As we get towards the end of the season, clubs tend to showcase their forthcoming kits for the next campaign to give fans a little taster of what they can look forward to.

It's essentially a marketing exercise, but fans are always curious as to what new kits are on the horizon, especially when some horror shows launch.

Yes, Twitter becomes the home of ridicule when those kits are leaked, and it appears as though Liverpool are in for a fair dose of that imminently.

The Reds currently sport a - surprise, surprise - red home top and a lime green away jersey, but if some leaked images online are to be believed, that is all about to change.

Well, the away and third strips, anyway.

While the club will be sticking with New Balance as the manufacturer and Standard Chartered as the sponsor, it's the colours that will be changing.

As you can see from the image below, Liverpool have gone for something of a throwback when it comes to the away kit, but something completely out of the blue - or orange - for the third strip.

The away kit, as predicted by Footy Headlines, is inspired by the famous 1995-96 away strip that the Spice Boys donned. Many of you may remember Eric Cantona scoring the winner in the FA Cup Final against Liverpool in that very kit.

The home strip is a slightly darker representation of today's kit, but with lighter pinstripes running down the front of the jersey.

The third kit is...well, Holland? The Orange top and socks contrasting with the black shorts sure is reminiscent of Giorgio Wijnaldum's home country and there is certainly no confusion between that and the other two kits.

But, will the new threads improve Liverpool's fortunes at all?

With a bit of luck, Jurgen Klopp's troops will be wearing their new strips in the Champions League next season and they currently occupy the fourth spot in the Premier League.

They are six points ahead of Manchester United but have played two games more. With just six games remaining - for Liverpool at least - the race for the Champions League is set to be tighter than ever.
