Everton's relationship with kit manufacturer hummel won't be affected despite other English clubs having to cut ties with the firm due to their connections to its UK partner, Elite Sports Group.
Last month clubs such as Southampton, Coventry City Oldham Athletic and Fleetwood Town, who all had hummel kit partnerships, were forced to temporarily close both their online and physical retail outlets citing 'significant operating issues' facing Elite Sports Group, with the Saints detailing their understanding of 'business and fulfilment challenges' being experienced by the third-party retailer.
Since then Elite Sports Group has fallen into administration meaning that some clubs have been unable to get hold of hummel stock during the busiest retail period of the year.
