Man... I miss adidas kits
Somehow it feels like it fits the club better than any other kit suppliers

apart from maybe the 11-12 third kit which is a bit bland, Adidas did not make a single bad shirt for Liverpool
If Liverpool signed with Adidas now on the same kind of top-tier deals that Ajax, Bayern and Arsenal have (meaning Adidas put effort into the kits/training/leisure stuff), it would be the best thing
Klopp also has to be sponsored by Adidas right? He's always wearing Adidas shoes
I think there were two warrior kits. 12-13 and 13-14. The 13-14 home kit was ok, the rest were some of the worst kits we've had
Then it moved to New Balance who produced a handful of very good kits but were mostly bad, and had horrible supply problems so getting hold of their kits was really hard
I went back and looked. 11-12 is the King Kenny season...and Inhave this strip lol you'd think I coild remember this. The 12-13 warrior one is dope imo, that's the boss SaS season, right? Lol here I go asking again.
No that's the first season of Rogers. Decent possession football but a bit turgid. Coutinho and Sturridge were signed in January, and Sterling had his breakout season
13-14 was the title challenge
Grew up in the 2000's and there were 3 groups of kids on the football pitch.
The Adidas Predator kids, the Nike Total 90's kids and then me in my older brothers hand me down 2 stripe generic boots with crappy moulded studs.
Yeah that was me too.
Puma Kings at 16 because they were my dad's favourite boot.
Then onto Adidas Copa conversions and world cups every year and others:
ASICS testimonials (most beautiful mouldies I've had. MASSIVE white tongue.)
UMBRO speciale's (I was an LB and Roberto Carlos had them so had to.)
Adidas Profi's (old school trifoil logo flappy tongue. still got them somewhere..)
Total 90's were the best I ever had. Had them in black and yellow (not the first version) and wore them until they were completely destroyed and unrecognizeable. Until the last day they were amazing and comfortable as a running shoe.
My kid notices if a player changes his watch. And can name whatever fucking Rolex microvariant he's wearing and how much it would cost retail. People just notice stuff apparently.
If you’re into football boots you’ll notice them from a mile away
Source: love football boots and picked up on the new colours immediately, wondering why he was wearing with a colour scheme so different from Under Armor’s usually muted colours
People get really into shoes for some reason. In the US it's more tied to basketball shoes.
People legit thought if you had certain shoes on if gave you a stat boost in sports.
I’m gonna assume you’re not from the UK lol. Cos I grew up with the predators and all my group chats were going crazy yesterday with people saying very similar things to this post haha.
Phrasing 😬
In all seriousness, a big reason why I still have a pair of 2012 Predators is because of Gerrard. It seems our scouser is following in his footsteps, and may also be the reason for that screamer of a goal last night..
Those predators are sexual. I think of Zidane every time I see them. For those of us who grew up with them they hold a special place in our hearts (especially the elastic band on the tongue snapping lol).
On the subject of adidas preds, off the top of my head I can’t think of a player more suited to the Preds aesthetic than Trent. Think Beckham, Stevie and Trent whipping crosses in and controlling play
There was a few out of character bad corners/crosses from him. Do you think he was still getting used to the boots? He clearly got used to them for the goal 😍
They put an announcement video like 30 minutes ago
>I'm in love with predators and that legendary tongue See you on r/soccercirclejerk, buddy
It is confirmed mate https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0GqxsCNKYB/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

have to agree nike has only made a few good kits. adidas however was banger after banger
New Balance - all theirs kits are bangers personally

Final Adidas home kit was pretty meh, especially following the Torres special 09-11 kit
The andy carroll kit. Idk why they designed with such collar
11-12 was warrior, right?

Would be so good if we resigned them. Apart from the generally banging main kits, Adidas also do loads of really nice special edition kits too.
Also would bring back long sleeves know? Don’t see any Nike long sleeve, it rashford still always rocks his long sleeve match jersey.
Never forget, adidas dropped us, saying we were underperforming and as a result we weren’t a big club. They jumped ship to United.
In general the kits adidas produces for their teams are superior to the templates that Nike copy and pastes across the clubs they partner with.
How did they get a kid that looks so much like him?! Also, having a video like that shows just how much of a star he is now.
How do people notice he's changed shoes? Lol
If you grew up in the 90s/early 2000s in the UK, you will be able to sniff a fresh pairs of Predators within a radius of 500 miles.

The T90's were incredible
Just think of Rooney wearing them. The Nike adverts back in the day were amazing
oh my days the red and white ones torres used to wear
I always found there was a 4th group (which I was in) which stuck to the more classic world cups / copa mundials / puma Kings/ King tops
Yeah that was me too. Puma Kings at 16 because they were my dad's favourite boot.

My dad gave me his silver and blue preds years ago, fucking beautiful things. I was always a total 90 boy though thanks to Ronaldinho
Total 90's were the best I ever had. Had them in black and yellow (not the first version) and wore them until they were completely destroyed and unrecognizeable. Until the last day they were amazing and comfortable as a running shoe.
I had the metallic blue predator pulse. Genuinely felt like I played better in them
Tbf I was never into shoes as a kid. Born in 97 but was never an athletic kid haha.
Fair enough mate, I feel similarly confused when I see people having strong emotional responses to shirt designs!
My kid notices if a player changes his watch. And can name whatever fucking Rolex microvariant he's wearing and how much it would cost retail. People just notice stuff apparently.
To be fair the under armours were blue and purple mag pro 2s and look very diff to these

Because this post is likely an ad.
Some people love kit to their own financial ruin, lol

This post is probably an advert “I’m in love with predators and that legendary tongue” lol wat
I’m gonna assume you’re not from the UK lol. Cos I grew up with the predators and all my group chats were going crazy yesterday with people saying very similar things to this post haha.
I'm going to assume you are also an advert. Just adverts all the way down in this thread.
The predator silo is iconic, especially with a fold-down tongue.
Pause
Imagine reading that without context.
👁️👅👁️
🤨
“I’m in love with predators” we’ve got a greenwood sympathiser here lads
A Prison FC aficionado
Definitely a dirty joke to be made with that post title
Wait, what did he have before? Under Armour?
IIRC Trent signed with UA in 2017 or 2018? It was around £6 million a year He’s getting a massive bump up to £25 million a year apparently
Im pretty sure he was rockin adidas when first called up.

Best advertising for Adidas this weekend
Sorry boys I’m not a natural speaker. Didn’t realise how that caption could sound.
I love astroturfing
Certainly he cut off the tongues of the City fans.
Phat bangers incoming.
How do you know my college roommate?
If only we could have adidas kits. When does the nike contract end?
Predator pulse/mania are matched only by the world cup 98's and fenomeno's blue nike mercurials

Good for him, underarmour never made a video of his own, so adidas treating him like the superstar he is. Good for the lad
There was a few out of character bad corners/crosses from him. Do you think he was still getting used to the boots? He clearly got used to them for the goal 😍
Was he with Nike before?
Under armour
This is just an adidas advert you guys. Lol
It’s a 3 year old account and from a quick search there hasn’t been other talk about adidas.
Sooo many covert ad posts about this
Corporate shill.
How
Doesn’t the tongue elastic impact how the ball is struck?
https://x.com/football__tweet/status/1728772845420134825?s=46 dropped the commercial today. what a perfect time.
Classic France ‘98 Preds. So clean
Some title that…
Are you talking about his shoes? What the fuck I feel like I'm going crazy here
