The goalkeeper away kit is horrible. But the away kit looks slightly better now that I can see all of it.

the kit looks nice. but i can't believe that the official club store is selling it with crappy black writing. Thats a manc colour.

Why not red like last years? Or the red adidas lettering?

I'm gona get it but not with the black lettering.

Dont know if this has been posted yet, this was on LFC.tv...

"I'll have to be quite quick," announces Jamie Carragher as he strides into Liverpool Film Studios. "I've got to be at Toys 'R' Us for half two."
It's the day of the photoshoot to promote the club's stylish new away kit, and Carra is one of six players called as models.

For the next few hours, his body will not be his own as he's stripped, shunted, shifted and snapped from every angle.

If truth be told, such days are not the highlight of any player's calendar, especially as Liverpool Film Studios are more Halewood than Hollywood. In fact, it's the kind of day when a trip to Toys 'R' Us sounds appealing.

But despite any anxiousness, Carra and his clubmates deal with the exercise as all good pros should: with a smile on their face.

To make things easier, the players' arrival times are staggered to save them waiting around.

First up is skipper Steven Gerrard. Off the field, he's undoubtedly the club's most in-demand player, so he knows the drill to a tee.

Among the shots lined up for the 27-year-old is a picture of him and the director holding a football aloft. Later, the director will be cleverly replaced with Kaka using a bit of Photoshop.

After being snapped in three different outfits, Gerrard's asked to do a short radio interview to be aired on kit launch day. Again, no problem, though he does reveal afterwards that he still gets freaked out every time he hears his own voice while driving.

As he's chatting away, Carra turns up, with John Arne Riise and Xabi Alonso hot on his heels.

Riise heads straight for the sofa, where he spies some handsome new Adidas boots – in yellow.

"You're not wearing them," chuckles Gerrard as he picks up a pair of complimentary trainers. "I'll not let you!"

Next in front of the camera is Carra, undoubtedly the most eager to see the new kit.

There seems to be a consensus among the players that yellow wasn't really their colour, so they're made up with the white, black and red number Adidas has dreamed up for 2007-08.

Just as well, really, as the kit took many months to produce. It all started with a brief produced by Adidas UK for their design team in Germany, including a lowdown on LFC, its history and, most importantly, its colours.

Ideas were then bounced back and forth until there were three or four designs ready to present to Rick Parry and Rafa Benitez.

So, what does Carra think of the final version? "Sound innit," he declares, before making his way to Toys 'R' Us.

By this time, Pepe Reina and Dirk Kuyt have arrived, while it's Riise's turn to take to the stage.

The Norwegian is another who knows exactly what's expected; though his warrior-like picture pose prompts Reina to offer the nickname Rambo.

The day is made much easier by the fact most of the personnel have private deals with Adidas. The only player with loyalties elsewhere is Carra, so, in order to prevent a conflict, he's never pictured in Adidas gear without his teammates.

With Riise finished, Alonso, Kuyt and Reina do their bit with equal portions of professionalism, and the entire shoot is complete in about five hours.

"They were all quite relaxed today," says Clive Evans, one of Adidas's men on the ground.

"To tell you the truth, there are no problem players at Liverpool – they're all first class."

First up is skipper Steven Gerrard. Off the field, he's undoubtedly the club's most in-demand player, so he knows the drill to a tee.

Among the shots lined up for the 27-year-old is a picture of him and the director holding a football aloft. Later, the director will be cleverly replaced with Kaka using a bit of Photoshop.

Who the fook are adidas trying to kid? Do they think we're stupid and haven't seen the other versions that are exactly the same but just in different colours.
i.e.

Really original aren't they?

I don't think the white one is too bad TBH (fooking carlsberg logo aside) but I think I may try and keep my money in my pocket and just wear this:

not much difference really and 40 quid still firmly in my pocket. :nod

by **LFC2007** » Thu May 31, 2007 6:58 pm

Same pattern, different colour.

No doubt they'll save a bit of money on production!

by **Rob Sallnow** » Thu May 31, 2007 7:49 pm

I think the new away kit looks great, and contary to others I think green IS a Liverpool colour and the Carlsberg logo looks fine.

It looks even better when you look at the Chelsea green kit which is almost as bad as our recent Reebok yellow and green monstrosity.

I'll wait for the Euro kit to come out before thinking of getting one.

by **The Manhattan Project** » Thu May 31, 2007 10:51 pm

Don't like the new away kit.

Same as the old Reebok one.

Another green Carlsberg logo.

by **AussieKopite** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 3:32 am

I've noticed the Adidas football logo isn't on the shirt sleeve anymore... I can't see it anywhere...

by **The Manhattan Project** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 4:54 am

The away kit socks don't have the three stripes on them either.

That annoys me.

Kaka

That pic of Gerrard and Kaka was a promo for the Champions' League final mate.

Of course - I HOPE I am wrong, and Kaka joins us shortly...
