Everton FC have revealed their new home kit, manufactured by Le Coq Sportif, for the 2011-2012 season.

The main change with this season’s shirt sees the return of a collar, adding a classic, vintage look. It is also the first time the home shirt has featured a collar since the 2000/2001 season.

And with the Club reverting to amber for its now hugely popular away shirt, the colour has been incorporated into the home design with subtle amber piping through the collar and sleeves.

Technical Excellence

The new home strip represents yet another step forward in kit technology.

It has been scientifically designed to help Everton’s players achieve optimum performance on the field.

The fabric is of superior strength and resilience but is also exceptionally lightweight.

It consists of two combined layers or ‘shells’. The first is 100 per cent polyester cationic yarn. It is what is known as a marl – where different colours run together to create a unique patterned surface. This fabric is then ‘peached’, a brushing process to make the shirt feel soft against the skin.

The second ‘shell’ is all about body temperature. It is 100 per cent polyester pinhole mesh and weighs just 125 grams. It has perforated holes throughout to increase airflow and maintain optimal body temperature.

The fabric is also hydrophobic, which means it feels dry and transports moisture away from the skin.
