Castore - get rid?

[Lanolin]

It's not about specifically seeing it, quite the opposite.
I have a background in design and it's just my take.
For a start, the club went to great lengths to include 'EVERTON' on the crest, presumably to boost name recognition.
They ended up with a hodgepodge of a crest with way too many elements and none of them are imposing.
Then they tried the super minimal thing.
Somewhere in the middle would be great. I'm a huge fan of the mid 80's crest. Simple, clean, recognisable.
So in part it's not really Castore's fault, they didnt come up with the crest but they could have put it on a darker shield. (like Umbro did in the mid 90's).
Just something to give the crest some definition. It gets lost as it is.
Thats just my opinion

Edit. Look at the difference between the crest and kit supplier on this shirt, kinda what I'm talking about

No dont get me wrong, I wasn’t trying to say it was a stupid point, just thinking out loud I suppose!

£65 for a training top with the stick on badge. I used to get a training top because they were half the price of the kit!

They are still just about half the price of the kit , I paid £115 for the home jersey.

New off white away kits are a perfect match for the Everton bed wetting supporters, just blends in

I'm a sucker for collars on kits, so I'm already a fan, but this is honestly quite nice. Simple but effective.

I tried it last night and honestly, if the bed sheets weren't absolutely soaked when I got up this morning after I'd dreamed of us re-signing Kack Harrison, you'd never know.

Someone has suggested that scousers love the new away kit and non scousers can’t stand it. What do you think lads?

Not sure about that, fair few lads on the Wirral and North Wales have been raving about how great it is and how they’ll be buying it as it matches their teeth.

2 days late to this.

But what is "better"? And how can we do better than £20m a year?

well first off am sure there are others out there who will want too be supplying us now we moved onto bigger things with the new stadium. not bad kits but don't like who we been able to buy copies of the kits before the new kits were announced

My two tone Umbro Polo (Blue over Navy Blue with Sportpesa collar) has only just started to have the logos peel off. I think that's 6 years of regular use so I'm not sure if that's a good outcome or not.

The away kit is fantastic, Just bought the home one but I'll definitely get the away one once it goes on sale... A home one in that style would be exactly what I want from a jersey. Love a collar on a jersey.

I consider these minor issues. Maybe actually a bonus! £9 and get it a month early
I know everyone will have the moans and groans about whatever, but at £20m a year, given we've been garbage for 5 years, id say we've got Castore's pants down.

Controversially, I actually love the castore gear, I think training gear is great quality.

But if any other manufacturers wants to offer us more, then I'll happily listen!

Win a couple of pots and get in the top half we've got a chance.

By a mile the best Castore kit so far but not £80+ worth.

Last year's away was a beaut. Criminally underrated

I think I'm in a minority here but I think all the Castore kits so far are better than anything Hummel did for us

I didn't mind the Hummel kits by and large but yeah my biggest gripe with them were the chevrons they put on the shoulders. Didn't particularly like that personally..

Its kinda their branding like the Adidas 3 stripes or the Nike swoosh.
Pesonally I thought the Hummel kits were streets ahead of anything else we have had since LCS.
