Liverpool unveiled their Nike third kit for the 2021-22 campaign on Wednesday, continuing the club's history with yellow shirts.

The Reds' third strip has been inspired by the flags of the infamous Kop and the 1977 European Cup final.

The collar and sleeves feature a red and yellow chequered trim reminiscent of the flags and banners that decorate Anfield's Kop and first illuminated Liverpool's section of fans during their dominant 1977 European Cup final win over Borussia Monchengladbach.

May 25 is remembered by many Anfield faithful for the miracle of Istanbul in 2005 but long before that it represented the start of the club's love affair with the competition.
