Our Merch Sucks

By: CSD | January 29th, 2008

Everything appears to be quiet at Anfield, almost too quiet, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to say how much I think our gear sucks. There is a mint to be made in retail sales and we are missing out because all of our stuff is God awful. You know those 3rd kits? You can’t even find them anymore because they’re cool! I will confide something to you, and by you I mean the world, I am the proud owner of a Chelsea cap. I don’t even really like Chelsea, but it was such a cool cap compared to everything else that is put out by clubs that I had to grab it.


The great thing about that hat is you can wear it with anything and it goes. It doesn’t necessarily say, “I love Chelsea!” This is good, because I don’t.

Chelsea actually has some pretty cool stuff. I even like their away kit. This one though–not so subtle. Actually, taping road flares to your chest would be more subtle than wearing this shirt. The thing that makes it great is that it’s not just yellow; it’s a neon/highway safety yellow. Liverpool’s away kit last year was just regular yellow and it was horrible.

Chelsea isn’t the only club with cool gear. It pains me to have to admit that Manchester United have some pretty good stuff as well like the away kit for this season. Unfortunately, I can’t say that EVERYTHING that Man U is trying to sell would be worth the money.

If anyone connected to the Liverpool merchandise department happens to be reading this, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us something to buy that we would wear in public–other than to a game.

  Your photo manipulation skills are fantastic and this blog is awesome. Sorry I’m late on it but I’ll be reading it regularly from now on for sure.

  Texas? Oh well.

  Oh, no… a regular? That’s too much pressure.
  Thanks for the kind words.

  The collar on your home kit is just shocking. Third kit is nice tho.

  I think it’s just being subjected to it over time, but I am starting to like the away jerseys…I know, I know, they’re crap. Sometimes I feel like the same people who are charge of making NFL team hats run Liverpool’s merchandising department…when we start seeing hats with rubber bills on the sidelines, we’re in trouble! Come on you Reds!

  Now, the away ones don’t look half bad this season. They’re white with the Carlsberg logo in green with red trim.

  I’m amazed that you can give props so publicly to the gear of your hated rivals. I see Gers gear and I immediately and forcefully projectile vomit. Or I starts a brawl.

  Maybe I’m not crazy then; I was initially so put off by the red up by the collar bone though…But my opinion is now tainted by my growing man-crush on Fernando Torres

  your joking right? a chelsea hat? did you put it on as a joke and then have it suck your brain right out?

  even though you have horrible taste in headwear, your doing a better job than the last guy! cheers.
