Liverpool have a lucrative kit manufacturing deal in place with adidas, but they will be wearing old Nike shirts at the start of pre-season.
WHAT HAPPENED?
It was announced back in March that the Premier League champions will be switching to jerseys featuring three iconic stripes from the 2025-26 campaign. A five-year deal has been agreed with German sportswear giants.

Liverpool have traditionally unveiled their new kits ahead of a final outing at Anfield in any given campaign, but that has not been the case in 2025. That is because their partnership with adidas will not officially commence until August 1.
Liverpool are also set to face AC Milan and Yokohama FM during their tour of Asia before a new kit deal, which is reported to be worth £60 m a year, kicks in. They will be able to sport adidas stripes against Athletic Club on August 4 and in a Community Shield clash with FA Cup winners Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium on August 10.
