Blues will debut new home kit against Spurs

I like this seasonÂ’s one, at first I wasnÂ’t too sure of the dark shade on the collar or the socks but itÂ’s really frown on me and really worked.

What I do like about this current one is the shirt isnÂ’t awash with stupid white bands or flashes.

We look like Ipswich or someone else crap with dark socks.

So nothing that will fit my missus then, and the kids sizes wonÂ’t have the sponsor on. My 11-year-old refuses to have a shirt without Chang on it.

We have changed our strips every season for a long time now. Without a doubt itÂ’s to increase commercial revenue. Every Premier League side does it.

It may do away with tradition and hit fans in the pocket (though theyÂ’re not forced to buy the latest kit) but the same fans are probably those complaining about our poor commercial showing in comparison to other clubs. ItÂ’s a necessary evil.

They say that the change strip will be like the 88-89 one with the grey stripes (not for everyone but I loved that kit!) while they hint that the third kit will be a bit lurid. "Zambia" was what they said earlier! The mind boggles...

Most Clubs change every two seasons, certainly be bigger ones do it biannually. Also, we have 3 new kits every season. So we are approaching 40 kits since the start of the Moyes era! Of those 40, there have been a handful of class kits and a lot of crap.

Personal favourite home kits all by Umbro funnily enough 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2014-15. Best away kit is the Le Coq all black with pink pinstripes, closely followed by the cream and navy, also by Le Coq. In those days we werenÂ’t the soft touch away from Goodison we are now and I think we were unbeaten wearing both those away kits!

Too many bad ones to mention, although the Puma home kit worn in the Smith / Moyes crossover season of 2001-02 was the pits.

Finally, got to be WHITE SOCKS!!

You canÂ’t by an Everton jersey in any of the big sports shops. We probably have the cheapest and worst deal of any club in the premiership. This from of the 5/6th(?) best supported worldwide. Even this season we ran out of home kits because kitbag miscalculated the demand??? Z

If it was a private firm someone would have been sacked for losing the firm millions and for 10 years. Absolutely SHOCKING. Looking at our deals with Chang etc we are selling ourselves very cheap. Our commercial department is a joke.

Is that true? I thought it was now standard for all teams to bring out a new kit every season (3 new kits every season in our case). Shows how much attention I pay to opposition shirts beyond their colour.

I couldnÂ’t agree more with you there mate! I always prefer the white socks with the traditional Blue Everton kit.

IÂ’m sure many fans also concur with us on that too, but weÂ’re only fans and secondary in most things, but first and foremost when we are paying!

ThatÂ’ll be two new strips for the kids. I was still calling the old ones "new". Getting expensive to fly the flag for this club.

Jim Bennings @1 – No, the dark socks are not aesthetically pleasing at all. They makes us Look dull, slow, and like Ian said: Blue, white, white that’s it.

Please please please Everton, put a sponsor on the kids kits as they look absolutely awful without one.

Chang soda or Everton in the Community. Simple.

What gets me is we all know they cost buttons to make, and go on sale towards the end of the season for a reasonable price (about 15 quid) , why doesnÂ’t the "People's Club" do something pro-active for a change, lead the way and start selling them at that price ALL season, get plenty of stock in to cover demand, and have Everton shirts everywhere!!!!

Start raising our profile again. With all the TV money, it's not like shirt sales make a huge impact anymore. I know fashion heads donÂ’t like wearing them but I know IÂ’m sick of seeing Liverpool shirts round every corner you turn. It's time the club started giving something back to the fans who have suffered long enough. If we canÂ’t do ticket prices, stop fleecing the fans with 50 quid shirts!!!!!!

A soft spot for 2002-03 in Rooney and Moyes first full season here.

I also quite liked the amber collar on the 2011-12 kit.

Hated 1997-98 with a passion.
Really didnÂ’t like 2009-10 retro 84 kit either, didnÂ’t like the white on the neck and the paler shade of blue horrible.

Quite liked the 95 Cup Final kit.
And also a little forgotten gem, the 1999-00 one when we last won at Anfield.

Think the last time we had retained a kit was 1995-96, 1996-97 (Danka) I liked that though. The 1994-95 kit was also nice and neat, except that it was baggy and oversized intentionally.

I agree the 1999-2000 kit is also very smart. The 2011-12 le coq shirt is good too.

My favourite is the 1987-89 kits. Classic and enduring look.
