In expectation of the new shop..
Comments (17)
Just been having a mooch on EvertonDirect.com and I have to say, if this is a reflection of the range and quality of gear we can expect from the new shop then we should all be pretty pleased! Couple of really nice items on there ? I've already dropped Father's Day hints to my wife about the Dixie statue and the framed Bob Latchford shirt!
Suffice to say, the club will certainly see my merchandise spending go up as a result of this. We're often accused of being quick to criticise when the club get stuff wrong, but on this showing the merchandising (admittedly shocking for at least the last ten years) looks to be heading in the right direction. Nice one!

Great range of merch and a Liverpool One location? At last. Well done to the club, this has been needed for a while. I’ll certainly be spending a bit on the new online megastore!
Good start
What’s with the blue tops to the home kit’s socks? They should be all white!!! FFS!
Oh well, I never buy the socks anyway, but I think the lads would look better with plain white socks.
Overall, I’m not that keen on the training range. What’s with all the wavy lines, and why do the t-shirts appear to have massive sleeves? Is it an optical illusion? I guess some people will love the range, but if we all liked the same styles the world would be a boring place.
I moaned about the Umbro kit because it was straight out of a mould and loads of other teams had very slight variations of it, but I actually quite liked the training stuff. I bought a few of the Umbro training tops when the OS had the fire sale and everything was going at 50%. Not feeling the new stuff at all, but love it or hate it, I will definitely be getting a home shirt. It’s mandatory.
Much better on the effort though from the club.
COYB!!
Transfer market money? Let’s hope so.
Can’t believe I now have a choice of 4 different ties that I can wear to work ! Wonder why my Chelski-supporting boss will think about that....
Although its totally ridiculous I quite like this (good for your desk at work):

The canvases are good too, the Alan Ball one looks really classy (shame about the ’new’ Everton crest on them though).
I read an interview with Robert Elstone in the Daily Post recently and he was commenting on the new Everton shop to be situated in the Liverpool One development. He said that as it is the second shop it was to be called Everton Two. This means that the postal address would be: Everton Two, Liverpool One. Pure class...
I hope whoever thought of the Everton Two name got a massive pat on the back too. Simple, but pure genius.
The training stuff is gorgeous. I prefer it to the strip.
I must be one of the view that actually likes the home kit. I think it?s really nice and striking.
The away kit however, jeeeeeesus, I hope the drawings of that are blag! Who ever buys that, shame.
The new site is spot on, the merchandise is varied and looks really good quality. I think Kitbag and Le Coq have been a good move. I would prefer Nike but that's just vanity.
