Liverpool will wear new third kit for the first time against Manchester United on Sunday

Liverpool will showcase their new third kit in this Sunday’s high-profile Premier League match against Manchester United, the club has confirmed.

The Reds will travel to Old Trafford, aiming to extend their perfect start to the Premier League season.

The new third kit, which features a sleek white design, was officially unveiled on Tuesday.

The kit includes black shorts and white socks, while goalkeeper Alisson Becker will sport a green goalkeeper uniform for the occasion.

The third kit also features a vertical Nike logo as part of the brand’s ‘Together We Rise’ collection, a design initiative celebrating the growing influence of women’s football on the global stage.

“Each third kit is inspired by the club’s unique story, distinct identity, culture and diverse communities. LFC’s shirt is ‘rebellious by design’ and a celebration of female punk artists who pioneered a new sound in the city,” Liverpool said.

“It fuses the iconic club colours with a loud mixed pattern in homage to the city’s fearless artists and features in parts the Liver bird feathers.

“On the reverse of the jersey, the 97 emblem encased by the eternal flames sits proudly at the nape of the neck in memory of those children, women and men who were unlawfully killed as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.”

Hinds said: “I love the kit; I think it’s different, especially with the Swoosh and what it represents.

“It’s also still got the Liverpool red in it, and I can’t wait to wear it.”

Robertson added: “I really like it; I like the colour and the detail on the shirt, especially with the Swoosh going up, which is a bit different.

“It’s signifying the rise of the women’s game and we’re a big part of it to try to help that.”

Dowie, club ambassador, commented: “It’s really slick, it’s fierce and I love the energy of the kit.

“It’s great to see more fans at games, the pitches, the stadiums – it makes me really proud to have been one of the first to play professionally and to see now that girls can have a dream to be a professional player.”

Easton, part of Forever Reds, LFC’s official former players association, added: “Back in the ’80s and ’90s when I was playing, it was different.

“But to see the development and the growth nowadays, it makes me very proud I was part of that history.”

Liverpool announced that when the men’s team wears their kit in European competition this season, it will feature the LFC Foundation patch on the reverse.

The Reds have made an impressive start to the Premier League season, winning their opening two matches under new manager Arne Slot.

Slot marked his first game at Anfield with a 2-0 victory over Brentford on Sunday, thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool also kicked off their campaign with a 2-0 win against Ipswich in their season opener.

Slot’s biggest challenge so far in his Liverpool tenure awaits this weekend, as the Dutchman leads his team to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on Sunday.
