Liverpool supporters have been buzzing all week for another reason other than top of the table. The club announced Monday that Adidas will step in as kit supplier on August 1, 2025, ending a five-year run with Nike. Though the Reds still have months left before the transition, leaked images have already ignited conversation about next season’s look, and the rumored details tell quite a story.
The home shirt, officially named “Strawberry Red,” is set to feature white logos and a design some fans say echoes the memorable 2006-08 kit once donned by Liverpool icons like Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.
An off-white “Wonder White” away version is also rumored, with subtle black and red touches that might pay tribute to classic Liverpool colorways.
The third shirt, dubbed “Sea Green,” is expected to provide a refreshing contrast for road fixtures, although the final looks may shift before their scheduled release in August 2025.

“Everyone at the club is incredibly excited to welcome Adidas back into the LFC family,” said Billy Hogan, Liverpool’s chief executive officer. “We have enjoyed fantastic success together in the past and created some of the most iconic LFC kits of all time. Adidas and Liverpool share an ambition of success and we couldn’t be more excited to partner together again as we look forward to creating more incredible kits to help drive on-pitch performance. We’d like to thank Nike for their support over the last five years and wish them well for the future.”
A Familiar Yet Fresh Start for the Reds
In many ways, it feels like a homecoming. Adidas first joined forces with Liverpool in 1985, and in that era, the Reds lifted multiple trophies while donning the brand’s three stripes. After another partnership from 2006 to 2012, this reunion has a nostalgic air. Yet plenty’s fresh about this agreement, especially if the rumored $80 million per-year figure is close to accurate. If finalized, that’s a sizable leap from the previous contract with Nike.
Supporters won’t see the official unveiling until August 2025. Arne Slot’s current squad might have etched another chapter in Liverpool’s storied history by then. With the team challenging for top honors this season, it’s hard not to imagine how electric Anfield will be if they secure more silverware, only to usher in a new campaign with a new kit supplier.
Leaked snapshots online show the Champions League version of the shirt, complete with the iconic three stripes on the sleeves. One image highlights the UEFA patch that reads “6,” honoring Liverpool’s six European Cup triumphs. Even without formal confirmation of each design’s final details, fans are already imagining how next year’s squad—whatever trophies they may have earned—will look wearing the three stripes again.
Until then, the Reds continue their push on all fronts. The switch to Adidas may not happen until summer, but anticipation is building now.
