Taking a matte black approach and looking to embrace minimalist appreciation, Liverpool and New Balance have released the 2016/17 season away kit.
The shirt is one for the purists with a washed black finish and flutters of a punchy red reign throughout as the club begin to look ahead to next term. Additional lock ups like the Liverpool crest, the New Balance logo and complimenting sponsor in the shape of Standard Chartered all look strong with the help of their gun metal finish.
Dedicated to a club rich in both sentiment and history, the iconic lit torches so symbolic to LFC stamp the back of the shirt. The collar is possibly the stand out talking point. Simple and stylised is clearly the objective and it's one that will look sharp on pitch. Complimenting the outfield shirt is this bold goalkeeper shirt. Bright and bursting, it's how those between the sticks should be shown.
With the Premier League fixtures for 2016/17 announced last week, the first competitive outing for this number will be against Arsenal on August 13th. As fixtures go, it's a curtain raiser for fresh threads.
