Everton officially unveil 2015-16 home kit

ItÂ’s a shirt you could wear for a few seasons to come as long as the manufacturer or sponsor doesnÂ’t change.

Way too much white on the kit, we look like flippin Birmingham.

Why not just have a straight V-neck like on the babyÂ’s tops?

The babyÂ’s ones are better in my opinion.

Only a 5/10 kit, not as smart as the one we have wore this season and I wouldnÂ’t say itÂ’s one of UmbroÂ’s better attempts like the simple stylish 2010/11 design.

But itÂ’s just a kit and no doubt weÂ’ll grow used to it.

The Danke kit was and still is the best. Proper collar too!

Loved that kit we won the 95 cup in.
I actually have the retro top with Ferguson on the back, bought as a present.

That type of V neck with the stupid panel across has never worked in my opinion on football shirts.

A straight white V would have been ideal here but it just looks overcooked.

LetÂ’s hope the away & alternate kits are better.

ItÂ’s the talent it houses that really interests me.

The shirts are an abomination, look like Bermuda shorts from the 80Â’s.

Socks are ok though!

I will however be getting one as I won a bet with my redshite friend who has to buy one for me. Nothing sweeter than that!

I assume someone at Umbro had the option of going for the same one as the infants kits but thought better to complete the trio of filled in vee-necks weÂ’ve had (weÂ’re now on small in case anyoneÂ’s wondering).

If you look at the arms and the basic shape of the tops, they look (in time honored Umbro/Everton tradition) like a replica of the previous kit but with a different neckline. I like the shorts and socks and overall its okay but I was expecting it to be better, Le Coq have made the best kits for us by some distance.

That shirt would have been outstanding without that white panel, itÂ’s strange how one small detail can totally turn a good shirt into a cheap looking bad one.

Checking out the pictures again on the OS, I just donÂ’t like it!

We have had a good 10 yearÂ’s of shirts with comfortable necks but this is definitely back to a scissors job.

For this reason alone IÂ’m ranking this design up there with the late 90Â’s pale blue, yellow band One 2 One monstrosity and that 2009 week attempt by Le Coq Sportif of recreating the 1984 kit.

Yak!

So begs the question why do it at all??

Well, they have to try and sell it and itÂ’s better than my marketing campaign... "It costs about a fiver to make, is made out of plastics, itches the fuck out of you and youÂ’ll sweat like a pig."

Nowhere near this seasonÂ’s design, too much white on the shirt with that stupid neck.

I know there are only so many possibilities, but isnÂ’t this years kit almost a repeat of this?

The shirt is nice but the shorts are awful!

Another new kit will be out next May.

Same old bi-polar Everton! We never seem to get it just right (although I really liked the last Le Coq home shirt with the flash of gold inside a proper collar).

Let’s hope the away shirts are more imaginative and appealing – I’m picking an amber away and a grey third shirt. We seem to be on a black / white / gold / grey rotation ... With a pink roughy thrown in occasionally.

Lots of kits are now Â’retro basedÂ’ (this new one looks like the one worn by Collins and Hickson in the late 50s) so we canÂ’t be far off black with the salmon diagonal...

Would I buy any of it? – No!

GK Strip is fine... we just need somebody to wear it who can catch the ball I guess.

I donÂ’t like the blue band at the top of the socks.

IÂ’m glad we are back to white socks though.

It would be better still if it was easier to actually buy the damn things.

I've just been watching a DVD of the 1966 Cup Final v Sheff Weds. That for me will always be the real Everton and this one is pretty close. Plain white shorts would have worked better.

ps: Anyone know what happened to Mike Trebilcock who scored two of our three goals in that final?

WonÂ’t be getting it, but on the plus side it does remind me a bit of the 1999-2000 kit. That season we only finished 13th after scaling the heights of 6th in February. However, there were some high scoring games we won, including the 5-0 over Sunderland and 4-0 at West Ham.

Not to mention what we did at Anfield...

According to the link below, "He now works for a removal company in Darwin, coaching an amateur team called The Northern Lions who play in a Sunday League and also does a spot on a radio sports show on Saturdays. He still makes occasional trips back to England and always drops in to Goodison Park where he is accorded hero status by older Evertonians."

I donÂ’t know how old that information is.

Mike Trebilcock

Agree with the posts admiring the Danka sponsored Â’95 shirt , as worn by our FA cup winners, that was our best in a while, and the black/navy tinge to the shirt detail made us look mean, to suit our Dogs of War team!

As others have said, it would be nice to see a classy away strip, I didnÂ’t like the white & cranberry effort this season, though I really liked the "vanilla" kit we wore (only once?) when we beat Chelsea in the cup at Stamford Bridge in that shoot out. Oh joy. COYB

I think they should have like 3-4 fat fans model the kit to mix it up a bit.

Serious beer-bellies and chest hair popping out of the white vee-neck.

ThatÂ’d be mustard.

I would like to see the following from Umbro season 2016-17:

Royal blue shirt with a white crew collar, classic Umbro diamond trim from collar down shoulder and arm, crest (sponsors logo).

White shorts with royal blue diamond trim.

White socks.

Have to add my weight to the Danka '95 strip as well.

The best kit was the one I was photographed in aged 7 (1973) in Ariel Street, Bootle - proper white collar, white shorts, white socks.
And an iron-on number 7 on the back.

(I've got that framed in the Blue Room of my house despite the (sadly) Bay City Rollers style haircut of the era - though it certainly wasn't styled).

What a prat Howard looks in that photo.

The players took some hard knocks, got up and carried on, no rolling around in agony for five minutes. Shorts were pressed (honestly), and had knife-edge creases. Both teams showed attacking flair that seems to have disappeared from the game.

I wish RM would play the goals by Trebilcock and Temple over and again to Rom and say to him "That's what a striker does when he gets a sniff of goal". No mucking about, they just hit the bloody thing and it was in!

Back to Trebilcock, your info seems good Patrick and the nice thing is those kids don't appear to know what a football hero he once was. He's a quiet unassuming man who doesn't brag about his FA Cup exploits.

One thing for sure there will always be a difference of opinion... As long as we never get a crazy overseas chairman who wants to change our Royal Blue iconic colours, I really don’t care.
