Why do Liverpool wear red & have they always had that colour for their home kit?

Liverpool are known for playing in their all-red home ensemble, but have they always worn the same coloured strip?

Liverpool have not always played in their signature all-red home kit.

In fact, they only started wearing their all-red number since 1964, well after their formation in 1892, when iconic former manager Bill Shankly decided to change their strip in a view to pose as more of a threat to opposition teams.

One of Liverpool's first-ever strips involved a blue shirt with navy shorts, before it was changed four years later to the red shirt and white socks ensemble that was synonymous in the pre-Shankly years.
