For Matchday 3 of the English Premier League, Manchester United welcomed Liverpool to Old Trafford. Notably, the visiting team wore their third kit, which featured a unique twist: the Nike logo was not displayed as it usually is.

Throughout history, football clubs have introduced countless jersey designs for home and away games. In recent years, third kits have also been incorporated for special occasions.

For instance, Liverpool FC wore their third kit for the match against Manchester United. While their primary colors of white and red were maintained, what stood out was the altered sponsor logo, differing from its usual appearance.
