New Balance - Liverpool FC 2016/17 Home Football Shirt 'FIRMINO'

This is the New Balance – Liverpool FC 2016/17 home football shirt, shown here with Firmino 11 on the back and Emirates FA Cup sleeve patches. It features Liverpool’s classic all-red base, gold Standard Chartered sponsor, gold New Balance branding, and the modern L.F.C. liver bird crest in gold on the chest. One of the nicest details is the small “96” memorial mark placed below the back of the collar, a tribute that gives the shirt added emotional weight beyond the matchwear side of it.

What makes this shirt stand out is how clean and controlled it is. At first glance it looks like a simple Liverpool home shirt, but the design has more depth than that. The tonal horizontal body striping and mesh-style texturing across the chest and torso give it movement without breaking the all-red identity. The gold detailing is especially important here, because it lifts the shirt and gives it a more premium feel. On the back, the Firmino 11 print suits the shirt perfectly. Roberto Firmino was one of the defining players of Liverpool’s transition into the Klopp era, so his nameset immediately adds relevance and collector appeal.

This shirt is tied to Liverpool’s 2016/17 season, which was an important early campaign under Jürgen Klopp. It was a period where the team was building its identity around players such as Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mané, Philippe Coutinho, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Adam Lallana, Emre Can, Joël Matip, and Dejan Lovren. Firmino, in particular, became one of the key faces of Klopp’s system because of how he linked the attack together and set the tone off the ball. That gives this shirt a lot of value in hindsight. It comes from the beginning of a major era, and the Firmino 11 print makes it feel even more representative of that moment in Liverpool’s modern history.
