Liverpool

It was Bill Shankly who gave Liverpool it’s iconic all red kit they still wear to this day. Shankly decided that the teams colours needed more psychological impact—red for danger, red for power. He came into the dressing room one day and threw a pair of red shorts to Ronnie Yeats. “Get into those shorts and let’s see how you look,” he said. “Christ, Ronnie, you look awesome, terrifying. You look 7ft tall.” Ian St. John added “Why not go the whole hog, boss? Why not wear red socks? Let’s go out all in red.” Shankly approved and the club dropped the white shorts and socks from it’s kit design in 1964.
