Liverpool and Roma showed off their new 2016-17 away jerseys as both teams met at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Monday evening.
Liverpool and Roma Wear New 2016-17 Away Shirts
It was very easy to distinguish both teams.
Liverpool's 2016-17 away kit looked as classy as expected. Combining the main color black with white and red applications, Liverpool's 2016-17 away kit was the perfect counterpart to the only kit that celebrated its debut yesterday. The new Roma 16-17 away uniform was just revealed a few days ahead of the friendly. Boasting a classic logo, Roma's Nike kit was an instant hit on social media.
Which kit do you prefer? Do you also think that either Liverpool or Roma should have opted for the home shirt? Let us know in the comments below.
First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
