Jamie Carragher urges Liverpool to make key change at club

Jamie Carragher has his say on Liverpool and the Champions League.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has demanded the club scrap their updated logo following an initial change before the start of the current season.

The Reds discovered their Champions League fixtures for the newly formatted competition on Thursday, with the mighty Real Madrid waiting in the wings in Arne Slot's first season as manager.

The draw saw the new Liverpool logo plastered over social media as the teams were revealed, prompting a frustrated response from Carragher, calling for a return to an old favourite.

Liverpool legend demands change

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Carragher claimed that Liverpool should overturn their decision to adopt a new logo for the upcoming season, initially reinstating the special edition 125-year anniversary logo first worn in 2017.

The updated badge does away with the intricate green detailing now synonymous with the club, as well as the angled shield surrounding the famous Liver bird.

An initial tweet of complaint from a Liverpool fan read: "Liverpool are Footballing Royalty. Our full crest/badge reflects that. 

"I can't help thinking the change is some kind of cost cutting measure to save on printing costs on various merchandise or some such bulls**t."

Carragher then quoted the user, adding: "Can we have our proper badge back please @LFC"

In a separate post, Carragher later added: "I love club badges of the big European clubs & we are one of them. When I look at this picture ours just doesn’t look right. I know we like to be different at times but the last one was great."

The new logo pays homage to the club's most successful era, almost directly replicating the badge used between 1968 and 1987, a period in which the club lifted multiple European Cups and league titles.
