The Kit Supplier Thread

I like it but for the cost of making it what’s the point? Three kits are silly. Make ur home kit as is and your away kit the next season. Sales aren’t spread out across various kits. If I know I’m getting two years out of a kit. I know I’m getting my kids wear out of it and will buy it. 

Completely agree. There’ll be a 4th option as standard before too long...

We have white and blue shorts and socks for the home kit. So they can wear it at more away games with the added options. We always do. 

Like when we play United away, they wear white shorts, so we’ll wear blue. 

I understand the reasoning but I hate when we wear blue shorts. Just doesn't feel right. 

[Finn balor]

Just wear the away kit. Hence the “away” kit not mix and match bollocks 

[barryj]

I really don’t get too worked up on kits. I’ve given up caring how many kits we have, what colour shorts we wear on a particular day. As long as the players wearing it give 100% I’m relatively happy.

[StevO]

I’d like us to only wear our home kit away from home if it was the derby or neutral venue. Other than that wear the away or third. The last time I bought a third kit I think we wore it once.

Actually, haven’t we had a fourth kit before but for charity? I think if we said half (ideally all) the proceeds from the 3rd kit went to charity, it’d be a lot more justifiable...

I'm the other way, I want us to wear Blue whenever possible.

[Shukes]

I just count the 3rd shirts as extra Everton merchandise.

I’d normally agree, but then I think about all the kids who will get the kits and never get to see the team play in them. 

Think of the children Mike!!!

We had the 50/50 EFC/Barcelona shirt once as well. Can't find a picture of it anywhere.

Mate I don't know but one thing's for sure we won't get it back, so let's make the most of what we've got left, and on that depressing note I'm about to get ready to go to a lovely restaurant in the mountains of northern Italy.

I've always managed to miss Italy somehow, must go one of these days; actually had flights and hotel booked in Rome a couple of years back but had to cancel late when father-in-law got ill

Enjoy your meal.

Enjoy mate. I work with a few teenagers who take selfies everywhere they go. They don’t understand why I don’t. I’m busy making memories while they take photos. 

Were here for a good time, not a long time!

Non-kit-designer-speak......  “It’s white, it’s rectangular.”  And it’s shite.

[markjazzbassist]

i really like that simple man city kit they wore for the community shield.  back to basics.

[Finn balor]

Yeah that city kit was lovely

Typical Umbro , I went into the toffeshop after the game yesterday and they had no kids home shorts of any size in stock and just one pair of kids away shorts, which we bought, in a YM all other sizes sold out

No estimate for when they are getting any back in stock , absolute shambles

That’s fucking disgraceful. Is Umbro to blame or Everton? I’d blame Umbro cos I hate the kits they have produced. They say the goalie kit is unique and half the English league are wearing it

Aren't they going to look like hot pants when you put them on, you might get away with that look on 60s night in the Cavern

Be like then 80s shorts with your balls hanging out the side

It was the first home game of the season to be fair. We didn’t even go into the shop as it was so rammed before the game. So many fans wait till the first home game to get their kits. 

Suspose it makes a day of it.

That’s down to Everton. A supplier can only supply what it’s asked to produce.
