To be replaced by No Room For Racism badge. Statement reads is part:

The league released a statement on June 30 saying it did “not endorse any political organisation or movement, nor support any group that calls for violence or condones illegal activity”.

Glad to see this. I was happy BLM was removed from the shirt before Liverpool clinched the title. After thirty years the last thing I wanted to see was BLM crap emblazoned on the shirt when Hendo lifted the trophy! Good for the PL!
