The purple third kit, which made its debut in Europe vs. LASK, will be worn by Liverpool for the first time on Thursday night, the club has announced.
This week, the Reds take a flight to Austria to begin their Europa League campaign against LASK, a team they have never faced before.
It is only natural that Liverpool debut their brand-new purple third jersey in a match that will be its first.
The team has confirmed that they will wear the Nike uniform in the midweek game, which is probably one of the few times they will do so this season.
The home kit was worn more frequently on the road last season, with Liverpool only sporting their green third jersey against Ajax, Aston Villa, Brentford, and Southampton.
A third uniform is normally only worn when the home and away kits conflict; in this case, the white-and-green away jersey is inappropriate because LASK play with white at home.
Clubs are also limited to a certain amount of appearances in any uniform, with a match at the Raiffeisen Arena regarded as the ideal occasion to introduce the purple shirt, shorts, and socks.
In August, Alisson and Dominik Szoboszlai attended a BOSS Night fan event at the Olympia in the city, when the third kit was debuted.
Alisson played Allez, Allez, Allez for the crowd on his guitar before the other two musicians joined in for You’ll Never Walk Alone.
