CONFIRMED: Liverpool to Wear Nike Kits Next Season
Sep 24, 2019, by Pat
Update: Following last night's report, we can confirm that Liverpool will wear Nike kits next season.
Despite no official confirmation from either party, all three Liverpool 2020-21 kit designs were already finished by Nike and are ready to go into production. We will bring you more details on the Nike Liverpool 20-21 kits shortly.
Liverpool are close to agreeing a deal with Nike ahead of next season, according to the Telegraph's Chris Bascombe.
Talks have been ongoing for a while and it looks like the deal is about to be finalized, easily eclipsing the £45 million a year Liverpool currently earn from New Balance. While no details are given in the article, it's stated that Liverpool's aim was to bring the Nike deal closer to the £75 million a year Adidas pay to Manchester United.
ESPNFC stated back in August that the Liverpool Nike deal would "exceed the value of Manchester United's £750million agreement with Adidas and become the biggest ever struck by a Premier League club."
Adidas x Manchester United deal is only exceeded by Barcelona's Nike (£98m / year) and Real Madrid's Adidas (£107m / year) deals.
The main reasons for Liverpool to part ways with New Balance are distribution and wanting the value of the deal more closely reflect the club's recent on-pitch support.
Should every go as expected, it will be the first time for Liverpool to wear Nike kits. Considering the relatively small lead-up time, it's likely that the Nike Liverpool jerseys will be rather basic, similar to the Chelsea and Tottenham's in 2017-18.
Stay tuned for more details on the Nike Liverpool 2020-21 kits.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted

Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
