New Balance in fresh kit dispute three years on from pivotal Liverpool court case

Liverpool's former kit supplier have become embroiled in a legal dispute that mirrors the one that they had with the Reds back in 2019.

According to Italian sports business website Calcio e Finanza, via Sports Pro Media, New Balance, who were Liverpool's kit supplier from 2015 to 2020, are taking legal action against Italian side AS Roma over the intention of the Serie A club to link-up with a different kit manufacturer, Adidas, from the 2023/24 season.

Boston-based New Balance signed a multi-year deal with the Serie A outfit in 2021 in a deal reportedly worth €3m to €4m per season but, according to financial statements from AS Roma, New Balance initiated arbitration before the International Chamber of Commerce against the Giallorossi club in June 2022.
