Leaked New Balance Liverpool 20-21 Home, Away & Third Kits - To be Never Released Due to Nike Deal
Nov 13, 2020, by Pat
Update: Football short collector @KitHunters got his hands on two New Balance Liverpool prototype kits - one shows a prototype of the LFC 2018-19 home kit (comes with reverse of colors on the collar), while the yellow shirt is a prototype of the never-released Liverpool New Balance 20-21 away kit.

Porto 20-21 Home Kit Features Same Collar As Liverpool 20-21 Prototype New Balance Kit
Update: Adding much credibility to the leaked pictures of the LFC 20-21 New Balance kits, the new Porto 20-21 NB home kit as well as the away and third kits feature same collar as the leaked Liverpool 20-21 home kit. Thanks to @WhenImElmo2 for the heads-up.
New Balance Liverpool 2020-2021 Home Shirt vs Porto 20-21 Kits
Update: Kyle has shared more pictures of the rare NB Liverpool 20-21 shirts.
All three feature unique messages on the insides behind the crests. The message of the third, which would have been primarily used internationally, reads "Allez allez allez - We've conquered all of Europe, we're never gonna stop."
Update: We've linked up with the original source for the unreleased New Balance Liverpool 20-21 kits. Check out even more pictures of the three shirts, as well as previously unseen training and collection items below. Seeing this large number of items also eradicated any doubts about the authenticity of this leak from our side. Big thanks to @KB2X.
Although there isn't an official announcement (yet), it's well-known that Liverpool will get kitted out by Nike next season.
Due to the nature and late confirmation of this supplier switch, it wouldn't surprise any insider if New Balance had already completed the process of designing their version of the 2020-21 jerseys. After all, Nike claimed that their 20-21 designs were already finished during the trial at court.
Pictures have surfaced showing what is claimed are the prototype New Balance Liverpool 20-21 home, away and third shirts.
New Balance Liverpool 2020-2021 Home Shirt
This is the Liverpool FC 2020-21 home jersey, made by New Balance.
Liverpool FC's new 2020-2021 home shirt has a dark red melange material and combines it with white for all logos.
It's a very clean design without any fancy graphics and fits right in with the other NB Liverpool home shirts.
Liverpool New Balance 2020-2021 Away Kit
This is the Liverpool FC 20-21 away jersey.
Liverpool's new 2020-2021 away shirt is red with the logos appearing in the dark red of the home.
Almost as clean as the home, Liverpool's new 2020-2021 away football shirt features a subtle gradient towards the bottom.
Liverpool FC 20-21 Third Kit
This is the Liverpool 2020-2021 third shirt.
Out of the three, the new Liverpool 20-21 third shirt is by far the most eye-catching. It's black with lime green logos and a grey and lime green stripe graphic on the left side of the shirt.
Liverpool 20-21 Goalkeeper Kit
The GK shirt would have been black and red.
The pictures of all three shirts were published by @KB2X and, while we haven't been able to prove their authenticity we are also unable to point out any obvious flaws or find a concept creation they might be based on. We've addressed some points below.
The shirts are long-sleeve: although all three shirts (we can say for sure for the home) have long sleeves this does not rule out their authenticity; unlike other brands NB do sell this version of their shirts.
The Paisley signature is missing: Bob Paisley's signature, which is present on the inner neck of this season's jerseys, is missing from the ones pictured. However, this detail was a one-off move to celebrate 100 years since the legendary manager's birth and was therefore never expected to feature again the following campaign.
It's a new template: NB usually creates a new template every year and uses it across all teams. We haven't seen this one before which further adds credibility to this being the actual 20-21 designed shirts.
Do you like the look of these NB Liverpool 2020-2021 kits? Or are you happy to see the club switch to Nike? Let us know in the comments below.
Cobh Ramblers 2026 Third Kit Released
Cobh Ramblers have officially released their new third kit for the 2026 League of Ireland First Division campaign. Produced by German brand uhlsport, the strip introduces a classy black and gold color scheme while sharing the bespoke local design language featured across the club's 2026 kit collection.
The uhlsport Cobh Ramblers 2026 third shirt combines a black base with subtle tonal vertical striping. Flowing down the left side beneath the monochrome gold club crest are two striking gold vertical stripes shaped like lancet arches, inspired by the architecture and stained glass windows of St Colman's Cathedral in Cobh. Celtic knotwork adorns the v-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, while the uhlsport lettering and front-of-shirt sponsor Caltech Electrical Supplies are also finished in gold.
The new Cobh Ramblers 2026 third kit is now available through the club's official online store and physical club shop, retailing at €70 for adult sizes and €50 for kids.
Salisbury FC 26-27 Third Kit Revealed
English non-league side Salisbury FC have officially unveiled their new 26-27 third kit, brought back following the squad's recent tour of Kuwait. The release complements the club's home and away strips that were launched earlier in the summer.
The Salisbury FC 26-27 third shirt features a vibrant yellow base contrasted with royal blue accents. A retro-inspired blue collar with a v-neck insert frames the neckline, while dynamic blue striped graphics run down the sleeves and lower flanks. Continuing the club's deep ties to Kuwait under owner Ali Alhamad, the chest prominently displays the Arabic script logo of a Kuwaiti digital bank alongside the club crest.
The strip is completed with matching yellow shorts featuring blue side panels. The Salisbury 26-27 third shirt was made available exclusively to match-going fans at the club shop ahead of their FA Cup qualifying clash against Dulwich Hamlet.
Independiente del Valle 2026 Commemorative Kit Released
Ecuadorian powerhouse Independiente del Valle has teamed up with Marathon Sports to launch a special commemorative kit for the final stretch of the 2026 campaign. Designed as an end-of-the-year release, the new shirt will be worn by Los Rayados in their remaining LigaPro and Copa Ecuador fixtures as they push for silverware.
The Marathon Independiente del Valle 2026 commemorative jersey introduces a fresh color twist on the club's signature look. Dominated by a sleek black base, the shirt is highlighted by a wide vertical pink stripe running down the center of the chest with a subtle brushstroke texture. The IDV crest takes center stage directly inside the stripe beneath the Marathon logo, accompanied by matching pink trim on the collar and sleeve cuffs alongside crisp white sponsor graphics.
This special release stands apart from IDV's regular 2026 home shirt, which used blue detailing rather than the bold pink seen here. The jersey was unveiled following an exclusive blindfolded preview event for club members and is now available through official Marathon Sports stores and online retailers.
Marathon Universitario 2026 Señor de los Milagros Kit Released
Peruvian champions Universitario de Deportes and Marathon Sports have officially unveiled a special-edition kit honoring the Señor de los Milagros (Lord of Miracles) for the second consecutive year. The commemorative release arrives just in time for October, the month traditionally associated with the religious devotion across Peru.
The Universitario 2026 Señor de los Milagros shirt retains the club's iconic cream base color, pairing it with deep purple and radiant gold detailing. An intricate, tone-on-tone graphic pattern covers the front and sleeves, inspired by religious stained glass windows and the embroidery found on traditional garments. The club crest has been given an ornate overhaul, outlined in purple with an elaborate golden sunburst surrounding it, while a dedicated Lord of Miracles patch adorns the upper back.
One of the most notable design features is on the sleeve cuffs, where purple bands display the logos and numbers of all the cuadrillas, the brotherhood groups responsible for carrying the procession litter during celebrations. The collection includes short-sleeve, long-sleeve, and purple goalkeeper editions alongside matching pre-match apparel.
Racing Santander 26-27 Third Kit Released
Spanish club Real Racing Club de Santander has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 26-27 season. Designed and produced by local Cantabrian sports brand Austral, the new strip brings back a stealthy black look accented with the club's signature green detailing.
The Austral Racing Santander 26-27 third jersey has a predominantly black base adorned with a tonal graphic pattern inspired by the lábaro cántabro, rendered in varying intensities across the front. Vivid green accents trim the collar, sleeve cuffs, and lower hem, while the sponsors and Austral logo appear in crisp white alongside the full-color club crest. Green shorts and black socks with green turnovers complete the uniform.
As a special tribute to the fanbase, the interior of the shirt is sublimated with the names of all 18,804 club season ticket holders for the 26-27 campaign. The kit debuted with a limited initial release of 500 units on the club's online store before rolling out to the physical shop at El Sardinero.
Giugliano 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Italian Serie C club Giugliano Calcio 1928 and technical partner Legea have officially unveiled their new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. The Campania-based club, nicknamed the Tigrotti, continue their collaboration with the domestic sportswear brand for the upcoming league campaign.
The Legea Giugliano 26-27 home shirt embraces the club's traditional gialloblù identity with a classic horizontal striped design. Bold blue hoops run across the bright yellow torso, complemented by solid yellow sleeves, subtle blue trim on the cuffs, and a matching crew collar. The chest features the club's tiger crest alongside Legea branding and local principal sponsor graphics.
The Legea Giugliano 26-27 away shirt delivers an ornate design inspired by local classical architecture. Set on an off-white base, the jersey showcases subtle fresco-style illustrations in warm sand tones, highlighted by classical columns, intricate motifs, and the Roman numerals MCMXXVIII honoring the club's founding year of 1928. Matching sand-colored trim on the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs rounds off the look.
