Everton launch new third kit

A shirt to stroll around and look languid in, if ever I saw one.

Love the blue and the amber, this is truly awful.

Everton play in Blue. It is occasionally necessary to change when there is a clash. Anything else is nothing more than a money-grubbing exercise by kit manufacturers and sponsors.

Our Amber kit won't clash with anything that clashes with the Blue one. So, if people refuse to buy 3rd choice kits clubs will eventually stop trying to push them on to us.

As long as there are people who seem to have more money than sense, then this disease will continue to spread.

But I agree with Martin (11). 3rd kits are nothing but a money grabbing exercise and should be banned by Fifa.

Does no-one at the club remember when Man Utd played half a match in grey and the players could not see one another. Well, in my opinion, this dysentery green is one stage worse.

Let’s pray this doesn’t get many outings. Truly awful colour kit.

The slight downside is the vertical pale / off-white vertical stripes. I hope they are less noticeable in real life, they are simply not needed and do nothing for me.

Loved the home kit, I don't like the away kit colour, I'm not a fan of amber, yellow or orange kits unless you're Brazil or Holland.

Yes its all a marketing ploy but our 3rd kits have been out nicest kits over the last 8 years, just a shame they are not the away kit as we hardly ever play in our 3rd kits.

Along with a stadium update, it's the first time I've heard any positive Everton news.

Roll on Messi to Everton transfer news.

It's the way to go.

Last season's dark navy blue 3rd kit, was quite non-descript. The colour, in and of itself, can be classy. But when the players are decked out fully in it, it looks like some training kit of sorts. Perhaps it's the fact both shirt and shorts were of the same dark navy blue colour.

For the second kit, the typical yellow/amber, when was the last time we had both shirt and shorts yellow/amber? I think it's our last title winning season. That's worth a shot, but somehow when we have had yellow tops in the past few years, we always had dark shorts.

Jesus Murphy... drop the third kit and buy an engine for the midfield.

I seem to recall the FA trying to prevent the fans being ripped off by the clubs in this way following a PR gaff at Newcastle but nothing came of it.

The puzzling question is why the fans fall for it.

Be careful though – last time I said something about fans queuing up to be mugged, my loyalty to the Blues was called into question... when, to me, it's a question of club loyalty to its fans.

I'm pretty sure all clubs have 3 kits, don't they?

Signed anyone yet?

As said above, third kits are mostly just business.

Yuck.

But I'm with ya, Jamie -- the hummel hangers are way cool.

Although our chums in the media are doing a great job inventing players we could be linked with but almost certainly won't sign...

We haven't got a new ground and we won't probably be getting one ever.

But we have an utterly pointless 3rd kit.

Great news.

Errr yer wha? Don't blame me – I can do yiz a new tarmac drive or dig some holes for yer but I'm not renowned for my fashion sense.

ps: I like it!

Are you sure that wasn't George Burns?

Goalies kit looks cool though.

I also remember and impressive launch with the players drawn like comic book heroes. Here, they have just hung the kit on a pole. But what would really improve it would be it being worn buy our new midfielders!

This is just the exact same kit in a colour no-one could possibly want?

Weird choice and I'll give it the tag of the worst kit we've ever released.

If going to have a third kit then should really make some kind of radical statement about the club or noble cause rather than small time mediocrity rag trade off-cut.
