LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL SHIRT HISTORY
1976–77 to 1980–81
Design: UMBRO
Sponsor: HITACHI (79–81)
A real rarity was this seldom-worn all-yellow
third strip. One of the most basic kits the club
has ever worn, it did not even feature
a
contrasting collar and cuffs. It is difficult to
ascertain exactly how many times it was worn,
but its most notable showing was against
Manchester Utd in the FA Cup semi-final in
78–79. A replica version was never produced.
Worn in: The titanic FA Cup tie against Man Utd
(78–79), which ended in a 2–2 draw (Liverpool
eventually losing the replay 1–0). Also, a great
2–2 draw with Southampton at The Dell in the
80–81 season.
Worn by: Phil Thompson, Terry McDermott,
Graeme Souness, Alan Hansen.
