Goodison Park's famous tunnel has a new look and front and centre of the design is what matters most about Everton - the fans.
The club revealed the new images, which will be passed by players as they head out to the pitch to the soundtrack of Z-Cars, on social media yesterday and they are a fitting tribute to the supporters. Blues coming together in adversity played a huge role in inspiring the club's relegation survival bid last season and that has not been lost on those at the club.
One of the most positive effects of an otherwise difficult season has been the rekindling of the connections between the fanbase and the club, inspired by Frank Lampard's open embrace of a support he repeatedly expressed his gratitude for. That the fans will now be the last thing the players see inside the stadium - before becoming the first thing players will see (and hear) when they step out onto the pitch - feels poignant. No-one should forget what they did for the club in one of the darkest hours of its modern history.
