Liverpool FC's Warrior kit will be re-branded as New Balance from the start of the 2015/16 season.

The ECHO understands the decision has been taken by the American sports manufacturer largely to enable them to make further inroads into the Asian market where they have a heavy presence of New Balance stores.

Warrior is a subsidiary of New Balance so the change has no impact whatsoever on the terms of the lucrative six-year contract Liverpool signed with the US company prior to the start of the 2012/13 season.

The deal is worth a guaranteed £25million per year to the club.

Meanwhile, a mock-up of the 2015/16 have surfaced on Twitter, although it is not confirmed whether they will be the kits Liverpool run out to next season.

A digital image of Liverpool's new kits have been tweeted by user @FumlerRawk – and it has Reds fans discussing whether they are, indeed, the real deal.
