Size: 37cm x 41cm x 8cm Liverpool FC Curator, Stephen Done “The original shirts would have been made of very heavy cotton and looked and felt like a classic rugby shirt. They had no names or numbers on the back, and there was no club badge, as was typical of the period. In researching this new replica for 2017, a decision was made to opt for a lighter weight cotton to suit modern tastes, but the museum curator undertook careful analysis of the surviving photographic evidence to ensure the blue and white halves are correctly replicated and the decision was made to add the club letterhead taken from a letter dated 1892, to provide a Liverpool FC crest. Although not strictly accurate to the actual playing shirts of the time, it represents what ‘might have been’ and in a style completely in keeping the period. This shirt is a superb tribute to a side that won the Lancashire League and the Liverpool Senior Cup (in a final against Everton FC, played at the ground of Bootle FC in the first-ever Merseyside Derby), as well as the Lancashire Reserve League”
