Possible leak of 2013-14 strips

I don't like the blue on the away kit.

Well...I mean it'll be fine with me if it's that size

(anymore than 2 millimeters though...).

For what it's worth, the word is these are faked kits but provide a talking point and possible comparison with the actual one when it's released.

the badge looks ok,they've got used to it now lets not change next year,it's all blown over,these c**ts don't know what they like"

I wonder who leaked it?

It needs stopping!!!

Peter 268 - is right. If shirt sales don't drop they'll find a way of keeping the badge permenantley.

Can you imagine if they'd worn the new kit last game of the season.....they know they couldn't put that shit on the shirts cos everyone would be saying "what the fuck is that?"

But then if they'd had the new kit with the proper badge they wouldn't be able to kid us that all the merchandise has been made now so we'll have to review it next year

We need to pressure them to renew the current crest on the new kit and fuck that other mess into history

John 225, I can't agree on the 'quality' of the Umbro kits, I remember the 94-95 kit (the NEC one replaced by 'danka' for the cup final) had a little shield at the bottom of the v-neck collar which started off as a nice detail but after a few washes and a bit of argy bargy ended up hanging on by a thread.. Anyone have the same experience?

I remember the 1999-2000 kit

My 3 kids kits being recalled because the laddered side on them went funny after a wash

Fair enough they were replaced no problem can't complain,always liked the umbra kits myself

If this is the new kit, it's very simplistic but not bad in any way (the badge changing back won't change the style of the jersey).

I actually really like that away kit too.

I'm not a fan.

Not sure about the away shirt. Carragher was skittin' about our "Scotland" kit last week on Sky... He's got a point; Walter Smith decked us out in navy blue and many young Evertonians think it's our proper colour.

Can only think of Wimbledon years ago and Millwall last season who have changed their shade of blue from Royal to Navy.

Remind him in Europe they do a red version of us.

We should always be

Blue Shirts - White Shorts - White Socks / Stockings

Pure Class.

My lad has a birthday in June but the kit is never out in time for it, whereas his RS mates (even though they're kids they're still RS to me) have their new kits. Two team city and every year they steal a march.

"Everton wanted a unified kit and so, to avoid purchasing a brand new one, they dyed all the various shirts of their players black! A two-inch wide scarlet sash was added and Everton rejoiced in the nickname, The Black Watch - after the famous military regiment.

Other colours were adopted as time passed, until the team settled for Royal Blue for the 1901-02 season"

All I'd add is that I was told years ago by those who were actually around at the time that the sash was "ruby"

I hope the people that said they wouldn't buy this aren't changing their minds – the whole thing is a joke... but if they get their sales then the joke will be on us,.. erm... even moreso.

The "one to one" kit around '97 looked pretty spectacular and remains my favourite.

I have liked all the ones with white socks over the years, especially 82/83, 93-95, 05/06, 07/08, 08/09 and 10/11. All by Umbro except the last one. I kind of miss Umbro you know. Le Coq don't wash up too well and Nike are trying to dictate colours of shorts, the badge etc and £50 for a Shirt is taking the P***..

Bring back Umbro, but more importantly, BRING BACK WHITE SOCKS! :)

shite badge though

*Cocks gun and raises to temple*

What was wrong with the yellow shirt?

We all sing "and if you know your history" it just seems a pity that the people who make the decisions don't!

I think Amber and yellow only appeared in the late sixties and lasted until around 1982 and we have had white, silver grey, black, pink, salmon pink and navy, as well. Just about everything except red or green.

I guess we all have our favourites and for me anything other than white socks on the Home Kit makes us look like Ipswich, Birmingham, Leicester or Millwall, ie a lacking in a bit of class. White socks is classic Everton for me and many others, but of course other fans won't agree.

We are all irrational fools - we must be, it's the only thing that explains why we do this to ourselves for a litetime and let our hearts rule our heads!

(home kits via the link towards the top of the page)

the collar opens to give white detail, but nowerdays if your going to be one of the cool kids you have to do your top button up ... apparenty.

would love the black away kit without the blue detail and a ruby sash.

first off, I remember when the 1878 and Everton was added to the badge and everybody around was kicking off coz they wanted to keep the traditional badge with the shield and scroll work, as the additions ruined the badge and were unnecessary and to be honest at the time I agreed and to this day I didn't like the badge with the additions. Now, I bet 90% of those who complained about that change are the ones complaining again about changing a badge they didn't like in the first place.

If they kept the current badge and added the scroll work back under the shield, I would be satisfied myself. The reality is the old design, that's about 12 years old or so always looked too busy on the shirt. I'm not a fan of the new badge but I have to say it does look better on the shirt than on its own; it's cleaner than the current one.

As for all the whiners who hate the badge, not buying the shirt, blah blah blah, remember reduced merchandise sales = less cash for the manger the next season which you will also whine about too.

Support the club, buy the shirt and keep what will become a collectors item
