Blues to debut new third kit at Bournemouth

About time all clubs showed some imagination with design instead of just different combinations of solid colours.

Brings me back to the Dutch jersey from Euro 88. The Germans also had some great kits around that time.

You knew the answer to your rhetorical question before you even typed it.

I like the jersey. Trendy looking, cool, but not over the top. With the tower it ties everything in.

I like it a lot.

EDIT - I've decided to buy this one. It's mint. The more I look at it the more I like it.

I'd call it a “nice legs, shame about the face“ kind of kit.

They must think that all supporters are on the astronomical earnings of the players, to be able to participate in all the promotions, and support the team on a regular basis.

I like this shirt. About to order one right now actually.

On another note, I hope Rovio have not missed a beat and made it possible for Sig, Theo and Cenk to rip to pieces some bird called Liver. It's only a game.

And Tony @ 12. Agree, why change shirts when there is no colour clash, but then you do give the reason why: money.

That stuff that buys the players the supporters demand we recruit, the same stuff that pays them the salaries they demand.

These are merchandise options for people who want to buy them. If the club only produced one shirt, in blue, they would rightly be taken to task for being horrible at marketing. For God's sake, it's just another shirt that they are giving their customers the option to buy. Maybe we should all drive the same car, live in the same house and eat and drink the same food every day too, right? What's with all these different beer options anyway?

Every Premier League team has 3 kits every season so it's just part 'n' parcel.

Here's a thought, when was the last time anyone anywhere ever won a thing wearing Umbro? My guess is it wasn't this century. Can you imagine Real Madrid or Barcelona wearing this shite?

Why can't we wear something classy like Adidas just for once? Instead, it's always the Umbro cloak of shame, the go-to kit for teams that don't win trophies.

This would be us: Link

Not only are Adidas selling the Leicester kit as a training kit for £15 minus the badges, it's also the same as the Lyon one with a different colour.

Yeah, Adidas, really classy.

Why the fuck do we need a Rupert's Tower reference plastered all over the shirt when it's already on the badge? And why aren't we wearing Blue tomorrow, ffs???

Nike, Adidas, Umbro – whatever the manufacturer they are, all fairly grim. As a bit of an old arse – can we please have a simple amber-and-blue away strip next year?

I think Darren is on to something with the North Face comment; perhaps we should get them to do the kit next year – that would be a hit with the kids.

Surely the problem is too many kits for each team each season, and there's fashions to follow, so we end up with unimaginative shite.

We haven't had a yellow one for a while... maybe next year. These kit changes each year are ridiculous though. Every two years minimum, unless sponsorship changes of course.

That said l don't care what the kit is like as long as we win tomorrow, would love to see Tom have a blinder

I put the roof over your head, I feed you, I pay for the water, electricity, sports..., everything.

If I feel like buying you a jersey I will.

Seriously, how can we afford this "to keep up with the Jones's because little Timmy wants it" attitude? Just fuck off with that please.

Dermot @16 - LOL'd - literally.

I'm getting the jersey. M-I-N-T.

The new fan-led design is inspired by the iconic Prince Rupert's Tower which sits proudly on the Club's crest. On the white jersey, the tower is featured as an abstract graphic across the chest in Everton blue, with Umbro's iconic running diamonds on the cuff in peacoat blue,

So much time and energy spent by so many people and all they had to do was throw two rival club's jerseys into a washing machine and hey presto!

Speaking of sponsors, has anyone seen the creepy "bird" versions of Theo Walcott, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Cenk Tosun that have been added to whatever the latest Angry Birds game is? Truly the stuff of nightmares, LOL.

To each their own.

The irony isn't lost on me that a laughable club should wear a laughable kit.

I'd be happy with the home blue (though I personally can't wear it) and the Blackwatch for away games.

I think the third kit looks like a market-stall knock-off, it looks like tee-shirt from a fashion range rather than a footie top. A hard pass from me.

The 2013-14 was a pretty good away kit.

Each to their own, I'll be donning the salmon and navy stripes tomorrow.

My kids love this shirt and that we have angry birds on the sleeve. There not big fans of SportPesa. I think if we partnered with Fortnite they would be constantly pestering me for every bit of kit. So would their mates here in Australia. We would probably pick up millions of new junior fans.

It's the point isn't it? Make money. Interest young supporters.

I could get a generic one, l suppose?

Its more 90's kit if anything. Mainly because of the stuff across it which is the tepid tower reference.

I like it. Very good for summer.

Someone mentioned black. There was an all black one a few years ago that was absolutely top. Saw a lad wearing it at the Southampton game, it still looks boss.

Best top of recent times though has been that all blue Goodison 125th Anniversary from last year. They should have just made that the top for the season it was brilliant.

Have to agree the Angry Birds logo does get the kids attention and we need to keep attracting the next generation.

Have you tried the tops from Toffee Art... very good quality and great designs. Recommended!

My favourite third kit for the kids was the Marvel inspired one. Dark Green with a bit of orange.

Those kind of links are great for the next generation of blues.
