Liverpool Hoping for Swift Verdict in Nike vs New Balance Kit Supplier Court Battle

Liverpool are awaiting a court ruling on whether they can begin a new partnership with Nike or must stick with current kit suppliers New Balance, whose current contract expires next year.

The Reds' kits have been made by New Balance since 2015, with the Boston-based supplier taking over from its own subsidiary company Warrior Sports, who had been on board since 2012.

But with the New Balance deal coming to an end at the end of this season, Liverpool have negotiated a lucrative first ever partnership with Nike, prompting the legal battle.

The Liverpool Echo have been closely following the proceedings and reports that a three-day trial at the High Court in London has come to a close.
