Everton have released their third kit for the 2025/26 with the River Mersey serving as design inspiration.
In partnership with Castore, the jersey, much like their home and away shirts, pays homage to the team’s new waterfront stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
“The black shirt, featuring a crew neck collar and Prince Rupert’s Tower icon on the chest, incorporates an abstract blue and yellow pattern that repeats through the body and mimics the flow of the river past Everton’s new stadium, which was opened with a 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday,” said the club website.
“The 2025/26 third shirt, available in short sleeve only, is complemented by black shorts that feature a blue and yellow trim, a flat finish waistband, concealed draw cords and the tower icon on the right thigh.
“Black socks with blue and yellow stripes on the fold-over mirror the colour scheme, while the tower icon on the shin and trademark Castore wings on the calf complete the look.
The striking visual motif on the front of the shirt is influenced by the work of local graphic artist Neil Keating. Keating’s street art described as “colourful, emotionally resonant and culturally grounded” can be found around the city of Liverpool.
The artist also makes a cameo in the jersey announcement video along with summer signings Jack Grealish, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, and Mark Travers, among others.
