The look of any one kit, in line with Liverpool’s on-field pursuits, can create a real sense of connection and subsequent nostalgia in the years to follow.
On the other hand, manufacturers can miss the target completely and leave fans dreamily looking at what could have been if others were tasked with the job.
There are no shortage of concept kits across the web made by talented graphic designers, and these are just some of the ones we wish were real.

With an all-red kit there is not always scope for drastic change, but the shade of red and the small details can be what elevates it above the rest.
Pinstripes have proven a hit in recent years, and @LongdayKit has continued with the theme in a sophisticated and clean look – using a beige to offset the red.

There is a much greater licence to explore colour and design with the away and third kits, as we’ve seen with ‘toxic thunder’ and ‘bold citrus’ – meaning they’re not always to everyone’s taste.
But you can’t really go wrong with white and gold, however, as this brilliant design from @eenhoopjob shows, where three simple diagonal stripes provide enough detail without being too in your face:

And that is why @saintetixx’s is simply stunning, where the soft touch of triangular shapes elevates its design:
Using Nike’s current template @AshleyPeake8 has brilliantly used the Liverbird as the background feature for this beige, dark green and red away kit – all which blend perfectly together:
Black and bold
There’s just something striking about a black kit with a pop of colour, whether that be gold, red or white – they immediately catch your attention.
The contrast is what grabs you, and like Alisson‘s goalkeeper kit in the 2019/20 season, they also readily prove to be fan favourites.
And @saintetixx’s ‘infrared’ concept certainly fits the bill, with its simplicity hitting all the right notes:
