There's also a signature of club legend Bob Paisley OBE on the back of the neck.
"It’s always special to pull on the Liverpool shirt," Trent Alexander-Arnold said about the shirt when it was released at the start of the season. "The fact this one is a celebration of my city and the streets I grew up playing in, makes it even better. I can’t wait to wear it on the pitch."
