LIVERPOOL GO DARK WITH NEW AWAY KIT FOR 2024-25 SEASON
 |
| Liverpool's new away kit is a dark shade of green called 'Night Forest'. Liverpool FC |
Liverpool have released their new away kit for the 2024-25 season which gives the club a much darker, moodier and more pared-down look than usual.
In recent seasons, the Reds have taken inspiration from kits worn in past glories, the wrought iron of Anfield's Shankly Gates or even the Liverpool nightclub scene.
This time they have gone for something incredibly basic. There are no graphics or patterns, no flashy designs or even much in the way of bright colours.
The jersey looks almost black, although look closely and you will see that it is in fact a (very) dark green base which the club and manufacturer Nike call "Night Forest."
There are, however, a few flashes of brightness courtesy of the simple light "washed teal" accents around the collar and cuffs and a dash of white on the flanks.
It's undeniably slick, but it took easily be mistaken for a shirt worn by the players on the training ground rather than in an actual match. Perhaps Liverpool are have saved all of their creative energy for a big swing with their third alternate kit, which is yet to be released.
It might have been nice to see the same angular pinstripe design used on the 2024-25 home jersey applied to the away shirt too -- perhaps in a lighter, complimentary grey tone or even more teal, which has been regularly used by the club on their kits since the early 1990s.
The Reds will wear their new alternate kit for the first time on Saturday when they face Manchester United in a preseason at the Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina. They will then pack up and head home as they continue their Premier League preparations on home soil.

JA MORANT LAWSUIT PROVIDES GLIMPSE INTO HIS YOUTH, FAMILY AND CONTENTIOUS PICKUP GAME

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A pickup basketball game at Ja Morant's parents' home near Memphis two summers ago quickly turned a day of fun, food, family and friends into chaos.
Under the hot July sun, the trash-talking escalated between the Memphis Grizzlies star and a local high school player who was friends with Morant's sister and had been guarding him that day, according to witnesses.
During a check-ball sequence to start a game, Joshua Holloway hurled a hard pass from in close that hit Morant in the face, leading Morant to punch the 17-year-old in the chin. Morant's childhood friend Davonte Pack then punched him again, knocking him to the ground, witnesses said. As Holloway was being escorted away, he said he was going to “light up” the place like “fireworks,” according to people who were there.
On Wednesday, lawyers for Morant, 24, and Holloway, now 18, will return to court for a pretrial hearing in a lawsuit the teen filed against the mercurial player. Morant, who was not charged in the Holloway incident, is set to return Tuesday from a 25-game suspension that was levied against him last summer after he flashed a gun in two livestreamed videos. Pack, who was charged with misdemeanor assault before the charge was dropped, is also a defendant in the lawsuit, which seeks damages.
