1923-24 Home players shirt

Manufacturer:

Years worn: 1919-34

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

In a season 1919-20 the design home shirt has changed. Liverpool used home shirt fifteen seasons, 1919-20 to 1930-34 (time of use home shirt is probably inexact). Liverpool used home shirt how in all home, as and in more away matches.

H 1.0 - Home shirt with home shorts & home socks.
H 1. 0 * - Unknown me now which kits used in this matches, but I assume used home shirt with home shorts & home socks.

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

Left black-white photo (with site lfchistory.net). Right color card (with site cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.com). If to see all sigarette card with clubs this seria. Difficult understand, real color socks on card or not if back Liverpool card, Then you will see that Jock McNab is not colored. Which was on Liverpool players socks, red or black, I not know.
Course on this cards can was mistakes in display Liverpool kits.

This fragment card for magazine “BOYS’ MAGAZINE”, if to see on original photo (top left), you can to see they different. In back row, second player (John Lillie) in right in shirt, but in original photo in jacket. Some time on old photos or image can to find surprize.

There was little change to the home strip during this period the only difference being the addition of white lining inside the laced collar of the red home shirt.

Archie Rawlings and Danny Shone on card which printed in 1925 (with site vintagefootballers.com). Difficult say, was stripes on socks in original photo. Or color socks annd stripes this the liberty of the artist.

Fragment sketch with FA Cup match vs Southampton.(23.02.1924), how you know in away matches versus teams with red-white stripes shirt, Liverpool used alternastive shirt. In 20s years was not as. Need to use any form of information.

Lace collar used in seasons 1909-19.

Lace collar used in seasons 1919-34, of white lining inside the laced collar.

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. Besides, most likely (proofs are not present), Liverpool used shirts made by firm "Bukta", dominating at that time.

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

I think for all 15th seasons when Liverpool used this design home shirt, this home shirt made with some echanges (on a collar and thickness of a fabric).

1923-24 Third player shirt long sleeve - not now good image

1923-24 Third players shirt

Manufacturer:

Years worn: 1923-24

In this design third shirt Liverpool first played in away Division One match versus Burnley, 0-2, 22.09.1923, at Turf Moor.

My pages about history of Liverpool shirts in 20th years, most likely, contain mistakes in dating use of a away kits. Why it is difficult, not so it is a lot of photos (at me) these years and very little where there is a date when the photo is made. It concerns also a photo of a Liverpool team.

In a season 1923-24 the design third shirt has changed. Liverpool used third shirt one seasons, 1923-24 (time of use third shirt is probably inexact).

T 1.0 - Third shirt with home shorts & home socks.

Why on my site you can read "Third player shirt", only for classification of the kits. This shirts cardinally different in design with"Away player shirt".

In spring 2020 I to find on site (historicalkits.co.uk) next message.

The Liverpool Echo (22 September 1923) reported that Liverpool wore white shirts with Cambridge Blue sleeves at Burnley. The following season they reverted to plain white jerseys with red trimmings when required to change.

I think this kit used only one match, versus Burnley. Second, this kit, is away Burney kit. How I think Liverpool to visit in Burnley with red shirt, but referee banned playing in this color of shirts. This only my assume.
I also have a question about the color of socks.

Photo with away Division One match versus Arsenal, at Highbury (01.03.1924). Liverpool players: Elisha Scott, may be Tommy Lucas, John McNab. (Image with site playupliverpool.com) Now you can to see, Liverpool played in the usual away kit. This know only one, what in Burnley, Liverpool to arrived with a red shirt.

Players, and later clubs, generally bought their playing kit from local sports outfitters. The kits were often locally made by the outfitters or small garment manufacturers. Bukta, founded in 1879, were the first mass manufacturer of football kits, and remained so until Humphrey Brothers Clothing were formed in 1920 in Wilmslow, Cheshire. In 1924 they became Umbro. Although these two Companies came to dominate the market they relied upon distributors and the local sports outfitters rather than supplying clubs direct.

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

My pages about history of Liverpool shirts in 20th years, most likely, contain mistakes in dating use of a away kits. Why it is difficult, not so it is a lot of photos (at me) these years and very little where there is a date when the photo is made. It concerns also a photo of a Liverpool team.

In a season 1922-23 the design away shirt has changed. Liverpool used away shirt fourteen seasons, 1922-23 to 1935-36 (time of use away shirt is probably inexact).

Big question, color socks which played Liverpool inseason 1923-24, David Moors (historicalkits.co.uk) think what Liverpool played in red socks, I think may be color socks was other, may be black. I else not to see in newspaper or Liverpool programmes about this information. If know what any, write to me, I will glad any information.

A 1.0 - Away shirt with home shorts & home socks.
A 1. * - Unknown me now which kits used in this matches, but I assume used away shirt.
* 1. * - Unknown me now which kits used in this matches, caan used how home shirt, as and away shirt.

Lace collar used in season 1928-29.

I think for all 14th season when Liverpool used this design away shirt, this away shirt made with some echanges (on a collar and thickness of a fabric).

May be socks which used Liverpool was black color, I as assume. in 20s years have some color cards when on Liverpool players socks was are painted in black color, course in life all can was different (to see in below). Course of may be I mistake and and the artist drew without knowing objective information, not only about Liverpool.

Now I have photo with away match Arsenal-Liverpool (02.09.1922, photo in top left page, may be Donald McKinlay A 1.0).
Left image, fragment of "Gallaher's Cigarettes Footballers" (1927) card with away Arsenal-Liverpool (18.09.1926) Liverpool used away shirt with home shorts and red socks.
Right image, fragment of "Gallaher's Cigarettes Footballers" (1928) card with away Aston Villa-Liverpool (07.01.1928), on photo Donald McKinlay and Tommy Lucas, Liverpool used away shirt with home shorts and black socks. Used this away kits in away match versus Aston Villa and Arsenal in season 1922-23, I now not know.
Also on this moment not know which shirts was used in away matches season 1922-23 versus Sunderland, Burnley, Sheffield United and Stoke City. Page will update if will new information. Course on this cards can was mistakes in display Liverpool players (kits).

Years worn: with ?, 1923-24 to ?

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 ? the design home goalkeeper shirt has changed. Liverpool used home goalkeeper shirt ? season, ? (time of use goalkeeper shirt is probably inexact). Liverpool used home goalkeeper shirt how in home, as and in away matches.

In season 1923-24, in home and away matches Liverpool can used with home goalkeeper shirt & away shorts (black, navy or gray).

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

Of course in 20-30-40-50s years goalkeepers played not in goalkeeper shirt, they played in woolen a sweater. Sweaters was different colors, but main was green.

If Liverpool field players to go in pitch with season 1939-40 in shirts with player numbers, Liverpool goalkeepers played in this season how and late in goalkeeper shirts without player number. Only with season 1974-75, on Liverpool goalkeeper shirt can to see player number.

Now not can write, than differs sweater season 1922-23, from sweater season 1931-32 and sweater season 1939-40 (photos below). Course this sweater s can made different manufacturer, Bukta, Umbro or others.

On Liverpool team pre season photo 1926-27, we to see what three Liverpool goalkeepers, how I to see in differents goalkeeper shirts (sweaters). May be I mistake. 1 - James Trill, 2 -Arthur Riley, 3 - Elisha Scott. Right photo, this color photo was made Liverpool FC for video about history kits, before 125th anniversary club. If to see have small detail, James Trill in (3) in red goalkeeper shirt (sweater), but this mistake artist.

Left to right: 1st image, sweater season 1922-23. 2nd image, sweater season 1931-32 (fragment colourisation image with site George Chilvers (flickr.com/photos/63589068@N04/with/8575304559). 3rd image, sweater season 1939-40.
Interesting photo (1st image), if to see full photo, on photo Kenneth Campbell, card was printed in 1923, but not know when was made photo. I think when Campbell played for Liverpool (1911 - 1920). May be full photo I will used after on my site.

This image training and goalkeepers' sweaters of catalog company Umbro for 1935. Sweaters different not only colors, but:
1. Quality - Hardwearing, First League, Super, International
2. Knit - Ribbed, Plain Naval, Elastic, Scout Elastic
3. Collars - Roll
4. Wool - Long stapled all wool, All wool.

My be why will interesting know, but jarse Liverpool players used in training. Here photo made how written, after celebrate Liverpool their win League title in 1923.

Photo with away Division One match versus Arsenal, at Highbury (01.03.1924). You to see this photo in section about third shirt. But in my each season rewiev about Liverpool goalkeeper kit in 20s 30s years, you can again read, what Liverpool goalkeepers, here Elisha Scott played in dark shorts (black, navy or gray), when Liverpool field players. This practice only existed with the goalkeepers of Liverpool or with the goalkeepers of other teams, I have no answer. Since you need to have more complete information.
