The retro hummel offering is inspired by the kit worn by the Everton team of 1881/82 – a side that came to be nicknamed ‘The Black Watch’ – and is available to pre-order online or in store from today.
The black shirt with statement burnt orange sash and accompanying black shorts and black socks will be on sale in store, from Friday 4 June, and will be worn by the First Team for Sunday’s final Premier League fixture of the season away at Manchester City.
The first wave of the 2021/22 training range is also available to pre-order now, ahead of release online and in-store on Friday 4 June.A successful first year of Everton’s technical partnership with iconic Danish sportswear brand hummel saw the Club and its retail partner Fanatics, a global leader in licensed sports merchandise, achieve record sales across all three 2020/21 kits.
As part of the Everton for Change initiative – the Club’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and raising sustainability awareness – Everton’s home, away and third kits for the 2021/22 season will again be environmentally friendly, with the Blues becoming the first club to launch a kit featuring hummel’s ECO8 technology, meaning each shirt is manufactured from high-performing polyester produced from up to eight recycled plastic bottles.
The authentic nod to the ‘Black Watch’ kit of 1881/82 – the third season of Everton’s existence – comes following fan calls for the revered strip to be replicated and to celebrate the Club’s role as a pillar of the community for more than 140 years. The original strip was worn for home matches – then a series of friendlies and local cup fixtures played on Stanley Park – with Everton not adopting its famous royal blue jersey until 20 years later in 1901.Alan McTavish, Commercial Director at Everton, said: “We are excited to be launching the first of three new kits on the back of what was a fantastic first year of our partnership with hummel.
"Last year's campaign celebrated the strong bond between the football club and our diverse fan base and, once again, hummel has demonstrated its understanding of Everton and Evertonians with a kit that pays homage to our formative years.
"The classic-looking retro design leans on the deepest roots of our history but, crucially, is still contemporary in style, cutting edge in terms of its sustainable technology and – following three record-breaking kits last season - sure to strike a chord with our fans across the globe.”
Boasting a classic collar with rib inserts, the new away shirt balances retro and modern styles, offering a comfortable fit for players and fans alike.
Mesh panelling under the arms and down the sides works alongside vents at the bottom of the shirt to ensure breathability and enable high-level performance, while the polyester created using hummel’s ECO8 technology gives the kit a rich, silk-like feel.
