In this home shirt Liverpool first played in ...

In a season 1934-35 the design home shirt has changed. Liverpool used home shirt eight seasons, 1934-35 to 1939-40, 1947-48 & 1947-49 (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 * - Home shirt with home shorts & socks

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

My pages about history of Liverpool shirts in 30th years, most likely, contain mistakes in dating use of a home 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.

With season 1934-35 change design home shirt, was used red turn-down collar with two white buttons. May be with season 1939-40, on autumn-spring variant home shirt, collar to have again of white lining inside the turn-down collar and with one with button.

In a season 1936-37 the design away shirt has changed. Liverpool used away shirt seventeen seasons, 1936-37 to 1952-53 (time of use away shirt is probably inexact). In season 1936-37, Liverpool used with away shirt different kits:

Photo with site (www.the-saleroom.com) in left side page I to find some time ago, but not used as how was written text "Liverpool Shirt - white with red collar - probably an away issue 1950s". Colar this away shirt differs from issue away shirt 1950s, how and long cuffs. This white course of can used other club or clubs in UK 30s - 40s, only on this moment you can to see which shirt can played Liverpool.

I think for all 22nd season when Liverpool used this design away shirt, this away shirt made with some changes (on a collar, cuffs and thickness of a fabric), how and on manufacturer.

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 1937-38 the design third shirt has changed. Liverpool used third shirt one season, 1937-38 (time of use away 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. on my site.

New information I to have from twitter @ChetLFC, 8 Oct 2024.

L'POOL AND PALACE HAVE NEW CUP COLOURS
REFEREE ORDERS CHANGE: REDS IN "HOOPED" JERSEYS
LIVERPOOL and Crystal Palace will both change their colours for the F.A. Cup-tie at Selhurst Park on Jan. 8. by order of the referee.

The Palace usually play in red and blue striped jerseys and Liverpool in the familiar red. Both clubs submitted jerseys to the referee Mr. S. Hadley (Leicestershire) - and he decided change was necessary.
In consequence Liverpool will wear red and white hooped jerseys with white knickers and Crystal Palace will wear white jerseys and black knickers.
Both clubs have been viven permission to play in the new colours on saturday in order to give the players a chance to become used to them.
Evening Express Thursday, december 30, 1937

In 2017 year I to find akticle which you can also read down, in spring 2020 in twitter.com/LFChistory was find photos, which we can to see Liverpool player in shirt, red-white "hoops"

Liverpool in red and white hoopes

Liverpool also change their colours for the tie against Crystal Palace, and as they play in red and white hooped jerseys, I hope it will be a case of (w)hoop we go again sorry! Well, I hope their followers, like those of Everton, will be able to make whoopee to-morrow night. The Palace have a home record almost like that of Chelsea: Played 9, won 6, lost 1, drawn 2, goals for 22, against 10.

If Liverpool reproduce some of their away form then I think they will beat the Palace. League form does not count for anything where cup-ties are concerned, and as I have said luck means much.

I shall not be surprised to find Everton out and Liverpool in when the games are decided, but I am not going to pose as a prophet, as I have yet to win the penny points pool. Still, here’s hoping for, the best for both Everton and Liverpool – and the Pool!

Liverpool were called the crazy gang recently. In their red and white hooped jerseys and stockings they looked against Chelsea more like members of the “Chain Gang.” And played like them in the first half. But what a grand rally they made! There’s always hope for Liverpool when they fight back as they did in the second half last Saturday.

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.
