The legend I am talking about is the 2004-2006 Liverpool FC home kit. You might scoff at this statement, but give it some thought.
This is the kit we will all fondly remember in twenty years time, when we look back on our greatest and most emotional victory which was Istanbul. This is the kit that we will be buying on eBay from some dodgy bloke in Thailand. And hopefully, this will be the kit that will be remembered for the dawn of another successful era for Liverpool FC.
While for months, we have all been waiting and speculating about the impending Adidas release, we had forgotten what we had actually got at that moment - which was one of our best kits ever - if not the best.
This kit has the three ingredients needed to be great. It is almost all red, it is linked with success, and it evokes great memories. Other kits fail in these departments - if you take the previous two:
2001-02 :- successful kit, good memories but too much white.
Then 2002-04 :- almost all red (fantastic looking) but poor success and evokes memories of Diouf, Cheyrou et al.
This puts this kit up there with the plain red w/ white V of the seventies as our best kits - edging out the mid to late eighties kits due to European success.
I hope you will all join me in bidding a fond farewell to this kit which has done us so proud.
And here's why :
Thanks for the memories.
