Gifting a Red: Gift Ideas for Male Liverpool FC Fans

Do you have family or a close friend who loves red, swears by the liver bird, tells Bill Shankly stories, dreams of visiting Anfield, and cries when they recall the day Jürgen Klopp resigned? That’s the mark of a true, die-hard Red.

The good news is that when their birthday or an important day rolls around—or if you simply want to make them happy or feel special—you can go to the Liverpool store in Dubai or its official store online to buy them a gift. For dedicated Liverpool fans, any of the merchandise in the Liverpool official store should suffice.

Do you need some gift ideas? Consider the following suggestions:

1. A Liverpool T-Shirt, Polo Shirt or Sweatshirt

A shirt is an excellent gift. It is easy to wear, easy to pair, and quite comfortable.

Shirts are a particularly great gift for men. They can wear them with denim trousers or cargo shorts and pair them with sneakers or trainers for a casual look. Exchange the jeans or shorts with suit trousers, a blazer, and loafers or dress shoes and the shirt becomes less casual and a little more formal.

Now, turn that shirt into a Liverpool FC shirt. That should push your Liverpool fan friend, spouse, child, parent, or sibling over the moon. Choose among a T-shirt, a polo shirt or a sweatshirt—or give them all three, why not?

Liverpool FC T-shirts come in many styles. Colours include grey, khaki, black, white, navy, and, of course, red. Some are plain, others are printed, and yet some more are embossed. A lot have the emblematic liver bird on the left side of the chest; others have You’ll Never Walk Alone (or just the acronym), We’re Never Gonna Stop (an original Liverpool FC anthem), or some other meaningful text on them.

Tip: Liverpool T-shirts are an excellent layering garment for sweatshirts—a Liverpool FC sweatshirt.

Liverpool polo shirts are just as varied as Liverpool FC T-shirts. They can be short- or long-sleeved, colour-blocked, or plain, in red, black, grey, navy, charcoal, and white. If your recipient likes semi-formal or formal wear more than casual attire, get them the polo shirt instead of the T-shirt. This transitions more easily from casual to dressy and goes perfectly with a sporty blazer or even a suit jacket.

How about completing the shirt trifecta with a Liverpool sweatshirt? A sweater ticks all the boxes for a thoughtful and practical gift. It’s versatile, comfortable, and suitable for all seasons. Your recipient can wear it for lounging at home or over their Liverpool T-shirt or polo shirt to brave chilly match days. Are they athletes themselves? They can wear it for training or to go to the gym. Liverpool FC sweatshirts even come in fancier knit options.

2. The Liverpool Home Kit

There’s nothing a Liverpool fan will appreciate more than the Liverpool home kit. Just imagine game days for them: They can dress in full Liverpool regalia to match their beloved Reds playing on the pitch.

The Liverpool FC home kit is a badge of honour and a statement of loyalty. For Liverpool FC fans, wearing the team’s colours helps them identify and bond with other Liverpool fans. It’s also a show of support, as it can hearten the Reds to see a sea of red in the stadium.

Do you know what’s even better about the Liverpool home kit? Since it changes every season now, you can give your Liverpool fan friend or family another home kit next year, and it will be different from what you’ve already given them.

3. The Liverpool Away Kit

To the uninitiated, the home kit is the club’s primary ‘uniform’. Naturally, it’s coloured red for the Reds. However, if the Reds play another team whose primary colour is also red (Man United comes to mind) and they happen to be the visiting team, they must wear their away kit to avoid colour conflicts.

In the past, Liverpool’s away kits had been predominantly white with red accents. There have been seasons when the away kit had blue sleeves. Later, other colours were used, including yellow, grey, and teal. It’s the same teal used as a sleeve accent in the current season’s black away kit jersey and the same colour that predominated in the 2020/21 season’s away kit. Purple, orange and black have also featured in Liverpool’s away strip.

4. Accessories

Liverpool FC accessories also make superb gifts. You have quite a few options to choose from.

Liverpool accessories vary from season to season, but you should be able to find a satisfactory gift from whatever’s available. For instance, a Liverpool leather wallet can be an outstanding gift. It’s functional, plus a Liverpool FC fan will appreciate a liver bird stamped on their wallet’s leather surface.

Other accessories that may be available are wash bags, gym toiletry sets, flip flops, trunks, and grooming kits.

Gifts the Reds Will Cherish

The outstanding thing about having family or friends who are Liverpool FC fans is the well-developed range of Liverpool merchandise you can choose from when you need a gift for a birthday or to celebrate an achievement or a special occasion.

You can give them a shirt, a home kit, an away kit, and accessories—and that’s just scratching the surface of the Liverpool gift-giving repertoire.
