I like the kit, but this absolute bollocks that they're coming out with like with the home kit is just un-necessary.
"The black and yellow strip – the second to be launched by Everton and new Technical Partner Castore – takes inspiration from the famous atmospheric nights that have played out under the glow of the stadium’s floodlights.
From the 1985 European Cup Winners' Cup semi-final against Bayern Munich, to a bullet Duncan Ferguson header against Manchester United that shook the Gwladys Street, and last season’s unforgettable 2-0 derby win over Liverpool, a floodlit Goodison has time and again provided the stage for some of the most iconic moments in Everton history.
And imitating light through a contemporary geometric pattern, eye-catching yellow collar and sock trims and a bold yellow Prince Rupert's Tower icon, the away offering is the latest in a series of Castore kits for 2024/25 that find different ways of paying homage to the Grand Old Lady in the stadium’s final season.

I’m nitpicking here but why don’t they have a link to the online shop in a content piece that’s wanting you to buy something?
They must have heard you mate.

Don’t love it. I also don’t love the concept of this shirt representing “Goodison under the lights.”
It’s just a black shirt with yellow lettering and logo. Hardly enough detail to represent “Goodison under the lights.” Also, I have no idea how that geometric pattern is supposed to represent anything that remotely resembles the old lady.

Considering the backlash a few years ago when the logo was changed Im surprised there isnt a larger fume over that thing they have put on the chest.

Not for me, don't really like the yellow. Wish we would embrace the amber again.

Lovely effort from Castore (as is the home). Just got to hope it doesn't fall apart!

That was a change to the club crest tho. This is a modern take on a retro look, which a number of club do with their 2nd/3rd shirts (as have we for a few seasons now). Very different circumstances.

I’ve always been curious about this view but what has being an adult gig to do with buying/not buying shirts?
