To mark the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough, Liverpool FC is raising funds for the families with the Hillsborough Patch For The 96.
The patch can be simply ironed on to existing shirts and costs just £2.
Liverpool players will wear the patch for the home match against Manchester City on April 13th – two days before the anniversary itself.
Margaret Aspinall, chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group (HFSG), commented: “The 25th anniversary of Hillsborough is an important milestone for the families.
“The ‘Patch for the 96′ is a special way for all football fans from across the world to come together in support and is a commemorative sign of unity.”
Note: The Hillsborough Families will receive 100% of all profits from every patch sold.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says offering full-back Glen Johnson a new contract in the summer is amongst the club’s priorities.

Speculation had mounted surrounding Johnson’s future after the England international admitted his eagerness to get a new deal sorted earlier this month.
Johnson’s current deal expires in summer 2015.
Over the weekend, the 29-year-old former Chelsea and Portsmouth defender was linked with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Rodgers had told press at his pre-Sunderland press conference earlier on Monday that there would be no talk of new contracts for players or staff until the season was over.
But, speaking to the Liverpool Echo on Monday night, Rodgers revealed that he has every intuition of sorting out Johnson’s future, although the actual negotiations won’t take place until the summer.
“We want to keep Glen here,” Rodgers said.
“There is no question about that, especially now he’s in this form. He’s 29 and we feel that he has still got good years ahead of him.
“No contracts will be looked at until the summer but his will be a priority for us, especially if he continues in the form that he’s in.”
Rodgers added that he does not believe Johnson’s high wages, estimated to be around £110,000, would be a stumbling block in the club offering him a new deal.
“It just means you just have to sit, debate and discuss what’s best for the club and the player,” Rodgers added.
“The beauty of this is we want to keep Glen and Glen loves it here. We just need to find a solution which is good for both.
“If we can do that then the club will have a very good player for years to come.
“We have other players like young Jon Flanagan who only has one year left, while Jordan Henderson only has two years left. They have been great and we want to look at those contracts.
“That’s something that will be for the summer. The players can do themselves no harm by continuing to play in the form they are in. The club will then take a close look at it.”
Johnson was signed from Portsmouth by Rafa Benitez in 2009 as a replacement for right-back Alvaro Arbeloa.
To date, Johnson has made 164 appearances for the Reds, scoring eight goals on his way.

Brendan Rodgers has called upon Liverpool fans to create an electric atmosphere at Anfield on Wednesday night when the Reds face Sunderland in the Premier League.

It is Liverpool’s first home game in over a month. Rodgers’ side edged to a 4-3 victory over Swansea in the last match on February 23rd.
The Reds go into Wednesday night’s game against the Mackems second in the league table, and can close the gap on leaders Chelsea to just one point, with Jose Mourinho’s men still to come to Anfield next month.
After three successive away victories at Southampton, Manchester United and Cardiff City, Rodgers wants to bring the team home to a roaring reception.
“We’re really looking forward to playing at Anfield now on Wednesday night,” Rodgers is quoted on the club’s official website as saying. “It’s a big game for us.
“Hopefully the supporters can really get behind the team well before kick-off, get the atmosphere revved up for the game and we’ll look to continue on this great run. As you can see, we believe we can perform well and get results.
“Cardiff was the fourth away game on the spin that we’ve won and we’ve played three games on the bounce away from home – Southampton, Manchester United and now at Cardiff.
“We ended up with six goals [against Cardiff] – arguably we could have had one or two more. But it was a wonderful demonstration of our mentality, resilience and our strength mentally. It was another demonstration of our offensive power.”
SpionKop1906, responsible for some of the iconic banners on the Kop lately, are calling on fans to bring their flags on Wednesday to greet the Liverpool team bus on it’s arrival at the ground – meeting on Anfield Road from 6pm.
Fans on social media are encouraging each other to get inside Anfield early on Wednesday and create a big noise before kick-off.
Liverpool v Sunderland gets underway at 8pm on Wednesday, 26th March 2014.
