4th Kit

[Toffee Richie]

I'm concerned that very dark kits make it difficult for players to spot each other easily, especially from one side of the pitch to the other, against the background of the crowd. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the poor play yesterday but I was on row 3 of the east stand and found it difficult to make out our players when close to the opposite touchline, not that I've got the best eyesight. Maybe that's why Pickford's long balls never found any of our players.

The reason we stank yesterday.

£40 for the shorts!

That's why we are all furcoat fourth kit shirts, no nickers.

Was it our Fa Cup kit? Got some mileage out of that.

Think the women wore it today too so no. Just a w/e 10th and 11th January 2026 thing.
The sad thing is that I saw a lad at the match wearing it yesterday. At least his parents got extra time out of it, I suppose.

They should be reimbursed and would be if the club had any decency.

Or give the club’s corporate tickets for Wembley to fans who have bought the 4th kit. I’d hope there aren’t many

Simple collar, nice colour, great sponsor, best one so far from Castore.

No team needs more than 2 kits, any more than that is just a money grab.. Unless we are playing away to another team that plays in blue we should be in our blue kit.. I know this happens mostly but a 2nd kit sorts that without the need for 3rd and 4th, alternate kit is to avoid a clash end of.

Reminds me of the Saha days

It also seems to have a bad effect on our players ability to score a penalty.

We should wear it for the remainder of our cup run

The club aren’t arsed, we’re just customers.

Yep, deep in an article by the echo yesterday was confirmation that "as part of Castores deal with us, was the obligation that a 4th kit would be produced and needed to be worn in a cup competition (as only 3 kits can be used in the league".

A little money grab for Castore basically.

Some of our bozos wouldn't find a team mate even if they were equipped with a white stick and a labrador.
