Blues launch kit consultation

Loved that one as well. Totally unique!

Given that we haven't played in our black and salmon away kit this season! And looking at our away fixtures we have left, there's no colour clash in any of them...

I hope there's a question on price there too though. My 9-year-old lad got a full strip this season –

Top 㿕
Shorts 㿀
Socks 㾶

That's 㿳. Free delivery is 㿷 so you add on the EPL badges (٤) and in this instance he had his name on the back which added on about a tenner from memory but that's up to the buyer.

So, with or without the badges you're looking at over 㿷 for a BOY'S strip. The upside is he wears it to death and, in the manufacturer's defence, they do last... but here's the kicker – little boys grow so you have to get the size up if you're going to get more than a year out of it, so it fits right just as it's being replaced.

I'm not too bothered about prices for adult kits but kid's kits, when there's nothing to them and they get a real buzz out of having one, you should be able to pick up for under 㿞 in my opinion. The lower the price, the more they sell, the more kids are seen out and about in them and the more it bonds the kid with the club. At 㿷 there are scores of kids out there who simply will never be able to afford one.

"Has the navy away strip been used at all this season? Even at City where the away strip would be perfect, we wore the yellow 3rd kit"

Do we have 3 away kits or are some people colour blind?

I did like the white shirt with the green Chang logo though

Yes, I liked the amber of the '60s. I wish I could remember what we wore 1960-61 when I started going.

However, I just think the white looks a lot "cleaner" and looks better on the folk who wear it than any of the various colours we've been decked out in over the years.

Anything else is shite.

(I'm 57)

Top Tip for you, Mike. Cigarettes will stunt a child's growth. Simply purchase and force-feed the little nipper twenty fags a day and that annual 㿼 financial worry will become a distant memory.

I took it that Eugene loved that kit because of the man who was in it!!!

You're right Phil, I take it back, on reflection is was an insane suggestion - INSANE!

I'm just checking my tea to see if it has been spiked (there's no LSD in the house but maybe a cocktail of Junior Disprin, Haliborange and rose hip syrup)

A Royal blue shirt with a round white collar!?

For...Everton!!?

Even writing it down it looks crazy.

Nuts, truly fucking NUTS!

"'Would anyone seriously advocate wearing that kit today?'"

Only those with good taste, a sense of history and a desire to think of the greatest Everton team ever each time Z Cars sounds and they run out at Goodison.

Of course, you could have a design penned by a three year old using a wax crayon on a Kellogg's box, maybe the same scrote who came up with the hideous club badge we had a couple of seasons ago...although I suppose you rather liked that, eh? Or how about the appalling effort from 2001, you know, the Blackburn rip off, or the ghastly pale blue "one 2 one" monstrosity that Bilic occasionally wore? Do you have a better kit in mind? ;-)

Can someone put a link up with my all-time hero Johnny Morrisey wearing it please.

great link Eugene, proper kit that. Trouble was, when it got wet the sleeves ended up by your knee caps.

Blues Kits

Niall (#6) I think the home Nike kits were very average.

It has the logos and badges all over it which are a necessity these days, but it's as close as you're going to get to the kit you old farts are pining for.

My previous comment was sincere: I wanted to know if, given the option, some of you would like Everton to play in that exact ill-fitting kit of yesteryear? Clearly it was enough to send Eugene into a sarcasm tail-spin. Then again, what doesn't?

And no, Ray, I didn't like the Crayola badge.

He said..erm..going into a 'sarcasm tail-spin.'

(like being called fatty by Cyril Smith)

You asked your 'sincere' (and definitely not in the least sarcastic) question - 'Would anyone seriously advocate wearing that kit today?' and you got your sincere answers.

So stop being such a crying arse.

Great bit of a history lesson with the season by season pictures of shirts worn by Everton team.

The one shown for season 1959-60, I don't think it was worn all that often, it always stands out for me with an image of Bobby Collins and Brian Labone wearing it for some reason.

The three bands shown on the photo, seem a lot more brighter than I remember them to be. They didn't stand out so much in my recall of them, and we never won anything wearing them either. Thanks for the link, Patrick.

Maybe if plans kick on, we may change and the kits may become available more easily overseas and across the UK.

Or even more interestingly don a version of the first kit we won the league in 1891-92. If we did, that would cause some controversy. I am sure all sad Everton fanatics know what colours we wore in that fateful year as a home kit but, for those who don't I will let you do the research, because you are in for a surprise!

My favourite home apart from the Alan Ball kit was the Keijan Rooney shirt. Favourite away the amber and blue Also as worn by Bally and Co.

I don't understand the need for third kit – who would we play in a mixed blue and yellow kit??

I remember your mother buying you the Argentina kit. I asked her why? "I think he looks lovely in it," she replied. "Oh right" I replied.

Your mother and football.... I took her to Nottm Forest versus Everton game, we hadn't lost for 26 games... we lost 1-0. Never again. A Jinx.

If you think about it, it wouldn't be controversial at that time:- The RS weren't spawned then... or were still playing in school blazers which doubled as goalposts.
