English football clubs kit unveilings (July 2026)

Entities: Robbie Fowler · Andoni Iraola · Liverpool FC · Rio Ngumoja · Rio Ngumoha

Overview

In early July 2026 York City released its home kit for the 2026‑27 season. Later that month Liverpool unveiled its 2026‑27 away kit after a weather‑forced diversion left the squad stranded in Chicago; the presentation was staged at Skylight at The Refinery in Brooklyn, with club legends Robbie Fowler and Ian Rush modelling the white shirt with red‑grey accents that incorporates Adidas’ CLIMACOOL+ moisture‑control technology and marks the first‑year anniversary of Liverpool’s £600 million partnership with Adidas.

The next day the Reds travelled to Yankee Stadium for a pre‑season friendly against Wrexham. Rio Ngumoha, introduced as a right‑winger, scored a 75th‑minute deflected winner to give Liverpool a 1‑0 victory before a crowd of 42,204. The match was streamed on multiple U.S. platforms and shown in the UK on LFCTV. Liverpool’s front office also signalled a prospective £100 million‑plus bid for PSG winger Bradley Barcola, linking the youngster’s profile to Ngumoha’s debut role.
