Why Liverpool’s kit features a vertical Nike swoosh
Liverpool’s third shirt is part of Nike’s ‘Together We Rise’ collection, which features a vertical double Nike swoosh to signify the rise of women’s football.
The design also features on the mens and womens teams of Tottenham and Chelsea, who also have Nike as their kit supplier.
Nike’s iconic ‘swoosh’ logo signifies the wings of Greek goddess Nike, who symbolises victory.
Therefore doubling the swoosh, with the second places inside the original, represents the ever-increasing growth of the women’s game.

A Nike statement after the release said: “‘Together We Rise’ incorporates each club’s distinct identity, story and community while celebrating the ascendency of the women’s game.
“Designed in close partnership with clubs throughout Europe and Latin America, the all-gender collection reflects Nike’s belief that women and girls are on the leading edge of change, redefining the parameters of sport and how it serves the next generation.”
Alongside the double swoosh, Liverpool’s third kit is said to pay homage to the female punk artists in the city who pioneered a new sound.
Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson was one of the Reds stars to model the new kit and
He said: “I really like it; I like the colour and the detail on the shirt, especially with the Swoosh going up, which is a bit different. It’s signifying the rise of the women’s game and we’re a big part of it to try to help that.”
