Nike chief makes new Liverpool kit promise that fans will love

Nike senior director Heidi Burgett insists Liverpool will enjoy an individual look with their kit next season.

Burgett shared an image of Nigeria's 2020 strip to which a Liverpool fan account (@LFCOffside) replied: "I don't know how Nigeria keep getting kits that are a billion times better than the rest of Nike's templated bull**** but here's hoping whoever's doing it for them is in charge of Liverpool's 20-21 kit."

The Nike chief moved quickly to appease the supporter, replying: "We're ditching the templates. For the 2020 kits, Nike designers had 65 chassis options available to them across varying necklines, sleeves, cuffs, badge placement, etc.

"From hand-drawn prints to custom fonts, each team’s look will be its own."

Liverpool have ended their seven-year association with New Balance and will wear Nike from the beginning of next season.
