General Manager of New Balance Football, Richard Wright said: “This is a really special anniversary for the club, and our team wanted to create a special shirt to mark this moment. The New Balance design team has taken the design inspiration of the 1892 kit whilst incorporating modern techniques and the latest in New Balance kit technology. We think the fans will love this shirt and will see it as a fitting way to celebrate such an important landmark for the club.”

To commemorate the tragic events of Hillsborough, the 96 emblem, encased by the eternal flames, sits at the nape of the neck.

Liverpool FC captain Jordan Henderson said: “It is an honour to be captain of Liverpool FC as it celebrates its 125th anniversary. When you play at Anfield, you are aware of the history that surrounds the Club and what it means to the fans both in Liverpool and around the world. This special edition kit is a fitting tribute to celebrate the 125th anniversary and one that I am sure it will be really popular with the fans.”

The Liverpook FC 2017/18 New Balance special edition away kit will be available from June 5th at World Soccer Shop, Subside SportsKitbag, Lovell Soccer, Pro:Direct Soccer and UK Soccer Shop.
