Bringing much needed flavour to the contemporary kit scene, Umbro have delivered once more in the shape of the 2018/19 Everton Third Kit. Inspired by a huge part of the club's heritage, it steps out with huge shapes and adds plenty to the party in doing so.
A fan-led design is inspired by the iconic Prince Rupert’s Tower which sits proudly on the Club’s crest. On the white jersey, the tower is featured as an abstract graphic across the chest in Everton blue, with Umbro’s iconic running diamonds on the cuff in peacoat blue, complementing the details in the collar and hem. The shirt is completed by a Prince Rupert’s Tower symbol on the backneck area, a design feature that runs across all of the Club’s 2018/19 shirts.
Set to be worn for the first time in Everton’s Premier League away trip to Bournemouth this weekend, the third strip is the final phase of the successful ‘Go On’ campaign, celebrating the Club, the fans and the dynamic Merseyside culture. Unlike many other clubs, the shirts worn by Everton players and supporters are identical in construction and look, further demonstrating the fan-centric approach of the Club and Umbro.
Naturally, complimenting a strong aesthetic with performance essentials, the new strip is constructed from lightweight, durable fabrics with an ergonomic fit that can withstand the pressure of the modern game, giving players and fans freedom of movement and comfort. The three shirts have breathable underarm mesh panels for enhanced ventilation and stretch for all wearers. Accompanying the jersey, the peacoat blue shorts feature a white trim on the legs alongside the Club and Umbro logos. The white socks feature a blue and white trim as well as the Umbro logo on the shin. A cotton footbed provides improved breathability and comfort.
The new Everton 2018/19 third strip is available to purchase now.
