TimEOBrien Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Now that Everton has a blue home kit and a black away kit, the general consensus is that they'll need a third clash kit this season. This is my best guess at what I think it might/should look like.I've picked this color based on the fact that they've used it a lot in the team's training gear. If they go for a more traditional look, I think it might look something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I believe that the BPL has a certain set of colors which can be used for the numerals and name on back: black, white, navy, red & gold. So I don't think the purple numbers would be realistic. But it's not a bad design. The purple would be a unique choice for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Things are pointing to a white kit with pink trim, so you got that right and have it looking nice.But it is a bit bright, especially the numbers and the crest (and the Umbro logo for symmetry's sake.) I would see them using black trim, for the numbers/NOB, the logos (team, sponsor, and supplier) and on the shorts.Speaking of shorts, we do need one pair of 'light' shorts, so the white short option would be the better one. Keep the purple trim, but still switch the logos and numbers to black. A coloured collar would wrap up this kit quite nicely as well.So yeah, basically keep the purple as a trim, but make the more prominent and central features of the kit a darker colour, which black would make more sense, and you have an extremely solid option IMO.

1clkgtramg Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The pink looks a little too purple to me, other than that, I hope their thirds look like this.

As for light shorts, they've already debuted the white shorts with blue trim that you see in one of my first concepts when they unveiled their home kit. In fact, I prefer that look to the solid blue they wore in their first preseason game.The pink looks a little too purple to me, other than that, I hope their thirds look like this.Yeah, actually it's less purple-y than the warm up/training stuff they've been wearing this preseason.

So I don't think the purple numbers would be realistic. But it's not a bad design. The purple would be a unique choice for the league.Is this true? If so that's :censored:ing stupid.It is true yes. The number of colours has increased since the current font below was released. For example royal blue and yellow are now available. It kind of makes sense in that I can buy a shirt for any team in any part of the country and get proper shirt printing from any shop - because each shop stocks the standard colours. In other terms, I won't be stuck with the wrong shade of blue on the back of my Tottenham shirt which I buy in Liverpool.It also helps restrict outlandish colour choices. Shirt numbers need to be visibile to the referee (for obvious reasons) and also to television audiences and people attending the games in person.As for the concept... yes I could see any of these being used. They fit the bill for being typical of both Umbro and Everton. With the home kit having the traditional white shorts I would imagine they will opt for something different on the away. So probably option 2 or 4 as you have it are more likely than 1 or 3. UBI FIDES IBI LUX ET ROBUR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimEOBrien Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Here's a couple other ideas - bathed in tradition - based in the new template from the home and away kits. I think both can work well but are unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 love both of those. Everton really has some nice colours and I love that they don't force them together, they often just then them work on their own. Kind of curious about a Pink and Blue kit would look like on your template there US and World License Plate Redesign - Fixing the Elite Ice Hockey League - NHL to Soccer Crossover - European Hockey League Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 From the look of the training and warm up gear, the third kit will be a plum color with white and bright yellow accents. Maybe try and do one using those colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1clkgtramg Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 it's a real shame about the letters having to be black, definitely takes away from the whole feel of the kit.

TimEOBrien Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 But it does mean the black shorts would match nicely. With a white kit, EFC could go solid blue, solid white, solid black or a combination of any of those and none of it would clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The numbers can be blue, it's just more of a navy blue. Look at arsenal's away kit last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimEOBrien Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I picked black over navy because this way they can use the black shorts and also so i didn't have to add another color into what they've shown so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimEOBrien Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 And here's an idea I had for the USMNT. Basically the idea was to make a jersey as though someone had a flag draped over their back and pulled over the shoulders: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoz851 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 As far as the USA, make both sleeves blue, but other than that, it's fantastic. Also, I'd go with the white top blue shorts if I was Everton, since it is like the opposite of their normal kit.... Following the footsteps of the new Liverpool kits... FANTASTIC JOB And make the usa socks have parallel lines, not slanted like you have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
