’Liverbird Upon My Chest’ - the immortal words of a famous ’Kop’ song but it wasn’t until the mid 1950’s that Liverpool wore the badge displaying the Liverbird on their soccer jersey. The images below from left to right show how the Liverpool badge has evolved since it’s introduction to the jersey in 1955.

History of this shirt - Of Liverpool's signings in the summer of 2000, Gerard Houllier's first in sole charge of team affairs, Gary McAllister was perhaps the best-known to English football fans. Yet his move to Anfield ranks as one of the most unexpected in Premiership history. McAllister made possibly the biggest move of his career, to wear the red of Liverpool. The doubters were many, but they were quickly won over by the part the man affectionately known on the Kop as 'Gary Mac' played in the side's headlong rush towards the three trophies that were to make 2000-2001 a season to live long in the memory of Liverpool fans. McAllister's performances in midfield were a crucial factor in Liverpool's successes that season.

The first part of the treble came with success over Birmingham City in the Worthington Cup final, Gary appearing as a sub for Gerrard and slotting home the first penalty of the shoot-out to put Liverpool on the way to a 5-4 victory. The FA Cup was then won - albeit rather fortuitously - with a 2-1 win against Arsenal thanks to two late Michael Owen goals, Gary coming on as sub for Didi Hamann, and McAllister then played a key role in the UEFA Cup final, scoring a penalty and creating three of Liverpool's other goals that night in Dortmund as the Reds beat Spanish side Alaves in a 5-4 thriller.
