Liverpool 1995/96: The White and Teal Away Shirt
Liverpool finished third in the Premier League and reached the FA Cup final in 1995/96. This is the away kit from that season — white with teal green Adidas trim, Carlsberg across the chest.
The Kit
White base, teal trim on the collar and sleeves, three Adidas stripes across the shoulders. Carlsberg on the chest. It's a clean design that sits apart from the more garish away kits of the same era — no abstract print, no strange colour gradients.
Liverpool wore it across the Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup throughout the 1995/96 campaign.
The 1995/96 Season
Liverpool finished third in the Premier League and reached the FA Cup final, where they lost to Manchester United. Robbie Fowler was at his peak scoring form that season. Steve McManaman ran the right side. Jamie Redknapp anchored midfield.
Roy Evans' side was good enough to compete, not quite good enough to win. But the football was worth watching.
Why It Holds Up
Kit design in the mid-90s could go badly wrong — and often did. This one didn't. The teal and white combination aged better than most of its contemporaries, and the players who wore it are well remembered.
It's a shirt from a specific moment in Liverpool's history. That's usually enough.
