Although Everton took to the pitch last night in the friendly against Bury with our more traditional home kit, it was the new ‘Angry Birds’ version as per the leak earlier in the week.

Following the 1-1 draw at Gigg Lane the club did also officially confirm the new black away kit.
With reaction being mixed from fans when the leak occurred, that trend simply continued and the away shirt for the season of 2018/19 is very much an either/or affair.
You either love it or you absolutely hate it.
With Everton’s only signings so far being with an eye to the future as we continue to tie Academy graduates down to new deals, and other transfer activity being departures, fans are also becoming frustrated with the lack of incomings. There’s plenty of speculation in the transfer rumour mill and some of the names we are being linked with would certainly tick a box or two – but fans want players over the line and out on the Goodison Park pitch wearing the shirt.
Seen it last week announce a signing

" but right now we're creating our future" How about signing some players to help our future?

Terrible how long did it take umbro to design that
— CARL MARTIN (@Carlmartin80) July 19, 2018
Once again the design and marketing team have had an absolute shocker. What lads want to wear a pink kit? Sales down guranteed in this one. Pathetic too say the least and we are once again the laughing stock of the leavue with this lit, thought it couldnt get worse but it has.

@18cainy78 wen all @UmbroUK do is think I know let's dye last season's home kit black, put pink on it & call it the new away kit the fans won't mind, it's like they let the rush of blood from the good job they did with this season's home kit get to their heads

Big fan of this
— Cal Fletcher (@calfletch98) July 19, 2018
Not the best looking kit to be honest pretty fugly. Who is the bright spark that designs and gets the go ahead for this. #JobsForTheBoysOrGirls

Really respect this. Well done Everton. But sell and sign some bluddy players pls

Really like that shirt
— michelle proffitt (@michmosh85) July 19, 2018
Too close to the 09/10 away kit. Bit lazy and why does the torso look grey? The umbro diamonds running from underneath each arm down would have at least improved it a bit.

Like ????
— Paul Clews (@PaulClews2) July 19, 2018
That'd a really, really nice kit, well done Umbro
— Peter Hood (@PeterHoood_) July 19, 2018
That was my initial thought too. And yes, any shirt with Angry Birds on it is going to look awful. Terrible, terrible marketing decision.
