Looking at those kits makes me wonder would most Everton fans be o.k if the club went away from the normal plain Blue top and went with a totally unique top like the two above for one year and repeat this every 5 years or so similar to what the Wigan Warriors do.
I think having a one off anomaly makes the kit a lot more memorable for me.
Looking back, the kits which stand out in the minds of blues, are the Umbro strips down the sleeves, the bib, the White Vee neck, the 1995 home shirt, and the difference is, is that they're all unique, and rememberable.
If you started churning out weird kit, after weird kit, you soon start to try and out do each other and end up with something like....
I think Blue and Black, will be a refreshing change, and if it goes well, could easily have a second year, and then back to white for a good 5-6 years.
If we wanna [Poor language removed] about, make it a 3rd shirt, when we'll never wear it.
