New kit 2017/2018

[maccavennie]

I've decided the most sensible thing for me to do is just paint a particular favourite kit on my fat mess of a body. This way I can change it every match and won't be lumbered with a crap shirt.

How much more are we getting from SportPesa than we were getting from Chang?

It'd better be worth it.

  Kenyan press suggesting that far from £48m over 5 years suggested in the U.K. Press the deal is nearer £18m over 5 which would be below the Chang figure and in no way compatible with Elstone's claims. Something may be lost in the translation but I do think our press should be pressing Suntan for details.

So with the diamonds all the way down the sleeves does that mean the sleeve sponsor has been binned?

Nah. The sleeve sponsor is DeBeers.

View attachment 36892 this been on before?
Better job than umbros art school dropouts

This one, I like.

 

[cardno4]

I'm liking it. Don't mind the contrasting underarm blue, just takes a little getting used to it. Really glad they didn't go down the Nike Man City route with completely contrasting arms.

We're going to look good in that kit parading the FA Cup about next Season

Honestly, I'd have preferred the whole sleeves the darker blue.

This place is going to be something else come stadium reveal isn't it ....

 

[Jeff Jones]

Like the kit tbh, non more Chang elephant which was yuck

Booooooo...

 

[hktoffee]

It looks like a training top. The kit might look better if the diamond across the sleeve is white. The sponsor logo font looks tiny. Umbro meh.

 

[Milkman]

S'alright, just a bit.. Birmingham? Would be fine if the diamonds on the sleeves weren't just printed. Looks proper crap. No idea why they wouldn't sew that.

Sponsor actually looks alright too. Was worried about that god awful S in a circle, but the typeface is harmless enough.

Can't wait to see Jagielka play 38 games in it next year!

 

[peteblue]

Nah. The sleeve sponsor is DeBeers.

That would look great on the front 'Get DeBeers In'.........

 

[WA Toffee]

..I'm never particularly bothered about the kit. This looks like an Everton top, I'm more interested in the players who are going to wear it.

Yep, as long as it's blue I really don't care about the fashion, and don't know why anyone over the age of 12 does either. Each to their own I suppose.

Article here suggesting that with supposed quotes from SportPesa's CEO...

http://www.nation.co.ke/sports/football/How-rich-is-SportPesa-Everton-deal/1102-3930048-khs6hxz/

Important bit:

"The specific amounts involved in the Everton deal have not been officially released, but English publications and journalists abroad reckon that the deal could be worth up to Sh6.3 billion (£48 million).

SportPesa chief executive officer Ronald Karauri, however, rejects this figure, and he told Nation Sport that the exact amount is “approximately Sh500 million per year”, which translates to a total of Sh2.5 billion..."

Worrying if true but surely it is a mistake. How would we accept less per year than our current Chang deal when sponsorships are going up in general? Just makes no sense.

Sport, pesa de beers. All in a lovely SA accent.

Can't be true. Unless for the sponsorship of the shirt they are paying that much and the rest is rent for Liver building...

 

[BiggyRat]

Preferable.

Ergo, you'd like a Red kit as well! I KNEW IT!!!!!!!

Don't forget to shave your chest. And tummy.
