Liverpool Home Jersey
1985-86 Season
I remember getting this kit shortly after starting Senior School in the summer of 1985, I recall it was a Birthday present from my Mum and Dad.
Unlike my previous replica kit, this one didn't come in any fancy presentation box but rather polythene bags with the classic adidas logo printed all over them.
Whilst my first football kit remains one of my favourite Liverpool kits of all time, this kit is my outright favourite. I love everything about it, the shade of red used, the detailed jersey design, the adidas stripes on the jersey & shorts and the socks with those white adidas logos on the sides.
I played football with my friends most evenings after school and I constantly wore this kit. Afterwards I would stand over the bathroom sink and carefully handwash it removing any grass stains and mud. I would then rinse it in cold water and I can remember how my hands would turn blue because the water was so cold. It would then be hung up to try in the airing cupboard ready for wear the following evening.
A great kit and one which holds
so many fantastic memories for me.
