Liverpool might have ended up with a bizarre bruised banana-style kit before Arsenal

Remember Arsenal's 'bruised banana' kit from the 90s?

It's one of the more divisive kits from the last few decades of English football, with some fans nostalgic for the early-90s design and others preferring you'd just never mention it and pretend it never existed. If you don't remember it, or if you just want another look, here it is being modelled by Paul Merson.

But before Arsenal donned the strange design, another club might have somehow found a way to make it worse. Liverpool were sponsored by Candy during the same period and, like Arsenal, had adidas as their kit manufacturer. Which led to this kit which never made it onto a professional football pitch - keeping the bruised aesthetic but with a different colour scheme. And, if we're being honest, if you were given a banana this colour you'd be very worried indeed. https://twitter.com/brn442/status/829368361121411072 Based on the style of the adidas logo, it seems this kit was not floated for the 1991/92 season, when the club had its famous green 'Candy' kit. Instead, it may well have been an alternative to whatever this is.
