Everton revealed their new 21/22 third kit, a reinterpretation of Everton’s pioneering away strip of the late 1950s.
Everton’s change strip between 1958 and 1960 featured a thick horizontal blue line across its middle, with thinner amber bands on either side.
Worn by the likes of Club Giants Dave Hickson, Bobby Collins and Brian Labone, the kit was the first to inject colour and design and begin to move away from the plain white shirt and dark shorts that had formed Everton’s away look since the early 1920s.

The recreation that Rafael Benitez’s side will wear in 2021/22 sees the stripe element flipped to run vertically down the front of the shirt, which also features the logo of the Club’s Principle Partner, Cazoo.
The patterns used on both the outfield and goalkeeper shirts also give a nod to Technical Partner hummel’s iconic chevrons and draw inspiration from the bow of a ship, continuing the nautical theme of the ‘Dazzle’ camouflage Everton home kit revealed earlier this month. The shorts and socks of the outfield shirt are ‘Royal Navy’ blue, with yellow detailing.
