ABOUT THE KIT 1955/59   The home shirt changed to a single buttoned white stand collar, with red cuffs in time for the 1955-56 season, a kit which would be used for at least three seasons.   It was also around this period, possibly the following season that the first Liverpool V-neck strip was introduced. The red shirt, less baggy than its previous incarnation, incorporated white cuffs and collar, with short sleeves becoming the norm. The shorts remained white with red trim, with the socks remaining unchanged from the previous post-War years.   A new away kit was also brought in, which was again a white shirt, black shorts (although when clashed, the home white shorts were used) and white socks. A red trim was prominent on the shirt collar and cuffs.

On the away shirt it was the same design but with the colours reversed.   It is difficult to pinpoint just when the new badge first appeared on the shirt although it's believed by most LFC historians that it was in November 1955. Worn on the away shirt in a 4-2 defeat to Leeds at Elland Road and then on the home shirt during an emphatic 7-0 victory over Fulham at Anfield the following week.   Full article read here.   © Copyright of Official Site Liverpool F.C.

The logic in it is, but may be so business in other.   Else what you know, home shirt with turn-down collar and long sleeves also made from different fabrics on thickness.   My pages about history of Liverpool shirts in 50s years, most likely, contain mistakes in dating use of a shirt with a while turn-down collar or with V-neck collar. 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.   Home shirt with turn-down collar, which also used Liverpool F.C. in cold weather I name how "Second home shirt".
