Perhaps it's intentionally delayed to coincide with the new shop that is due to open in July?

Honestly, some of the overreactions to these kits are mind blowing. It's like I'm in the match ratings thread after a loss.
Obviously everybody has different tastes but some need to calm down.
Personally I like the home shirt and really can't understand the negativity around it. Most are making assumptions about how it will look with the shorts but until we've actually seen it altogether maybe it's better to reserve judgement.
I think the Away kit is my favourite so far, love the sleeves but equally the 3rd is sound better by the day.
Can't wait to see what the training wear looks like. So happy with Nike.

Not sure people saying they don’t like them automatically means they aren’t calm ffs
Sounds like you’re making assumptions here

This is decent but ultimately still just a plain white t-shirt.
If the lines of the sleeves were Navy in the same way that they are white on the away then I'd like it.

Yeah? Tell that to this guy.....
Does he seem calm to you?
No assumptions being made here, read a post and then wrote a post. Simple really "FFS".

He’s posted his opinion like you posted yours.
Sounds like you need to calm down more than anyone else

HAHA! Ok so let me get this straight, you're telling me to calm down because I said that other people should calm down, even though that's exactly what you've taken issue with in the first place? This is just weird.
I think you're just not liking the fact that I disagreed with a couple of your posts and now you're just looking for the tiniest thing to disagree with so you can mark my posts as such.
It's cool, you crack on with the neg ratings. Hope you're ok hun.

Liverpool is always a plain red t-shirt... there are design variants that make it different from last seasons.
Different collar shape, the navy around it, different sleeves, different badge, and detail within the shirt.
We don’t have to splash graphics and blocks of colour all over it, for it to be different.

There are many others, including a red with white pinstripe one over the years, I just don't have time to find them all.
Pretty much anyone you think has had "just a plain" shirt in their own colours will have, at various times, additional colours and patterns added. No matter how big the club.

To be honest as much as I like your mock-up and more traditional looking home shirts we've had I do like that we have some variation too, even if it doesn't end up seeming the best. Like the sash and the blue shoulder block on Under Armour's last shirt with us. Some may just like the tradition which is fair enough, but I find Liverpool's home kits very boring. Weren't so bad when they had Adidas. It's not that the shirts themselves are horrible, but there's just little change between them all. I couldn't see myself spending £60 plus on a home shirt every year with minimal changes. I do agree that you can make it look different enough with multiple subtle changes too though.
Like said, I do like the more traditional shirt but for the sake of a bit of distinction between them all I do like how we may chuck a few like next season's one in too.

Wrong? Struggling to see your point here?
We have also had differentiating design elements over the years 85-87 hummel
Chevrons, the sash, navy shoulders... the point I was making is that look back at Liverpool’s kits for the last 7 or 8 years... bar using yellow for sponsor and badge the differences have all been neuenced and the shirt has pretty much been plain red.
As I said you don’t need graphics and blocks of colour to differentiate kits.
So no, not wrong, but appreciate the debate.

You said they always have plain red t-shirts, when many times over the years they have had non red designs, be it stipes, addidas block patterns etc. Recently they seem to have had pretty plain red, but they have definitely deviated from it many times. Sometimes they've had white colars and sleeve trims, different colour sponsors etc.
People often use Real Madrid as an example, but for about 10 years all their white home kits featured purple. So much so you could be forgiven for thinking it was actually their colour scheme.

I hear ya and I'm not necessarily looking for big blocks of colour or anything like that but I personally like it when the Navy blue finds it's way into the white home shirt. I also prefer Navy shorts and Navy socks with the white shirt and I really don't like the all white kit we wear in europe but I can appreciate that others do.
My personal preference is for a white shirt but with classy touches of Navy in it. These are my personal faves from down the years:
Absolutely LOVED the 16-17 kit.
My least favourite are these two bits of plain paper with logos on:
It takes zero effort, IMO, to design a kit that is just plain white and it's just boring. It might be considered classy by some and that's ok, I can understand that, but I just want to see something with a bit about it.

Absolute favourite was the kit with the navy sash from a couple of seasons ago, fucking beautiful kit that. Loved the Under Armour designs.

I know it's not really a design choice as the sponsors will demand it, but our kits would all look approximately a billion times better with a blue sponsor logo instead of a red one. The Aurasma ones were beautiful and the blue logos were a major reason for that.
