The history of the Liverpool shirt is the symbol of the club’s identity and its evolution as well. When it first debuted in the 19th century the team had simple equipment composed of red shirts and white shorts. But once the sixties started the team went through a huge transformation when the famous and legendary coach Bill Shankly stepped into the game and introduced a full red equipment to inspire fear to opponents and confidence for the team and supporters.
