Nike Serve Up 2013/14 Everton Home Kit
Next season will mark a new era for Everton Football Club - A new manager, a new captain and now a new kit. Nike have revealed the Toffees' new home shirt for the next chapter of the club's history, a classic design which is unmistakably Everton.
The shirt has undergone a few changes since last season including the introduction of a retro white collar, which replaces the v-neck design and an extra hoop is added to the sleeves as well as the new club crest featuring on the shirt for the first time. Martinez's men kick off their season away to Norwich before hosting West Brom at Goodison Park a week later where they'll be kitted up in the new home shirt.
The 2013/14 campaign will be Everton's second season with Nike after previously using Le Coq Sportif and Umbro. Everton are one of four Premier League teams to be wearing Nike next season along with both Manchester clubs and Arsenal.
Tech wise the shirt features Nike's Dri-Fit technology, which is designed to draw sweat away from the body to keep players cool. The shirt is a more tailored and athletic fit as a result of Nike running a pioneering programme to create 3D body scans of some of the world's leading players, so if you're not a fan of tight fit clothing go a size up. Nike have also managed to shed the shirt down to just 150g, that's 23% lighter than previous kits.
The shorts are plain white with a royal blue swoosh and Everton crest and match up with white socks featuring another royal blue swoosh and blue tips at the top to round off the typical Everton look. A decent look for Everton next season but we still reckon Fellaini and Baines will be wearing a different Nike kit come August...
The new Nike Everton Home Kit is available to pre-order now from selected online stockists ahead of its full launch on July 24. Let us know what you think of it.
