The Kit Thread - Season 2021/22

[PaddyJames]

I hope the cryarses don't force the club to pull the kit from sale. I'd literally explode with rage.

I see what you inadvertently did there

 

[marnie]

Who's the our here?

The clubs history.

 

[collymcd]

The clubs history.

Right, I get you. Well said.

 

[Nymzee]

The whole timeline of this thing is a joke anyway.

1881 - Black Watch regiment founded.
1881/82 - Everton wear a kit that looked similar so were nicknamed The Black Watch.
1970 - Black Watch regiment in Ireland.
2021 - Irish people (and Dave) raging at a football kit with a history almost a hundred years older than The Troubles.

 

[bilu]

This city doesn't deal in this kind of bollix, take your secterian crap and follow Celtic or Rangers

Someone care to explain what the controversy here is? Am not from these parts so am curious to find out why the Irish evertonians are up in arms over our new kit

 

[marnie]

Right, I get you. Well said.

I could have worded it better.As in it's our clubs history lol xxx

I also read somewhere that it was thought the nickname may have came from the fact that the team regularly trained late into the night.

I don't know if this is true, but saw it earlier. It sounds plausible to me anyway

Did some reading on this. The Black Watch regiment actually has its roots in pre-Union Scotland in the 17th century.

It’s never been English, and it wasn’t even British in its founding.

We're replacing Z Cars with The Blue Sea of Ibrox

The most embarrassing thing about that is the terrible cropping job they've done when sticking their logo on a black background, state of it.

Irish people typically don't like the Colour Orange as it reminds them of thier inabiliity to tan well

 

[Nymzee]

If you're this offended by a footy kit I'd suspect you'd suit being a Liverpool fan more than Everton.

Penny Arcade I've heard

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Didnt Citeh themselves have an away kit just like this a few years back?
