Welcome to Kit Watch. This is just a quick intro as to what exactly Kit Watch is before i get stuck into it, i promise it won’t be long. Kit Watch is a new, weekly thing I’m doing where i bring to you a sensational or horrible kit every week. Every Monday, you’ll see a new post here with a new kit, where i either glorify the shirt, or tear it apart. But as always, these things are sometimes a matter of opinion, so feel free to add yours in the comments. Now enough rambling, read on for the first Kit Watch post!

Okay, now if you thought Liverpool FC‘s third kit last season was horrid, then this year’s apparent version will melt your eyes. It’s not 100 per cent official, but it’s been floating around on the internet for a while. And after an apparent leak from the Warrior Sports website, many have taken this to be pretty legit. Look at it, it’s black, purple, and white, with gold lettering. Like who puts this together? Seriously i want to know who exactly is responsible for this. I mean is there anything positive anyone can say about it? It’s just an awkward, uncomfortable mashup of shapes and colours. There. That’s it. That’s the best description of this shirt you’ll find anywhere. And how about the way it’s split with different colours on different sides. And those random stripes in the lower part of the shirt. If you tilt your head slightly to the right, you’ll see one of the enemies from Space Invaders on the purple side. Try it, i’m not even joking. I wish i were though, putting Space Invaders in the same boat as a Liverpool jersey is probably something that should never happen. That’s it, I’m done. I physically can’t look at this shirt anymore. What do you guys think? Did it burn your eyes too? Let me know in the comments, you know, if you want. If you see an awesome/ugly kit, send it to me via email (gearupgameon@hotmail.com) or tweet me @GearupGameon. You’re suggestions will eventually be the key to this going on.

If you want to read a previous post on Liverpool’s more respectable 2014 home kit, you can find it here.
