1913-14 Home players shirt

Manufacturer:

Years worn: 1909-19

In this design home shirt Liverpool first played in ...

In general difficultly in detail to write about these years Liverpool, but I shall return to this stage of their history and I shall write more in detail. May be all not as, how I has written.

In a season 1909-19 the design home shirt has changed. Liverpool used home shirt ten seasons, 1909-10 to 1918-19 (time of use home shirt is probably inexact). Liverpool used home shirt how in home, as and in more away matches. In season 1913-14, Liverpool may be used with home shirt different kits:
Home shorts and home socks
Home shorts and away socks
Away shorts and home socks
Away shorts and away socks

H 1.0 - Home shirt with home shorts & home or away socks (which I assume now).
H 1.1 - Home shirt with home shorts & home socks.

* * - Unknown me now which kits used in this matches.

Used Liverpool with sesson 1911-12 to 1919-20 white shirts, I not know. On this moment I not have not one photos, if you have information, write to me.

In season 1913-14, Liverpool used home shirt without special embroidery, this was in neutral match FA Cup Final , 25.04.1914.

In 1891 the Football League required member clubs to register their colours for the first time and no two teams were allowed to wear similar shirts. The following year, when the Second Division was formed this rule was relaxed but home teams were now required to have a spare set of white shirts, which could be used if colours clashed. (historicalkits.co.uk, David Moor)

I think what in life all was other. Now I have some photos (below 1st image) with in away match Division One versus Aston Villa (06.12.1913), Liverpool played in away shirt.
Else one, in neutral matches FA Cup Semi-Final versus Aston Villa (28.03.1914) and FA Cup Final versus Burnley (25.04.1914), Liverpool, how Aston Villa and Burnley played in home shirt.
Have also other photo (below 2nd image) with in away match Division One versus Middlesbrough (18.04.1914 or 20.03.1915), Liverpool played in away shirt. Which shirt home or away Liverpool played in season 1913-14, in matches versus Arsenal Woolwich, Bristol City, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest I not know now. May be rules Football League also not worker in matches with this team. Step by step we know more of history Liverpool FC and will small white holes.

1st image, Aston Villa gave Campbell, the Liverpool custodian, plenty to do on Saturday.

2nd image, In addition, the LFC player (in striped shirt) is Sam Speakman. The Middlesbrough player is Walter Tinsley.

Lace collar used in seasons 1909-19.

Left image, lace collar used in season 1909-10. .Right image, this of course not Liverpool shirt, this rare Arsenal shirt with FA Cup Final 1927 (I without Arsenal emblem with shirt). Why to do this shirt, simple what you know as the shirt of those times really looks.

Lace collar used in seasons 1919-31, of white lining inside the laced collar.

This pre-seson Liverpool photo, you can see how players tie the laces on the collar. To make you understand the 10th year in the 20th century, as later, players wore uniforms until they were torn. Interesting about kits written Harry Redknapp in book "A Man Walks On To a Pitch". read an excerpt from the book here.

In FA Cup Final match some Liverpool players was in socks with white stripe in top. 1- Jimmy Nicholl (photo before FA Cup Final). Ephraim Longworth (FA Cup Final),. 3- Arthur Metcalf and Ephraim Longworth (FA Cup Final).
. The main color of the Liverpool socks I think was black. David Moor (historicalkits.co.uk) think what Liverpool socks was red. David has his own special technology for detecting color from old black-white photos

1913-14 Away players shirt

In this away shirt Liverpool (first team defence) first may be played in home Friendly match versus Stripes (first team attack), ?-?, 23.08.1911, at Anfield.

In general difficultly in detail to write about these years Liverpool, but I shall return to this stage of their history and I shall write more in detail. May be all not as, how I has written.

In a season 1911-12 the design away shirt has changed. Liverpool used away shirt nine-? seasons, with 1911-12 to 1919-20 (time of use away shirt is probably inexact). In season 1913-14, Liverpool may be used with away shirt different kits:
Away shorts and home socks (red or black)
Home shorts and home socks (red or black)

A 1.0 - Away shirt (red-white) with home shorts & away socks (blue or black) home socks (red or black).

* 1- * - Unknown me now which kits used in this matches.

Used Liverpool with season 1911-12 to 1919-20 white shirts, I not know. On this moment I not have not one photos, if you have information, write to me.

(historicalkits.co.uk, David Moor)

David Moor think what stripes was red-white, as how his have information from newspaper.
The Liverpool Echo (8 November 1913) describes "paralysed pink costumes" against Burnley, possibly a reference to the worn out, faded state of the shirts.

I think what in life all was other. May be I big mistakes. Now I have some photos (below 1st image) with in away match Division One versus Aston Villa (06.12.1913), Liverpool played in away shirt. Else one in neutral matches FA Cup Semi-Final versus Aston Villa (28.03.1914) and FA Cup Final versus Burnley (25.04.1914), Liverpool, how Aston Villa and Burnley played in home shirt.

Liverpool in black and white stripes can’t avoid defeat

When the teams turned out Burnley were wearing blue and white striped jerseys, but owing to the similarity with those worn by the Liverpool team, whose jersey, instead of being red, were black and white stripes, Burnley returned to the dressing-room and donned their familiar colours.

In this home goalkeeper shirt Liverpool first played in ...

In general difficultly in detail to write about these years Liverpool, but I shall return to this stage of their history and I shall write more in detail. May be all not as, how I has written.

In a season 1909-10 the design home goalkeeper shirt has changed. Liverpool used home goalkeeper shirt twenty two seasons, 1909-10 to 1930-31 (time of use goalkeeper shirt is probably inexact). Liverpool used home goalkeeper shirt how in home, as and in away matches. In season 1913-14, Liverpool may be used with home goalkeeper shirt different kits:
Home shorts and home socks
Home shorts and away socks
Away shorts and home socks
Away shorts and away socks

H G 1.0 - Home goalkeeper shirt with home shorts & home socks.

H G 1.2 - Home goalkeeper shirt (without special embroidery FA Cup Final) with home shorts & home socks.

I have some photos Liverpool goalkeepers with season 1913-14. only For classification of the kits on my site goalkeeper shirt (sweater) will name how home, away or third. How you understand in 1910s years not was the concept of how goalkeeper shirt (sweater). I think was goalkeeper sweater and alternative goalkeeper sweater. May be I mistake. About colour sweater, it's hard for me to tell from a black-white photo what color the sweater is.
I also use information with sites historicalkits.co.uk and unitedkits.com.

Goalkeepers were also now allowed to wear different shirts than the
outfield players (a choice of scarlet red, royal blue or white in
1909-10, with green a further option three seasons later). (Peter Crilly"Tops of The Kops")

In 1891 the Football League required member clubs to register their colours for the first time and no two teams were allowed to wear similar shirts. The following year, when the Second Division was formed this rule was relaxed but home teams were now required to have a spare set of white shirts, which could be used if colours clashed. (David Moor, historicalkits.co.uk)

There were no specially produced tops for 'keepers who normally wore heavy woollen sweaters, often teamed with flat caps to keep the sun out of their eyes. How write David Moor (historicalkits.co.uk), in Englad, goalkeepers basically used goalkeepers shirt in green color, in Scotland, yellow color.

On pre-season photo we to see Elisha Scott and Ken Campbell in goalkeeper sweater, Scott may be in green goalkeeper sweater, Ken Campbell may be in white goalkeeper sweater, but this is not accurate. Write what you think to me.
May be was used dark green and low green (worn out, faded state) sweater.
