Did Adidas Subtly Change the Design of the Liverpool 25-26 Third Kit?
Aug 3, 2025, by Phan Tich Giay
- Design Difference: Leaked images show a subtle design change in the Adidas Liverpool 2025-26 third kit, specifically in the collar and sleeve cuff details.
- Possible Explanations: The design difference could be due to variations between the authentic player-issue jersey and the fan replica, or a late design adjustment by Adidas.
- Uncertainty Remains: The true reason for the design difference is currently unknown, and confirmation will only come with the official launch of the kit.
New leaked images of the highly anticipated Adidas Liverpool 2025-26 third kit have revealed a subtle but noticeable difference in the design compared to earlier leaks, leading to speculation about a possible late design change from Adidas.
Liverpool 25-26 Third Kit - Two Versions
Two leaked versions of Liverpool's kit are 90% similar, with differences only in the collar and sleeve cuff details.
The first images of the Liverpool 25-26 third kit surfaced in May 2025, showing the jersey on a model. In that version, the white collar and cuffs featured a single, thin black stripe running along the very edge.
However, new official product pictures of the kids' version, which leaked a few days ago, show a different design. This latest version has a white collar and cuffs with two thin black stripes running through the middle, creating a more traditional "sandwich" look.
What's the Reason for the Difference?
Footy Headlines may offer two hypotheses for this difference as follows:
- Authentic vs. Replica: It's possible that the two designs correspond to the two different versions of the kit. The single-stripe design could be for the player-issue authentic jersey, while the double-stripe version is for the fan replica jersey. Brands occasionally have minor design differences between the two tiers.
- A Late Design Change: The other, perhaps more likely, theory is that Adidas made a late adjustment to the design. The version seen on the model may have been an early sample, with the double-stripe design being the final version that will be sold to the public.
For now, this remains a mystery. We will have to wait for the official launch of the Adidas Liverpool 2025-26 third kit to get a definitive answer and see which design—or if both—makes it to retail.
What do you think is the reason for the difference? And which version of the collar and cuffs do you prefer? Let us know your thoughts 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.
