Will leave the comments up to you guys.

It's a football kit ? not a fashion statement and if the opposing fans are that anal that our kit bothers them, then so what?

I guarantee that up close in the flesh it will look even better. I would suggest though that the only people that will look good in it are athletes though, and the seam at the front does take a little getting used to, it's a marked improvement on the lazy Umbro templates we've been handed recently a la West Ham, Sunderland, Blackburn etc.. a unique modern original design for a unique team.

I'm with Mark above, though... football shirts are for footballers not a fashion statement. This is loads better than a lot of new kits I've seen, wait 'til you see Spurs monstrosity! And the redshites black away refs top... at least they will be now blatant about referee favouritism.

And some of the other stuff looks proper smart like the training range and other stuff, it's a lot different to the other shirts we?ve had recently, and I've brought a new kit almost every season and looked at it and thought, "What's the diffrence?" At least theres a change here and it looks good, it's blue with a bit of white, it's got an Everton badge... what's not to like?!

And for anyone who says they're not going to buy it, fair play, do what you like... but really do stop going on about it like it's the end of the world! If Arteta left, fair enough, say it's a fucking disgrace blah blah blah, but you're all getting so upset over something that isn't going to make a lot of difference to us as a club! It's just a shirt!

Here was me hoping we'd go for something fresh and innovative for the coming season, seeing as we have now adopted the mantle of a club who is renowned for blooding talented and promising youngsters, all I see when I look at that kit is a second rate kit designer stuck in a timewarp who has merely thrown a few hotch-potched ideas into the mix. Fair enough, they've rather surprisingly opted for Leon Osman as the model, and let's face it, he could make a Hugo Boss suit look raggy-arse!

I was just hoping for something fresher that makes a statement, and I honestly can't see kids running out in their droves to snap up this design. Something along the lines of the Italy shirt made by kappa, with it's slimmer fit, modern print and fresh detail would be what I was expecting, I think Portsmouth and Chelsea have gone down similar lines with their kits recently also. (I do take on board the issues that your average 20 stone beer-guzzling fan might have with this - but then again, we do sell polo shirts in the merchandise store!)

Every Evertonian I speak to at the moment crows about the expectations of youth with the promise of Rodwell, Gosling, Vaughan et al, and that hopefully this is the dawn of an exciting new era for our beloved club - surely this year more than any other, would have been the right time to throw out something more bold and daring???

I fully expect a barrage of protests from all you historical blues out there, but personally I am thinking of the future right now, and so might I add, are the 4 teams we're trying to catch!!!!
