A third Everton kit for the 2026-27 season has been released in a sickly green colour that fails to conjure up the desired image of a verdant forest, which presumably existed in prehistoric times at the location of Finch Farm.   

The kit’s shirt, which features the branding of main sponsor CMC Markets and sleeve sponsor, the gambling entity Stake.com, is green, complemented by a dark green and orange trim on the round neck collar and sleeves.

The shirt is accompanied by dark green shorts with green and orange trim, styled with a flat-finish waistband and concealed draw cords. The Everton crest appears on the right thigh, opposite the signature Castore wings. Pale green socks with dark green and orange trim sport ‘EFC’ lettering on the shin, with Castore wings on the calf completing the look.

The light blue round-necked goalkeeper third kit, which is only available in Replica version, features a black collar and sleeve trim, with matching shorts and socks which look a lot better.

Has anyone seen this hideous green 3rd kit??

I doubt they'll be selling many of them.

Goals fly in we will all love it then.

I support good footy and don't care about shirt colours.

Still bet we sell quite a few though.

I like it.

I'm less keen on them using AI slop to advertise it.

Nobody actually gives a shit what the players are wearing once they're watching the game anyway, and nobody is forcing you to waste your money buying a shirt.

The models are trainee TW contributors practicing a bad Saturday approach.

I don't think these are Evertoinians in this pic, come on, their faces are way too happy !!
Like the kit though.

First thing that came to mind was South Africa. Looks very much like their colours.
I don't hate it, I've seen worse.

Not arsed about kits, for the first team,it’s what’s inside that counts.
Kits are for kids.

Did they just break the news to the models that Moyes was getting a contract extension?
Paul Kossoff
21 Posted 27/08/2026 at 23:33:50
Just ordered two. It was the Pale green socks with dark green and orange trim sport ‘EFC’ lettering on the shin, with Castore wings on the calf completing the look
that broke the deal fo me 🙃

As a wise...erm, jedi frog once said - easy being green, it is not.

Fine, I will buy some eyedrops to endure it. This too, is Moyes's fault.
Eric Myles

Like the shirt, not arsed about shorts and socks.

I rarely pay attention to kit, but... if I saw this growing in my backyard, I would reach for the Roundup.

And the models all have that Schneiderlin expression.

Ugh.

"existed in prehistoric times at Finch Farm"...last week if this is a guide to their thinking.

Why is a third kit necessary and are there many teams where our first two kits match the oppositions main colours? I don't understand why we sometimes change from the Royal Blue when there is no colour clash.

Mind you, this does offer a marketing opportunity, packs of scarfs in the three shirt colour options and one white one for when we all give up on this rubbish.

The photo looks like a flyer for some budget late 90s American slasher set in the woods, a bunch of "models" that I have no clue who any of them are, pouting moodily in some trees lol

Roundup is illegal now Mike #25.

Roundup is fully legal in 'merica Eric.

Didn't Moyes exist in prehistoric times at Finch Farm?

And why couldn't 3 of the first team squad model the shirts, haven't got a clue who they are.

The game's gone potty.
Eric Myles
31 Posted 28/08/2026 at 07:21:02
Really Paul #29? I thought that was where it was banned originally, did they change the chemistry?

I tried to get some in Thailand for a weed problem in the condo and there was no way.
John Keating
32 Posted 28/08/2026 at 07:25:44
You have to wonder who comes up with the idea of colour and design of these kits. Whoever he/she/they are should be given a breath and blood test first.

Oh for the days when we just had 2 strips, plain, no logos, just a number on the back, 2 to 11.
Eric Myles
33 Posted 28/08/2026 at 07:34:15
We played 'goalie in and out' back in those days then John?

I only want to see us play in amber and Blue or at a stretch white and Blue for away kits, plus Castore are snide,
Paul Griffiths
35 Posted 28/08/2026 at 07:45:48
Land of the Free. Land of Round Up. There have been attempts to ban it in localities Eric.

'There is no nationwide or statewide ban on Roundup in the U.S., but numerous local municipal bans, congressional proposals, and state-level restrictions have been attempted or enacted. Federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency maintain that glyphosate is safe when used according to label instructions'.

My favourite Everton top was the black kejian top loved it.

I really like it, that's 2 out of three of our kits that I love. Makes a change.

Any of these "models" auditioning to see if they look good in green playing as a right back at all?

you must be a young lad.

Goalies never had a number just the outfield players!!!!

Eric @28
Roundup (glysophate) is under review and legal in Uk until a decision on its continued use is made in December. As far as I know the only country to have banned it's use is Vietnam.

https://www.hse.gov.uk/pesticides/active-substances/glyphosate-renewal.htm

Third shirts should be banned
Mike Powell
42 Posted 28/08/2026 at 09:52:05
Got to be the worst kit ever, even the kids have said don't get me that it's minging
Phil Roberts
43 Posted 28/08/2026 at 10:26:32
Eric #28. It isn't. The weedkiller Glyphosphate is available in most places (and called Weedol amongst other names) and a ban is being looked at.

Seeds were genetically modified (by Monsanto originally) to be resistant to RoundUp (Glyphosphate) so the field could be sprayed before harvest to kill the weeds but the soybeans be unaffected. Even those seeds are not banned in UK but can only be used for animal feed and if used for human food it has to be labelled.

GM crops were the bain of my life from 1995 as a food ingredient buyer. I still bear the scars as you can see.

The amber training top with blue shorts and socks looked great for the warmup on Wednesday.

I love this kit.

Negative article, negative comments. Very much in line with a significant section of our fan base who seem to live to whine.
Andrew Ellams
47 Posted 28/08/2026 at 11:14:15
I'm always amazed by how many people are bothered about what players are wearing, especially 2nd and 3rd kits.

If they suddenly went green for the 1st kit I get it, but otherwise isn't all a bit so what?

Just can't understand those who complain about stability.

Mike #41, I live in Viet Nam, no idea why I couldn't get it in Thailand when I needed it then.

John #40, a young 68 1/4, guess it's 'cos I never stood behind the goals back in the day.

Phil #43, sounds like you maybe imbibed too much Weedol.

Monsanto Roundup Lawsuit Update It's perfectly safe 😂

Jeff #17. Kits are most definitely not "just for kids."

This is evidenced by the millions of adults that wear the kit of their favourite sports team around the world.

Also evidenced that in my later years, I'll still wear my Everton kit when possible.

It's horrible, but some like it!

It goes to show how different we all are.

Eric 50,

Yes, I guess right just a young lad!!

Lucky you, lovely country and great people Vietnam. Enjoy every minute there.

Moody models??? You mean a bunch of youngsters who apparently got dressed in the dark.

Is that fashion? Wearing a footy kit top over a smart shirt / a shirt that’s too big for you?

As bizarre as those horrendous ‘fat mudguard’ hair styles that are fashionable these days.

Quite like the kit though.
Jay Evans

Mark 46 - here, here.

Negative comments are one thing,
Negative articles - that’s up to the author …

A negative headline … that is a new low.

I don’t think this kit is sickly green.
As the locals would say, it’s heavy.

And sic.

So there you have it. Heavy and sic. Not sickly.
Dale Self

Okay then, we will go with 'shitey'.
Mike Corcoran

Rumour has it that this kit is what has fouled Davie’s mood this week
Paul Griffiths
58 Posted 29/08/2026 at 03:01:01
This kit is pond slime. It really is yucky. Not one of our lads would agree to wear it, so Saint Angus-the-Silent had to create 3 AI models. Worst kit launch in living memory. Maybe ever, Swamp sludge. Snot ooze.

Is that negative enough Jay (46) and Mark (55) 'here, here' (SIC, LOL).

Geezus, guys, it was just a joke about the Roundup.

I didn't mean to trigger a summit meeting.

Mike, we won the Roundup argument. Huzzah!

The pictures don’t capture the full effect.

I saw this kit yesterday and got a different perspective. Conjures up images of glorious springboks.

Treated yourself to a XL with Barry on the back then Dazza? Good choice.
