The Liverpool 26-27 home kit heavily draws inspiration from the iconic 1989-1991 era, featuring a familiar white geometric pattern scattered across a deep red base.
Liverpool 26-27 Kit With Trefoil Logo
The core of the frustration, highlighted by prominent kit commentary account Kit Crimes on social media, centers around the absence of the classic Adidas Trefoil logo. Instead of the vintage emblem that adorned the original 1989 shirt, the new iteration utilizes the brand's standard modern performance logo.
Furthermore, critics have pointed out the collar design, arguing that the modern crew neckline feels like a missed opportunity to utilize the classic overlapping V-neck seen on the original 90s kits - a collar style that Adidas recently revived for Real Madrid's current third shirt.
However, this design approach perfectly aligns with Adidas' current global kit strategy. The brand has currently reserved the iconic Trefoil logo for its elite tier away kits, keeping primary shirts anchored with the modern performance logo to maintain a cohesive brand hierarchy.
