Liverpool unveil new home shirt after champions switch from Nike to adidas
The Premier League champions replaced a previous deal with manufacturer Nike, penning terms with adidas in March this year.
The Reds previously wore adidas kits between 1985 to 1996, and then again between 2006 and 2012, the partnership has seen the team win three top-flight domestic league titles and three FA Cup wins.
Though not official, the deal is thought to be five years and worth more than £60m per year.
The home strip takes on a strawberry red tone, while the away and third strip, in white and sea green respectively, see the Reds pay tribute to previously loved kits by adidas.
The record Premier League kit deal belongs to Manchester United following a £90m per year contract with adidas signed back in July 2023.
"Everyone at the club is incredibly excited to welcome adidas back into the LFC family," Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan said after confirming the new deal in March.
"We have enjoyed fantastic success together in the past and created some of the most iconic LFC kits of all time. adidas and Liverpool share an ambition of success and we couldn't be more excited to partner together again as we look forward to creating more incredible kits to help drive on pitch performance. We'd like to thank Nike for their support over the last five years and wish them well for the future."
"The jerseys worn during previous partnerships are some of the greatest ever created," Adidas chief executive Bjørn Gulden said in a statement. "We are honored to once again provide the players with cutting-edge technology to perform at the highest level and are looking forward to creating more classics for the fans."

Arsenal to make significant loss as they begin talks to sell £35m flop
Arsenal are reportedly in talks to sell off an unwanted player, with Mikel Arteta prepared to take a major loss on the £35million flop. After three consecutive runner-up finishes in the Premier League, Arsenal are going all out this summer transfer window in an attempt to end their two-decade long wait for a league title. So far the Gunners have spent just shy of £200m on six new players, including Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke. More could arrive at the Emirates before deadline day, with the likes of Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet linked. But in order to pursue these deals, Arsenal need to cash-in on several unwanted stars who have failed to make the grade under Arteta. In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – click here and sign up before Friday to make sure you don't miss the first edition. This includes Fabio Vieira, who was tipped for big things when he signed from Porto three years ago but has since made just five Premier League starts. Injuries, the form of Martin Odegaard and the emergence of Ethan Nwaneri, saw the attacking midfielder slip down the pecking order, and he was sent back to Porto on loan last season. But despite making 42 appearances across all competitions, the Portuguese giants have opted not to re-sign the 25-year-old. The midfielder did not go on Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia due to his participation at the Club World Cup with Porto earlier this summer, but it has long been know that his future is not in north London. However, Vieira has now been offered an escape route, with The Athletic reporting that Stuttgart have approached Arsenal and are working on a deal for the player. Appearances: 49 Goals: 3 Assists: 10 Trophies: Community Shield (2023) Vieira has two years left on his contract and it has been previously reported that Arsenal would be willing to accept an offer of around £17m – half what they signed the Portuguese for. More Trending Stuttgart finished ninth in the Bundesliga last season but can offer Europa League football after winning the German Cup. Now back from their Asia tour, Arsenal have two more pre-season friendlies, where Vieira's involvement or lack thereof could confirm the transfer speculation. The Gunners take on Villarreal on Wednesday and Athletic Bilbao on Sunday – both at the Emirates – before kicking-off the new Premier League campaign away to Manchester United on August 17.

Head coach Regis Le Bris signs new long-term deal with Sunderland
Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris has signed a new long-term contract until summer 2028. The 49-year-old Frenchman was appointed as Black Cats boss in June 2024 following his departure from Lorient. Le Bris led Sunderland to promotion in his first campaign at the helm, a 2-1 win over Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final in May marking the club's return to the Premier League after an eight-year absence. Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce that Régis Le Bris has signed a new long-term contract at the Club! ❤️ — Sunderland AFC (@SunderlandAFC) August 4, 2025 'The connection I have with the staff, players, and supporters has been natural, and we shared many great moments together,' said Le Bris, whose side open their 2025-26 campaign at home to West Ham on August 16. 'The collective ambition is there to see and now, there is a desire to become stronger. I can feel the energy and intent to push forward, and we need that in the next challenges we will face. 'In every part of the organisation, everyone has their own part to play, and we are all aligned.' Sunderland finished fourth in the Championship last term before earning a dramatic play-off semi-final victory over Coventry to seal their spot at Wembley, where Tommy Watson's winner sent the Black Cats back into the top flight. The club have since been busy over the summer transfer window with eight new signings arriving on Wearside, including former Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka. Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman said: 'Like every Sunderland supporter, I'm delighted we are announcing this contract extension for Regis. 'It provides clarity going into the Premier League season, but more importantly it recognises his contribution and continued commitment to the club. 'Regis has an unrelenting desire for progression that matches our own and we look forward to continuing our partnership throughout the upcoming season, as we move forward with aligned objectives that reflect our shared ambition.'
