Why did we play with them, and when did we stop?

I think you've been tangoed

I've spent the last few days looking for a sock supplier. Grand Old Team socks. Coming to a website near you soon.

We'll all be able to send eachother feet pics.

Just send the suckers a couple of balls of AMBER wool and tell the fools it's a sock jigsaw

As Eggs says, it was Amber not Orange. It was a little tweak when a kit clash occurred, rather than change the whole kit. Why we haven’t returned to this traditional change kit of amber shirts, blue shorts and amber socks? But then again, I’m still fuming about us not wearing blue socks with white tops for our regular kit. See 1966 cup final (our greatest ever line up btw)

Wasn't this so people could differentiate between the teams on old black and white tv? I'm sure I was told this years ago as red and blue look the same when there's no colour

…..AMBER not orange. The best away kit ever ffs

Imagine @davek if Everton played in orange.

Was it Amber top, royal blue shorts and Amber socks ( and for those who adored him like me) white boots...

What's the difference between amber and orange?

What's the difference between amber and orange?

One is an ancient fossilised tree sap, the other grows on trees?

I'm a big fan of playing in blue socks. And I'm probably the odd one out, but I like the amber socks as well.

To compliment Alan Ball's hair
When he moved to Arsenal

It's funny because I have an amber and blue scarf that I take to games sometimes in the winter, and supporters of both the other sides and even some of my fellow Evertonians are confused by it

I've always known the main colours of Everton to be Blue, White and Amber/Yellow, and that's coming from someone who grew up in the 90's

Nah, blue looked distinctly darker than red google Everton Vs Man U Aug 1967
