What’s the verdict?
With a little help from Jordan Henderson, Jon Flanagan, Simon Mignolet and Philippe Coutinho, kit makers New Balance this evening officially unveiled Liverpool’s home kit for the 2016/17 season.

Liverpool’s home jerseys are traditionally all red so it’s hard to come up with anything too out of the ordinary and the latest effort is a neat number with gold text and a button-up collar at the neck.
The kit does features a special tribute to Anfield, with the message “There’s no noise like the Anfield noise.”
There is no white on the kit at all, while the Hillsborough tragedy is remembered on the back of the collar
The kit is currently available to buy on the New Balance website.
This is how fans reacted on Twitter…
Liverpool 16/17 home kit is £40 cheaper than the Chelsea one.
