The third strip is, in the words of Liverpool, 'a deep violet shade'. On its official release in June, the club said in an official news release: "The New Balance design comes in a deep violet shade, which last featured on the team’s third strip for 2012-13, and provides a striking alternative to the traditional home kit." But some supporters - and former Sky Sports pundit Richard Keys - believe it's actually blue, the colour of fierce rivals Everton. Keys tweeted: "You’ll tell me it’s purple - but this is too near blue for Liverpool to be playing in. I know it’s how it all started - but this looks odd."
