The neckline features the 97 emblem encased by the eternal flames, in memory of those who lost their lives at Hillsborough. The change from 96 to 97 is in recognition of Andrew Devine, the 97th person unlawfully killed as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.
Liverpool FC captain, Jordan Henderson, said: “We’re all so proud to wear the Liverpool FC jersey and be part of the swoosh family. We know exactly what this jersey means to our fans, and we can’t wait to run out in it at Anfield.”
