Liverpool Kit 1976–77 to 1981–82

LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL SHIRT HISTORY
1976–77 to 1981–82

Design: UMBRO
Sponsor: HITACHI (79–82)
This was a real golden era for the club fashionwise.
Not only did they wear one the best
home kits ever, but also one of
 the most
distinctive aways. This white, black and red
change strip is fondly remembered by
Liverpool fans. Like the home strip, it evolved
gradually from a round-neck version and
sported the logo of sponsors Hitachi from
78–79 onwards. Also worn with red socks.
Worn in: The 2–1 victory over West Ham in the
80–81 League Cup final replay. Also worn in the
77–78 League Cup final defeat against an
impressive Nottingham Forest.
Worn by: Jimmy Case, Kenny Dalglish (who
scored his first goal for the club in this kit at
Middlesbrough in the 77–78 season).
