The wait is over, as today Liverpool revealed the club's home kit for next season. While it's too early to speculate as to which new players will don the famous red jersey, gold will be the new white in terms of detail on the shirt.
The kit was leaked last month after promotional images appeared on New Balance's website. The short henley collar with a single button -- a controversial feature -- remains in its full glory. As for the goalkeeper's kit, green is still the colour of choice.

The official site has all the details and accompanying promotions for fans to consider. The features of the kit have been described with the customary hyperbole and jargon that one would expect:
The team’s world-famous red shirt, shorts and socks now feature eye-catching flashes of amber yellow for next season – designed for easy identification at rapid speed.
It features gradiated mesh to allow for increased air movement around the body, a tipped short stand button polo collar and is completely seam-free for greater comfort and reduced friction.
