This is the new Everton 16/17 Home kit by Umbro, who have drawn inspiration from Goodison Park for the Blues’ 2016/17 home kit.
The new strip celebrates the home of the Blues and includes the co-ordinates of the ‘Grand Old Lady’ in the back of the neck of the shirt.
Goodison Park is one of the world’s oldest purpose-built and most famous football stadia, hosting more top-flight games than any other stadium in England and home to a plethora of legendary footballing moments and Everton players, including Dixie Dean, Alan Ball and Alex Young.
In addition to boasting such a rich history, the stadium also features the famed criss-cross architectural signature of Archibald Leitch, who designed the Bullens Road stand.
This iconic design is also included on the shirt, with Umbro creating a Leitch-style graphic to appear above the co-ordinates of Goodison Park.
The 2016/17 home shirt, in traditional Everton blue, features a white rib collar and contrasting white and yellow detailing on the cuffs.
The shirt boasts the latest in technical innovation and includes a breathable structured mesh, featuring a graphic embossed panel, on the lower front side and back of the shirt.
The white shorts have a tailored silhouette with a blue and yellow trim, a subtle nod to the Umbro kit of 1997. White socks with a comfortable cotton footbed and a blue and yellow contrast stripe complete the kit.
