Liverpool have unveiled their new home kit for 2019-20 and revealed that Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson will be inheriting the No. 1 jersey from Loris Karius.
The Reds will be wearing a Bob Paisley-inspired strip at Anfield next season designed from suppliers New Balance.
General Manager of New Balance Football, Kenny McCallum, said: “We’re extremely excited and proud to reveal the New Balance Liverpool FC Home Kit.
“Bob Paisley’s incredible legacy was the ultimate inspiration for the 2019/20 strip in what would have been his 100th year.
“We hope this design will bring success to the club as it did when Paisley was manager.”
Liverpool will be hoping to compete in more competitions when gracing their new kit in Premier League, Champions League, and domestic cup outings next season.
Talking about the design defender Virgil van Dijk said: “This year’s home kit is incredibly strong.
“I’m really looking forward to wearing it as we continue to build upon the club’s illustrious history and this season’s success.”
The club said on its official website: “Revealed as part of the launch of the Reds’ New Balance home kit for the next campaign on Thursday morning, the goalkeeper is set to switch from his current No. 13 to No.1 at the beginning of 2019-20.
“Alisson inherits the iconic number from fellow stopper Loris Karius, who is currently on a two-year loan with Besiktas.
“The 2019-20 Liverpool home goalkeeper strip comes in black with striking gold detail and has been designed in line with the outfield players’ jerseys for next season.”
