Liverpool unveil new 2024-25 home kit in a throwback to 1984 as they prepare for life under incoming boss Arne Slot next season… with Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah as role models despite doubts about his future.

Liverpool have unveiled their new 2024-25 kit with a touch of nostalgia after using a legendary old shirt as inspiration.

The Reds are preparing for a new season without manager Jurgen Klopp after the German announced he was leaving his role at Anfield after nine years in the job, with Feyenoord boss Arne Slot set to replace him in charge.

And now the club have given a hint of what life at the club will be like after the 56-year-old has left after revealing his new shirt for next season, inspired by his famous 1984 team.

That iconic team sported a similar design when they won the treble of the First Division, League Cup and European Cup under manager Joe Fagan with a team widely regarded as the best in their history.

The new jersey marks a significant change from the current kit, which is predominantly plain red with white collar and sleeves.

Mohamed Salah was also seen in the new kit with a training jacket on top, alongside defender Ibrahima Konate.

Striker Darwin Núñez (left) and midfielder Alexis MacAllister also participated in the photo session.

Club legend Graeme Souness is seen wearing the classic 1984 shirt against Notts County.

This version incorporates a pinstripe along the body and two white straps with a red stripe in the middle that acts as a collar, like the classic design.

There is also a horizontal line running down the center of the striped pattern, giving the design a more edgy look.

Last season, the team logos were all white, but for the upcoming campaign things have changed slightly. Now the logo of the manufacturer Nike and the club crest have been set in gold.

However, Liverpool’s main sponsor, Standard Chartered, remains dressed in white, as does its main sponsor, Expedia.

Club captain Virgil van Dijk led the Liverpool stars showing off the new kit on a Liverpool-branded scooter, a nod to the Reds’ European Cup final penalty shoot-out win against Roma in the Italian capital.

Defender Joe Gómez was another of the players who modeled the kit for next season.

The Dutchman was seen modeling the shirt despite doubts over his own future as the defender’s contract expires next season. Earlier in the season he refused to commit his future to the club, before later insisting that he “loves the club”.

Van Dijk, who modeled the kit alongside Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate, Darwin Núñez, Alexis Mac Allister and Joe Gómez, said he was happy with the new design and praised the “retro” feel of the shirt.

He praised the famous 1984 team and hoped this would allow the current team to “build on history.”

“I’m a big fan of our new kit for next season and I love the fact that we are bringing back the retro vibe. We are a club built on history and the 1984 team was one of the most successful in our history “I’m sure our fans will appreciate the nod to these club legends.”

Liverpool hope to do without Jurgen Klopp (left) next season, with Arne Slot (right) in line to replace the German.

Meanwhile, Taylor Hinds, captain of the women’s team, said: “It’s a very different look for the new season and we’re looking forward to wearing it.” The retro inspiration always makes you feel part of the club’s history while you play.”

Liverpool’s plans for next season come as Slot moves closer to being confirmed as the new manager.

Last week, Mail Sport reported that his Dutch club Feyenoord were ready to complete a deal for Slot to become Liverpool manager after Slot publicly admitted his desire to accept the job.

Feyenoord, as revealed by Mail Sport earlier this week, want a minimum compensation of £8.6m to release Slot from his contract.

The Dutch club are trying to force a deal that would see Liverpool pay more than €10m (£8.58m) for their manager, a sum that would not include members of staff who would follow him to England.
