Third Everton kit for the 2023-24 season

I wish someone from the Fans Advisory Board would tell the club to stop using the crap version of Rupert's Tower on everything (looks like a bullet) as well and stick to the badge.

Trying to test the waters of the supporters resolve, it's our club regardless of this fake corrupt money that is currently at the helm!

I will not purchase at all, until our true badge is in place.

Who was famous for these words?

Seriously very smart!

Put it on the 3rd kit each year. People get used to seeing the badge. Assess how many negatives v positives about badge.

Eventually put it on away kit too leaving just the home. Then put it to a vote.

I think we could do with updating the badge but going more old-school.

The badge is the issue. Normally I'm against this kind of change, but I see this as making sense. I'd never advocate changing the proper badge, but having a simple, easily identifiable logo as well is actually a good thing for growing the club brand.

Just as Nike own the ‘swoosh' shape and Adidas ‘own' three stripes, Everton can ‘own' a really simple geometric shape and get their brand around the world and into people's consciousnesses more easily.

As a fan base, we complain that the club don't do clever things like this, so I don't think we should complain when they do.

Until the 90s, we rarely wore a version of the official club crest, so it doesn't bother me too much.

Outrage when we had that Nike version.

In the 80s, we wore a crest that had no direct reflection on the official crest.

The 70s classic and simplistic "EFC" on a slant. Give me that every day. That would be iconic.

I personally like the modern representation of Prince Rupert's tower.

Those who know will understand what it means.

If it has white shorts - I can't look - we will not score in it. Players will become suddenly ugly in it, the "organs of increase" will "dry up" (love a King Lear reference), and Jimmy Martin will be turning in his retirement (fantastic interview by the way, heartwarming).

I can't even think of my beloved Neal Maupay with it on. It will make him look like a third-rate striker who hasn't scored a goal for nearly a year.

"And you go home, and you cry, and you want to die".

And haven't the board learnt the lesson from the previous release of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse inspired badge?

It does look "greyish". But grey? What a dull, dreary, drab, dishwater, gloomy, rainy day, resigned colour. At least something day-glo could be inspirational and get noticed.

This dirty towel looks like a relegation scrap.

Is it subliminal messaging that we're fcuked?

agree - leave the badge alone. I like the tower but as an addition/trim item.

My cynicism is such that I predicted this to a friend the first time the tower appeared on the first team shirt. Little is left that isn't subjected to the ongoing change culture, and it's often done in the same old creeping way, so Andy @ 9 is likely correct.

The broad design, I like (from only this one pic so far). Not that we have ever needed or would need a third kit.

Paul F @ 20 - hang in there, Lad. You'll feel better after the first win.

Replace grey with green and it would be lovely.
