Everton FC 2017/18 Umbro Home Kit

Barclay Premier League side Everton Football Club today revealed their 2017/18 home kit from official outfitter Umbro. Released with the hashtag #TogetherBlue, the new Toffees shirt is the first since the 2014/15 season to have no white or yellow detailing other than Umbro and shirt sponsor branding along with the club crest.

It will be available in the lead up to the 17/18 season at World Soccer Shop, Kitbag, Subside Sports, Lovell Soccer and UK Soccer Shop.

According to Everton FC: The new design sees the Club return to the classic Umbro diamond graphic running down the sleeves and a contrasting diamond pattern featuring on the side of the shorts, combining the spirit of the past with the excitement of the future.

The kit has been unveiled in a campaign entitled ‘Together Blue’ – celebrating the strong local contingent of players in the Everton squad.

The #TogetherBlue campaign was inspired by the legacy of Dixie Dean, a local player, Evertonian and Club legend who scored an astonishing 383 goals in his 12 years at Goodison Park, including an unbeaten 60 league strikes in a single campaign.

In honour of this, the design includes a Dixie Dean motif on the back of the neck, as chosen by Evertonians earlier this season in a fan vote through the Club’s official Fans’ Forum.

The local connection remains evident in Everton’s modern philosophy and, to help launch the 2017/18 home kit, first team players, and local lads, Ross Barkley, Leighton Baines and Tom Davies were joined by Under-23 players and Premier League 2 winners Jonjoe Kenny and Joe Williams to proudly reveal their own stories of growing up as Blues in a reveal video.

Designed to aid performance, the ‘pique fabric’ on the main body of the shirt offers a classic look, comfort and durability for the players while the ergonomically structured mesh in the underarm area helps with breathability.

The white shorts also have a running diamond graphic which features in contrast side panels and the woven fabric offers extra movement and an improved fit. The white performance socks have a comfortable cotton footbed and a contrast blue stripe with the Umbro logo to complete the kit.
