09/10 kits

Just a little distraction from the massive game on Sunday, it looks like pictures of Phil Neville and Tim Howard posing in our next season's Le Coq Sportif kit have been relesed and they look as flat and unimaginative as a witches bosoms. Can we stay with Umbro please...?
Update: Brian Richardson (below) posted this link to full previews of the kits in all their highly dubious "glory" at BlueKipper — Editorial Team

1) The home kit seems fine. Nice nod to the 25th anniversary of all things 84-85. Full marks.
2) Colour scheme for away kit seems somewhat odd and garish but is obviously a retro-heritage nod to "The Black Watch" and all that; so on that basis it works in an esoteric kinda way.
3) The design for the away kit is one of the meffiest things I?ve ever seen and, frankly, someone at EFC needs shooting with rusty explode-on-impact bullets.
I confidently predict that the away kit will be retailing for £5.99 by Christmas which will, roughly, still be £5.99 too much.
The Away shirt is not everybody’s cup of tea, but then again nor is luminous yellow/green either is it? I think though that the ladies will love it with the pink in it and I’m sure that this is part of the thinking. Rather clever if you ask me.
Whoever agreed to go with LCS really does need shooting. Small minded decision for a club who should be looking up.
As for the 25-year thing on the team of 84/85 ? that is stupid. Surely we should be looking at making new history? Especially as the (albeit successful) kits of that era were awful.
Well a well known local hockey club play in Pink, picking on the link with the shimps of Parkgate. An old mate of mine was in the Neston team that won the English Cup and they got into Europe as a result. They arrived at one away match down south ? heard all the sniggers from the home team about the pink shirts and promptly hacked them off the park.
After all in football you can kick someone but it is illegal. In hockey you can "accidently" hit them with a piece of wood and it is legal. Neston won 3-0 and stuffed the Pink Shirts comments well and truly down their throats. The comments fired them up to show they were a tough bunch.
Just looking forward to someone telling Our Tim the pink suits him...
Everton are always coming out about how we are moving forward on the pitch and also off the pitch, but this just seems to be a step backward, why not Nike? ? the biggest shirt seller in the UK, massive in fashion and very popular? Have you seen many people wear Le Coq Sportif gear on the street? I certainly haven't! Not since the 90s!! I just don't understand why we have gone with them?!?! not a happy blue.....
On a lighter note... the semi! :) going to be the biggest match of the season for us except the final of course! ;) I'm extremely confident... 2-1 to the Blues, Cahill and Fellaini to score!!
COYBs
It's hard to say what the jersey is like without seeing the whole kit but it's not about the kit but who's wearing it and I reckon Mounthino would look well in that kit, as would Jo.....
We have also got to remember that every shirt sold we will get the benefit, the club, so stop bloody moaning we will all still buy them, hands up who has the third kit now, you know the bright yellow one... Chelsea's second strip.
Sporting companies usually pay clubs to wear their kit and chances are Nike or Adidas weren?t interested or, most likely, weren?t offering enough for us to go with them.
I have to agree though, I?d rather the kit be original than harking back to our 80s glory years.
Not sure why, so going to go have a long lie down.
A HAB?s (Husbands and Boyfriends) must have.
Yeh, let's all boycot the kit and then we?ll have even less revenue coming in... great idea, lads!
Incidentally, I think I might not renew my season ticket coz my seat is white and not blue.
Time to recycle them
The away kit is terrible but most away kits are.
LCS stuff is only sold in cheap shops like Sports Direct & JJB, fashion conscious kids shop in JD sports etc. Still It's what I expect from our club. After we let Puma slip away, we almost signed with Diadora because they offered a fraction more.
Wait until the kit designs are posted and official before making a comment; for all we know, these images are fakes that are ?leaked? so that people get upset and, when the ?real? kits are released, people are impressed as they are better than the fakes.
