Everton and Umbro are 'together blue'.
Everton’s new home kit for the 2017/18 season has been released with a return to the classic Umbro diamond graphic down the sleeves.
The new design also has a contrasting diamond pattern featuring on the side of the shorts, combining the spirit of the past with the excitement of the future.
It’s all part of the club’s new campaign ‘Together Blue’, with a big focus on the local Everton players including Tom Davies, Ross Barkley and Leighton Baines who feature in the release video.
Umbro General Manager Anthony Little said: “The strong connection between the fans and players is one of the things that makes Everton special, everyone feels part of the Club and that is something we want to celebrate with Together Blue.
“The design of the new 2017/18 home kit proudly includes a nod to both our own and Everton’s traditions, while preparing the players, Club and its fans for an exciting future. We’re pleased to bring this to life using players at the Club that represent the idea of Together Blue perfectly.”
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.
The 2017/18 home kit will go on sale on Thursday 8 June online and will be available to purchase in men’s, women’s, junior and infant sizes.
