Liverpool's new home jersey for the 2026/27 season could be another fan favorite, with a leaked design emerging that is similar to the iconic Candy strip of the late 1980s and early 1990s

According to Footy Headlines, Adidas could be set to bring back a design synonymous with Liverpool between 1989 and 1991. Italian domestic appliance manufacturer Candy was emblazoned on the front back then, with a similar design potentially set to be used in the 2026/27 campaign.

Arguably Liverpool’s most iconic shirt, the original design was worn as the Reds lifted the league title under player-manager Sir Kenny Dalglish — and designs where silverware is collected are always remembered fondly.

Adidas designed the original version and has now rekindled its association with Liverpool as part of a decade-long agreement that began last summer.

Next season's home kit is likely to be officially released in May. It is likely to be worn on the final day of the Premier League campaign against Brentford on May 24.

Last year, Liverpool wore its Nike kit on the final day of the season, but that was because the deal with Adidas had not yet come into play at the time.

Footy Headlines has leaked Adidas' supposed chosen design.

When it was released, Liverpool and the German sports giant made a record-breaking start to their new 10-year partnership, with more home and away kits sold in the first week of it being on sale than ever before.

The launch the new Adidas home and away jerseys was the most successful in the club’s history, with unprecedented levels of demand in the opening few days.

The home kit has outstripped sales of last year’s launch by over 700 per cent, with orders placed in 150 countries.

Meanwhile, Liverpool's flagship club store — outside The Kop and Main Stand at Anfield — had its busiest ever week. The newly refurbished outlet, which was reopened in time for the new kit launches, saw record footfall.

Liverpool's then-record signing, Florian Wirtz, who arrived for a fee that could reach around $155 million (£116 million) from Bayer Leverkusen, was the number one best seller for name and number printing on newly purchased shirts in the first seven days.

Wirtz was later overtaken by Alexander Isak in terms of record outlay, with both stars popular for shirt printing.

Liverpool.com says: Jerseys are always best when the Reds win things. That is what dictates, above all else, how fondly they are remembered.

Across the course of a 10-year spell with Liverpool, Adidas will have a strong chance of associating itself with plenty of silverware. For now, the priority for Arne Slot's men is to ensure a pathway to the Champions League spots.
