In case you're wondering, it'll be worn with black shorts (also adorned with that rather peculiar red trim), but this is the important bit you may or may not be wearing in 2007/08.
It's available to buy right now from the Liverpool website and if you're an adult you can expect to part company with £39.99 of your hard-earned.
Not a bad effort, one might think - especially given the fluctuating quality of Adidas in recent years. Now it's over to you, though: is it a winner or a ringer? Leave us a comment or vote in our online poll below...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
VOTING HAS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS SHIRT
The final results were as follows:
Excellent: 30 (32%)
Good: 22 (23%)
OK: 22 (23%)
Poor: 13 (14%)
Terrible: 7 (7%)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
And before we go, an update on how the votes are going in our other 'New Shirt' polls (see menu on right).
The Man City home shirt has been the most popular in terms of the overall number of votes cast - a whopping 177 - however it's the most unpopular in terms of the way you voted. Just 34% of you thought it was 'Excellent' or 'Good' while 47% said it was either 'Poor' or 'Terrible'.
Contrast that with the Tottenham home shirt which is the one most of you like so far. 70% say it's 'Excellent' or 'Good' whereas only 18% said it was 'Poor' or 'Terrible'.
As far as positive feedback is concerned, the Fulham home shirt is currently second with a 67% positive vote and Arsenal's new away shirt is third with 63%. At the other end of the scale, Reading's new grey away shirt is already second worst for negative feedback with 35% and West Ham and Birmingham's home shirts are next with 28%.
Speaking of West Ham, the online vote for their new home shirt has had the quickest and most prolific response so far, slightly edging out the Man City home shirt. Sadly, no-one's been much bothered to vote on the new Wigan and Birmingham home shirts. They can't be that bad, surely?
And finally, if you haven't already done so, please cast your vote on the greatest England home shirt of all time. It's a much tougher choice but see which one you think's best and make your voice heard.
Thanks to everyone for the hundreds of votes cast and the dozens of comments registered so far. You've made this feature a great success! :-)

It's just so-so. I don't like the armpit and love-handle accents. These features will not be flattering for the majority of Kop denizens. And despite desperately needing an upgrade from my 2005 CL winner's top (I think the magic has run out.), I'll be passing on this year's offering.
I much prefer Liverpool's 3rd choice kit, I think the black looks really sharp with the red slashes or whatever they are.
The black one is better. I still think they could have made this one great by leaving out the slashes, making the crest larger and making the collar and sponsor red. That would be a classy kit.
The slashes don't really bother me all that much. I like that they break up the solid white, which I find pretty boring. I know its got the shoulder stripes, but still.
I have to admit, I've got a soft spot for the yellow away kits, but the white ones tend to be usually very good too.
Strange how green suddenly became an alternative in recent years. What are your thoughts on that?
I love that so many people had to register their disgust with that horrible city shirt
I can't find the away one on the website at all... I want to order it
*grumbles*
Also I really the things people hate about this liverpool shirt
You're right. That purple away shirt for Man City has appeared in one or two places, yet their official site is pretending it doesn't exist yet.
Expect to see a Shirt Vote on it when it goes public!!
From memory, Liverpool changed to green away kits at the end of their 'candy' sponsorship in preparation for the new deal with Carlsberg. Sad that such a traditional club as Liverpool would sell out to the corporate world.
I don't mind the white and black kit, but it's not a patch on the '86 top!
Fair enough, Karris!
I have to admit that I felt the new all-green strip Liverpool wore (as sponsored by Candy) was quite an exciting change, even if it was heavily emblazoned with the three Adidas stripes.
I think my favourite Liverpool away strip of all time, though, was the yellow one with red pinstripes from 1982-ish. Classic!
