Liverpool fans are far from happy over leaked images that appear to show the club's new away kit for next season.
The Reds' deal with New Balance ends in May and the club have already inked a lucrative deal with Nike, who will become their kit manufacturers for the 2020-21 campaign.
But Footy Headlines has leaked images of what could be Liverpool's away kit, which is dominated by a strange teal ('hyper turquoise') colour.
The away kit has the Nike logo and the Liver Bird in black, along with a black crew-neck colour based on the manufacturer's current template.
"As expected, Nike continues to use the Liver Bird instead of the contemporary Liverpool FC crest," Footy Headlines said.

"A faint teal border was added to the black Standard Chartered logo to make it stand out more against the background.
"An abstract all-over graphic appears on the Nike Liverpool 2020-21 away football shirt, although we so far can only see the part at the top with the supplier, club and sponsor logos."
But Liverpool fans are stunned by the leaked design and have expressed their disappointment on social media.
If that is the leaked version of the away kit from Nike for next season, not looking forward to seeing what they produce for the home and third kits

@Nike if this is your idea of a Liverpool kit, you’re so far off the mark it’s unbelievable. Try again. pic.twitter.com/NizIZh8vsG

One Twitter user wrote: "i thought nike was ment to improve the liverpool kit, would have stayed with NB [sic]."
While another Reds supporter tweeted: "Why the f**k is it blue?"
A third added: "Disappointed looks disgusting."
And Liverpool fan Zach Hollander said: "Looks more liking [sic] a training top than anything."
Liverpool hold a whopping 25-point lead over defending champions Manchester City before the Premier League was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.
According to reports, the club could lift the league title in their brand-new Nike kit should the season be extended beyond the end of May.
