According to the official website of Liverpool, Liverpool players will wear special edition jerseys in Japan's preseason to play against Yokohama Mariners.

These jerseys were designed in collaboration with the club's official publishing partner Kodansha and will be unveiled at the Nissan Stadium. The name and number on the back of the jersey are inspired by the art of calligraphy. These unique characters were created by the famous Japanese calligrapher Aki Yueruo.

"The name and number style on the tour jersey is calligraphy, 'book' means writing, and 'do' means path," explained Akiko Kamiya, deputy director of Kotansawa, who is responsible for the project. "There are many words in Japanese that have 'do' or paths, such as judo. Calligraphy is a path that uses brushes, inks and Japanese paper. We immerse the brush in ink and then describe the words in a continuous motion, blending our thoughts and emotions into it. Once you put the brush on the paper, you can't go back. Head. Calligraphy is not just about drawing a beautiful character. It is not always perfect, but not just to make the letter look beautiful, but to write with intention. Each stroke carries the writer's feelings, rhythm and existence at that moment. Calligraphy does not pursue perfection or symmetry, but finds beauty from movement, balance, space and sincerity. "

Qiu Yueliu uses a lot of ancient words and pseudonyms in her works, and her works have appeared in magazines, books, television, movies, advertisements and costumes. Her unique creation for Liverpool jersey this week will be shown to the world as Slott leads the team to complete the 2025 Asian Tour.

"This piece is not just the East or the West, or the difference between writing and painting," Kamiya Akiko said, "It's a quiet gesture that expresses respect, imagination and connection, delivered from Japan to Liverpool. Every letter and number, in a unique form, resonates with each other. Together they speak with quiet power and harmony, like a team. We're very happy with the results and look forward to seeing the players wear these jerseys. It's a historic moment for us. It's really a show of our partnership. Of course, there's a sponsoring factor , but Liverpool encourages us to participate, and the club has paid off a lot, so it's a very good cycle. "

" Liverpool has a unique history, but they always try to do something new. Kodansha has more than 100 years of history, but we want to do something challenging every time, and I think that's one of the reasons for the success of this project."

Previously, Liverpool Football Club and Kodansha collaborated on a new series earlier this year, combining football culture with Japanese comic art. Launched in April, the series includes a range of costumes and accessories, featuring comic-style panels to represent real moments in the history of the Reds, capturing drama and emotion in the game. These items will debut in Japan this summer.
