Every so often a shirt breaks from tradition so cleanly that it becomes a collector’s item overnight. The Liverpool teal jersey did exactly that twice: first as Nike’s 2022/23 third kit, then again when adidas revived the shade in sea green for 2025/26. Here is the story behind both, why the original stood out, and where to find them.
Where can I buy the Liverpool teal jersey?
Two routes, depending on which teal you want. The original 2022/23 Nike third is resale only, and Classic Football Shirts carries graded originals, including player printing.

What the teal kit actually is
Nike unveiled Liverpool's third kit on 5 September 2022. The colorway blended two shades, dark atomic teal and rio teal, offset by siren red on the cuffs, the club crest and the sponsor logos. Like Nike's other 2022/23 shirts, the teal was made from 100% recycled polyester and printed with water-based inks, part of the brand's sustainability push. It was designated for cup competitions and friendlies rather than league duty.
Why the teal jersey stood out
Liverpool live in red, so any move away from it gets noticed. The teal shirt landed at the right moment, bright, modern and unlike anything else in the Premier League that season, and it quickly became a favorite among fans who wanted a Liverpool shirt that did not look like every other Liverpool shirt. That scarcity, a one-season release in a standout color, is exactly what drives resale demand today.
Teal comes back: the 2025/26 adidas third
When adidas returned as Liverpool's kit maker in 2025, its first third shirt arrived in sea green, a shade close enough to the Nike teal that fans immediately compared the two. The adidas version reads softer and more mint in daylight, while the 2022/23 Nike shirt stays darker and bluer. What began as a one-season experiment now looks like a recurring club color.
When did Liverpool wear green?
Green has a longer Liverpool history than the teal era suggests. The club's first green away shirt appeared under adidas in the early 1990s, and green stayed a fixture in goalkeeper kits through the Grobbelaar and James years. The 2022/23 teal third and the 2025/26 sea green third are the modern continuations of that thread.
How it fits into Liverpool's third-kit history
Liverpool's third shirts have long been the club's design playground, from ecru and grey to black-and-teal experiments. The 2022/23 teal sits among the most distinctive of the Nike era, alongside the purple away shirts and the black third kits that fans still talk about. If you like your Liverpool shirts off the beaten path, this is the one.
Which Liverpool teal jersey should you buy?
If you want the original, hunt the 2022/23 Nike third through the graded stock above and check condition and printing before you pay. If you want the color without the resale hunt, the adidas sea green third is the in-stock pick and comes in kids sizes.
