Excellent condition
Excellent condition for a 2012 shirt: deep red, spotless embroidered gold Liver Bird, clean Suárez No.7 nameset, UEFA patches and back sponsor perfectly applied. The only reserve is near-invisible light wear on the front Standard Chartered sponsor — you can judge it on the close-up (photo 3). No holes, no stains.

🛠️ Workshop note — This is not the domestic version: oval UEFA Europa League patch on one sleeve, RESPECT on the other, and the People's Postcode Trust back sponsor under the number. It is the European cup configuration, considerably less common than the Premier League version.
📖 2012-2013: the buttoned collar, Warrior and the start of the Rodgers era
This shirt marks a fresh start at Anfield. A new manager in Brendan Rodgers, a new kit supplier in Warrior, and a design that leans fully into retro: buttoned collar, tonal stripes, gold Liver Bird. Up front, a Uruguayan striker carrying the team on his own.
👕 2012 — Warrior replaces adidas. The deal, reported at the time as one of the biggest in English football, brought an American brand from lacrosse into Liverpool's history. Warrior only supplied the club for three seasons — which makes its shirts easy to identify and short in production.
⚽ Luis Suárez, the club's top scorer. The Uruguayan put together a high-level season across all competitions and established himself as Anfield's main man, one year before his record-breaking 2013-2014 campaign.
🌍 The European run. This shirt carries the Europa League patches: the configuration reserved for European nights, with the People's Postcode Trust charity back sponsor Liverpool wore outside the league.
🕯️ The 96 memorial. Under the collar, two eternal flames flanking the number 96 honour the victims of Hillsborough. A permanent marking on Liverpool shirts that every supporter knows.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Is the shirt 100% authentic?
Yes. Warrior Liverpool 2012-2013 authentication carried out in my workshop: original label with code WSTM200 (photo 4), embroidered gold Liver Bird, correct buttoned collar, official UEFA Europa League and RESPECT patches. Real photos of the exact item sold, lifetime authenticity guarantee.
What is the exact condition, and is there a flaw?
9.5/10. The only point to report is near-invisible light wear on the front Standard Chartered sponsor; the close-up (photo 3) lets you judge it. No holes, no stains, nameset and patches spotless.
How does this shirt fit in size L?
Flat measurements: 55 cm pit to pit, 73 cm in length. Warrior shirts fit fairly true to size. Measure a shirt you already wear and compare with these figures before ordering.
How does it differ from the Premier League version?
The domestic version carries Barclays Premier League sleeve patches and no back sponsor. This one carries the oval UEFA Europa League patch, the RESPECT patch and the People's Postcode Trust back sponsor: the European cup configuration.
What does the “96” on the back mean?
It is the Hillsborough memorial: two eternal flames flanking the number 96, honouring the victims of the 15 April 1989 disaster. It appears permanently under the collar of Liverpool shirts.
