Fowler burst onto the scene with Liverpool in the mid-90s, and the 1995-96 home shirt, made by Adidas, is a classic kit from his early career. With its deep red design and iconic white collar, this shirt is etched in history, particularly when Fowler netted a hat-trick in just four minutes against Arsenal in 1994. The same year, Braveheart was released.
The 1996-97 Liverpool away shirt, famously dubbed the "ecru" shirt due to its unique beige color, was one of Fowler’s most memorable kits. Manufactured by Reebok, this shirt saw Fowler play a key role in Liverpool's push for the title, with his partnership with Stan Collymore terrorizing defenses. Fowler famously wore this classic Liverpool kit when he scored a stunning brace against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Trainspotting hit cinemas, a cult classic much like this shirt became for football collectors.
In 2001, Fowler made the move to Leeds United, donning the famous white kit in what would become a short but notable spell. The 2001-02 home shirt, made by Nike, saw Fowler wear the captain’s armband in crucial matches, including his goal in the 3-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers.
Fowler's return to Liverpool during the 2000-01 season marked one of the club’s most successful periods, and the home shirt from that year is a classic Robbie Fowler kit. Made by Reebok, the red design with white piping was worn when Fowler scored in Liverpool’s 5-4 victory over Alaves in the UEFA Cup final. That same year, Gladiator dominated the Oscars, just as Liverpool conquered Europe in a stunning season.
After leaving Leeds, Fowler moved to Manchester City, where he donned the sky-blue shirt from 2003-04. Manufactured by Reebok, this kit represents a transitional period for both Fowler and City. Fowler scored a hat-trick against Manchester United in this shirt, reminding fans of his undoubted talent. In the same year, Love Actually became a holiday favourite. I'm not going to make a link between Robbie Fowler and the love from City fans here. Sorry. I just can't.
The 1997-98 Liverpool home shirt, manufactured by Reebok, is another classic Fowler kit that stands out. This deep red design with minimal white details was worn during Fowler’s prime years at Anfield, including his legendary four-minute hat-trick against Arsenal.
Robbie Fowler’s career was marked by unforgettable goals and classic football shirts that have become iconic pieces of football history. Whether it’s the early Adidas kits of Liverpool or his later stints in Manchester City and Cardiff, each shirt tells a story of Fowler’s incredible journey.
