Everton's home kit for the upcoming 2023/2024 season has been launched, with the traditional approach implemented by manufacturers Hummel seemingly going down well with supporters.
Having last done so 10 years ago, the Toffees' home shirt will feature a collar and sees Goodison Park's famous Archibald Leitch pattern feature on appear its trim, in addition to on the sleeves.
The kit is rounded off with a combination of white shorts and socks, with Sean Dyche hoping it will bring greater luck to his side following consecutive relegation battles across the previous two Premier League campaigns.

Meanwhile, Everton’s range of goalkeeper kits will also possess historic significance. The Amazon green home jersey pays homage to Goodison’s association with St Luke’s Church, which is reflected in a pattern depicting the church’s window arches.
Winger Dwight McNeil gave his verdict on the new kit, telling the club's official website: “I like what Hummel have done with the kit, giving it a retro look and bringing elements of Goodison into it that I think fans will really appreciate."
Though some vent their concerns at the continued appearance of a gambling sponsor, McNeil appears to be largely correct. An early taste of supporters' reaction to the kit on social media is found below...
