Adidas Liverpool 2026 Pre-Match & Anthem Jacket
The new Adidas LFC 2026 pre-match shirt & anthem jacket will be mainly black, combined with the classic "EQT Green" (a distinct teal/green shade) as the primary accent color.
While no images of the new items have leaked yet, they are expected to draw heavily from the bold designs and iconic branding of the original EQT period, which featured large three-stripe branding and unique color-blocking.
A Continued EQT Theme for 2025-26 Season
This release confirms the EQT era as the central design theme for Adidas's 2025-26 Liverpool collections. It follows the 2025-26 third kit and the Terrace Icons collection, both of which were direct tributes to the beloved Adidas EQT kits from the early 1990s.
The Adidas Liverpool 2026 pre-match shirt and anthem jacket are expected to be launched in late 2025 and will be worn by the players for their warm-ups from January 2026 until the end of the season.
