Warrior Sports have unveiled Liverpool’s European shirt for the 2014/15 season.

The European shirt, or third shirt, features a checkered sash, which is new to Anfield and is complemented by a classic red collar. In line with the home and away versions, an embroidered Liver Bird sits prominently as the club crest, while two commemorative Eternal Flames and a 96 logo are positioned on the nape of the neck.

Fans will be able to see Liverpool in the new third kit for the first time during the Reds’ pre-season tour when they meet Olympiacos in Chicago on Sunday, July 27.

LFC manager, Brendan Rodgers, praised the new kits stating: “It’s great that Warrior has considered both style and performance with each kit in this new collection. It’s important for the team that they look and feel like a formidable force on the pitch and I think all three kits achieve that.”

Warrior Global Head of Sports Marketing Football Richard Wright commented on the design principles of the third shirt: “This kit complements the red home and yellow away perfectly, creating a collection which is distinctive and fresh. It has the nostalgic essence of past kits in line with the cutting-edge football Brendan Rodgers has brought back to Anfield. We can’t wait to see LFC compete in the third kit on Europe’s elite stage next season.”

The third strip will be available to buy in store and sent out to fans who have pre-ordered on Tuesday, July 22.
