The Liverpool Shirts Museum 1989-1991 Home Player Shirt

Candy continued to sponsor Liverpool in the 1989-1991 seasons. The red home shirt for this era has significant changes - instead of adopting plain red colour like the ones from 1985-1989, this piece shows a specky-red pattern colour. For the shirts from season 1989-1990, there are no patches on the sleeves and sewn on numbers are stitched on the backside. For the season 1990-1991, Division One Football League patches are stitched on the sleeves and velveteen numbers are ironed on the backside.

Typical 80s Liverpool adidas era player shirts are characterised by having the beautiful embroideries. Left: Liverpool club crest is embossed on the replica shirt. Right: Liverpool club crest is embroidered on the players shirt.

In the 1980s, Adidas did not produce any long sleeved replicas. So a genuine long sleeved Liverpool shirt must be a player shirt.

The effect of embroidery is more conspicous if we view from the inner side.
