1950-51 Home players shirt

Manufacturer: Umbro

Years worn: 1947-51

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

In a season 1947-48 the design home shirt has changed. Liverpool used home shirt four seasons, 1947-48 to 1950-51 (time of use shirt is probably inexact). Liverpool used home shirt how in more home, as and in more away matches.

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

My pages about history of Liverpool shirts in 50th years, most likely, contain mistakes in dating use of a shirt with a while turn-down collars. 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 season 1950-51, Liverpool used also home shirt with white lining on the button section on the collar. This shirt was made of lightweight cotton interlock fabric.

Left to right: 1st image, Front home player shirt with red turn-down collar with red lining on the button section on the collar (1st variant).. 2nd image, Front home player shirt with red turn-down collar with white lining on the button section on the collar (2nd variant).
Now difficult say, why Liverpool used in one season home shirts with different fabric and design collars. If it is logical to argue, home shirts from a dense fabric need to be used in cold weather, and home shirts from easier fabric, in matches, in usual weather. But in life all not so.

Interesting fact. Liverpool can used home shirtt with turn-down collar, but different thickness of a fabric, lightweight or heavyweight cotton interlock fabric.

Size player number of the players on a back at Bill Jones is less, than at the player of Burnley (right image). Can to me it seems, but design of pllayer numbers (2) on Liverpool home shirt (Bill Jones) and away shirts (Bill Jones) different. Photo with season 1951-52.
In Umbro catalogue (1957) offer sale players numbers 1-15 and size number is 9 inches (22,86 sm). How I can assume Liverpool used player number in 9 inches, if I mistake, write to me, on e-mail.

This socks on foots Liverpool players, sock have different size line.

Down we can to see matches list when used away kits was. In section A 1.0 / H 1.0 have teams how: Blackpool, Stoke City, Sunderland and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Why this team here, as how I not have photos or information with this match. In some seasons, Liverpool played in away matches with these teams in home kits.
