with. Looks so much better.

Actually that is a very good idea. But I would take it slightly further. Release a replica kit for those who want it. In tandem, launch a 'fan kit' with a design that is to some extent independent of the replica kit, but designed with fan wear in mind. The design could still be changed each year to maximise sales. It could be similar to the official replica or completely different depending on the mood. Paul, if you see this and act on it, please cut me in on the profits. I only want a very small percentage.

Adidas make some great kits, Nike are just shit, should have stayed in the US and stuck to track and field

We have made some bizarre choices when it comes to our kit manufacturers over the years, wasn't there even a spell back in the late 80's or early 90's, when we designed and even manufactured, our own?

Spall was NOBO wasn't it? then errea, I'd never heard of either.

Umbro, Bukta, Adidas before.

would be a stylish move to have adidas again.
