Thanks Panos – good call. Just seen the 09-10 kit (supposedly) pics that are knocking about online. Still no Liver Bird on there!

Thank you Rob – good to hear from you and glad you’re enjoying the site. I know changing the badge is not the only thing that needs to be looked at but I know many Liverpool fans agree with me that it would a really positive step in getting the glory days back to Anfield. Hope to see you back here soon. Cheers John

John, love the books, just found the website, and I’m in trouble, it’s already 1:10 in the morning, I’ll be up all night checking it out! This is what the internet was invented for, thanks Al Gore.
I’m a Liverpool fan of 35ish years, totally agree with your points on the badge; we also need to change back to the red goalnets, remember how great they looked in front of the Kop?
Great stuff, I’ll be back

Hello Phil – thanks for the comments. You’re dead right about the French shirt – the styling of the cockeral works really well and I think it just goes to highlight how incredibly strong the Liver Bird would look back on the Reds’ shirt. I’d LOVE to see that badge back.

Hey have a look at the current France national shirt,the cockeral is now very sleek looking and niceley embroided,is it now not time for Liverpool to do the same,and get rid of the boring mess they have on their shirts now.
Just a nice sleek and simple Liverbird with 2 flames either side and perhaps 5 stars around the neck a la Germany or even a european cup embroided on to it somewhere like AC Milan in the early 90’s?

Nice one Jimmy – do you know what, I’m almost embarrassed that I didn’t realise that, of course, the other flame must be for Heysel. Seems so long ago now – I remember the game very well. I don’t seem to remember the club actively promoting the fact that the flames were memorials for Hillsborough and Heysel – do you know if they did?

I think the two flames were for Hillsborough and Heysel. But yes, agree that a new(old) crest should be brought back. Spurs have done it well in my view. C’mon Liverpool, its time….

Spurs have gone back to a retro style crest this season which looks very neat. Just a simple cockerel with the words “Tottenham Hotspur” underneath. I reckon Liverpool should do something similar. Have the traditional Liverbird with “Liverpool Football Club” below. Put a small flame between the chest and foot of the bird. Have it in just red and white (or possibly gold)

The current crest should be dropped for a return of the old Liverbird which currently stands as a smaller version inside the current crest, this should be returned with L.F.C. underneath just like the old days when the club was the best in Europe. The two Hillsbrough eternal flames should be placed at the bottom of each sleeve just below the Premier League/Champions League badges.
