The unveiling of the Liverpool third kit this week was meet with a tsunami of social media disgust. The new green and black kit has not proven popular with fans. John on Twitter stated:

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

Paul responded:

Liverpool’s third kit? Childhood ruined!

Ringo, reacting on Facebook to the kit tag-line “Liverpool players must play like a lion” stated:

A lion? A single lion? Not a team of lions? Just one lion made up of people wearing electric green? That’s typical Fenway not willing to spend as usual. Season over!

At the unveiling, this reporter asked Daniel Sturridge what he thought of the kit. His strained, whispered reply was:

Be quiet! I think it’s listening!

Before passing me a note which said:

Help me! I can’t take it off!

A number of fans present were cautioned by security not to look directly at the kit or to feed it.

Jurgen Klopp could be overheard in the background saying:

If I make the lads wear that, everyone will think they’re in goal. I won’t have a player left on the pitch for all the handling of balls!

However, always one to look on the bright side, Klopp could also be overheard saying:

At least it’s not as mental as Norwich’s! BOOM!
