LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL SHIRT HISTORY
1982–83 to 1984–85
Design: UMBRO
Sponsor: CROWN PAINTS
The 82–83 season saw a huge change of kit
design for the club. The previous plain
and
simple red shirt now included that early 80s
fashion necessity: pinstripes. The shorts and
socks also included white trim. Crown Paints
became the club’s next sponsor and their logo
appeared on the shirts in two different
versions in subsequent years. The last two
seasons in which the kit was worn again saw
the club collect the Division 1 title.
Worn in: A 5–0 thrashing of Everton in 82–83
and the 2–1 Milk Cup final triumph over Man
Utd in 82–83, when Bob Paisley collected the
trophy in his last year as manager. Also, a 1–0
win vs Everton in the 83–84 Milk Cup final.
Worn by: Ian Rush, Michael Robinson.
