Warrior Football and Liverpool FC have unveiled their third shirt for the 2013/14 Premier League season. It's another unique design from the American brand who have taken their inspiration from the Reds' 1995/96 away strip.

Controversial? Perhaps, but at least it's different, so many kit this season feature the same template with different colours so it's good to see a brand going all out with a ballsy design. Warrior received a lot of stick when they revealed the Liverpool away kit and to be honest we weren't overly sure about it at the time but it has grown on us and looks smart when on.



Although third kits are rarely worn throughout a season they do give clubs the canvas to try something new and that's exactly what Warrior have done. The base of the shirt is black with a harlequin purple and white split pattern on the stomach. White and purple patches feature on the sleeves with finishing touches on the collar. The kit is topped off with gold details on the Warrior logo, Liverpool badge and sponsor.

   

This shirt is a tailored fit so if you're eyeing one up you'd probably be safer going a size up from your usual if you've got more of a keg than a six-pack. The shirt is impeccably made and it's refreshing to see a unique design which gives a club a real sense of identity rather than wearing the same shirt as their opponents but in a different colour.

  

So overall a top looking kit we reckon, oh hang on, are they... are they odd socks, oh no they haven't have they? Sweet mother of Dalglish, they really are, the kit features odd socks, one with a purple trim and one with a black trim, a kitman's nightmare and a footballing fashion crime of the highest order.

The new Liverpool third kit will be worn in the away legs of domestic cup competitions, in four Premier League away games and on the club's pre-season tour.



The new Liverpool 3rd shirt is available from selected online stockists including Pro-Direct Soccer.
