The Kit Thread - Season 2021/22

[chrismpw]

Can't see Hamez in any of the press photos for it which would easily boost sales so looks like hes off next season

Saving him for the horrendous disappointment of the home kit.

How we should reveal our third kit, for a bit of balance

I don't know where some are getting the sash as being red on the new top. Here's the original next to the new one.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

So just to recap:

Everton have brought out a "Black Watch" kit that in fact isn't the red sash included in the "Black Watch" kit, but a "burnt orange" sash - and they're putting it on the backs of people from a sectarian scarred city like Liverpool...just when the Northern Ireland situation is getting out of hand again and could be adopted by bigoted and politically and religiously motivated elements.

Please, dont let anyone here say they cant or dont see the ramifications of this ridiculous and disgraceful choice for an Everton kit.

What the bloody hell are you on about?
This is David Ike style lunacy.

This is dangerous conspiratorial thinking and shows an utter disregard for reality or critical decision making.

You've drawn a line between two utterly separate points and asserted there's a connection.

This is how we get anti 5G, anti vax, flat earthers etc.

Your epistemology is deeply broken.

This goes WAY, WAY beyond a football kit.

Love it. Fans just like to moan. Even if it was red (which is isn't) get over it ffs.

 

[Azza]

The club haven't done it out of malice. They did it because they're clueless corporates.

Since when did the Orange Order have a monopoly on the orange sash?

 

[Yarrgh]

What if it's an Orange sash?

Apparently we feel like we have to go on a march where we're not wanted just to prove a point.

 

[Nymzee]

He's just angry the club clearly prefer oranges to lemons.

[Stav1985]

I bet all the lads in Southport love this kit.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

There are people who remain blissfully unaware of such associations. Good luck to them. I envy them. But that doesn't mean the associations aren't there.

The bottom line is that you cant do stuff like this in Liverpool without it alienating a lot of people. And Everton FC should have known that before they produced this colour and design.

As I said above - and despite all the ribbing I'm getting right now - there will be a LOT of people who post on this forum who will agree with that point being made.

You just dont mess around with symbolism like this. That's the bottom line.

Lot of flat eaters too.

No mate. I wont be. Dont kid yourself this comes across as nothing. If you think that way you dont come from Liverpool.

No true scotsman fallacy.

 

[blue to the bone]

I'll absolutely buy that .
Next march when its reduced to 20 quid.
Tight git me.

Mate??

 

[Sadken]

It's mean, menacing and nasty, just like our midfield.

I’m born and bred in Liverpool, I don’t associate it with the troubles in Northern Ireland, don’t speak for everyone
