Author site "Historicalkits.co.uk" Dave Moor, has assumed, that shirts with a short sleeve, were used in good weather, and with a long sleeve, in cold. The logic in it is, but may be so business in other.   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 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.   Interesting fact. Have one paradoks, answer to which at me is not present. In last home match af Anfield, versus West Ham United (27.04.1957), Liverpool played in home shirt with white turn-down collar & Liverbird and long sleeves. What 27 April was cold weather or there were other reasons. Players W.H.U. in this match played in shirt with short sleeve and with V-neck collar (photo in left Alan Arnell).   Home shirt with turn-down collar, which also used Liverpool F.C. in cold weather I name how "Second home shirt". Why this shirt from my site have name "Second home shirt", only for classification of the kits.   More about second home shirt with white turn-down collar & Liverbird, read here.

 

  For all eight seasons, 1955-56 to 1962-63 this shirt (V-neck collar with Liverbird) course can made of different fabrics, on thickness and color. Also can to see what with season 1960-61 (right image) oval with embroidered Liverbird & L.F.C. was it is sewn some down what on Liverpool shirt (V-neck collar with Liverbird & L.F.C.) with seasons 1955-56 to 1959-60 (left image).

  With season 1955-56, manufacturer Umbro company start made new design football shirt with V-neck collar. Style football shirt with V-neck collar, made Umbro company, named "Continental" and made of new fabric, fabric name "Tangery". In Umbro catalogue for season 1957-58, write, what colors on home shirt which used Liverpool, name "Scarlet-White". Else interesting information, Liverpool can used home shirt with V-neck collar, but different thickness of a fabric, lightweight or heavyweight cotton interlock fabric.
