Years ago on one of the U.S. tours the American commentator said we played in claret and cobalt.

Cobalt blue is a lovely colour but our sleeves have never been that shade. The hoops on our 1874 home shirt was probably the closest we got to cobalt.

that's the kind of shit that needs to stop. Get the claret and blue right and consistent kit to kit, manufacturer to manufacturer. Call it claret and blue only and forever. Not what some fucking Pantone chip says it is. I know it's a little thing but it's not a little thing if you want to connect with your audience. Just gives the impression of being out of touch.

I don't understand why there aren't set CMYK, RGB, etc, values for our specific claret & blue.

The manufacturers cant go wrong then because its just numbers...

I'm sure there is. Colours can change with light and material but we seem to be all over the place. Our badge and kit haven't even matched recently.

The first is the colour codes, in all varieties. The second is the design company who did the badge in 2016 and their brief.

I saw this on Twitter and thought I'd share here:

I briefly skimmed comments and the vid is more just as a before / after thing I think.

I saw that too.
As much as its a great idea, and extra £10 on top of £70, plus the faff of sending it away and hoping it comes back (unburnt) is too much of a ballache.

I don't understand why the kids kits are without the sponsor but the adults isn't available to buy without. You could have an addict or somebody from a religious group where gambling is forbidden who would like the shirt but would not buy it with that plastered on the front

Bit of a tangent, but a lovely nod to Archibald Leitch on the new Everton shirt

He says there are no little bobbles in a pic below as well but there absolutely is.

New shirt arrived today, as I have a weird compulsion to wear the latest one for 5 aside. It’s shit. Poor quality, and both sponsors look horrible.

Won't be bothering with it mate, so appreciate this confirmation that it's wank.

Hopefully the away or third are better, but Castore need to be binned off as soon as possible.
