I'm confused, why does it say Fabric in massive letters in the corner? Is that a special feaure? The kit's made of fabric? As opposed to other kits made of errrrm, pasta?
Looks nice anyway.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm picturing an advert for a new book, in the top corner it says "Paper".
One of those cheesy marketing tools. Umbro has been the fabric of Everton 'since 1962'. Slogan - Once Everton has touched you, you're part of the fabric. So whenever someone has joined the club they are part of the fabric. In that case it's 'Fabric' since 2007 for Jagielka. I suppose it's an easy twitter hashtag too.
Ah see, that makes more sense. I thought Umbro were just boasting that they made their kits from fabric. Which I thought was a strange thing to feel the need to highlight
Looks very nice though, you lot always seem to have quality kits. Your home one from last season was fantastic imo.
They still want to keep Umbro relevant I'd imagine. No point having all their kits with Nike on them.I thought Nike had snapped up all of Umbro teams like City and Everton?

Ahh, Okay. Didn't know that.Umbro isn't owned by Nike anymore, it's now German (i think it's German, definely not Nike anymore anyway.)

I think it's very nice. The last few Umbro kits since Nike sold them have looked really cheap, so I was worried they'd become a new Joma type brand, but this is a big improvement. With one exception - those sleeve logos! I hate it when manufacturers do that. Lotto being the worst culprits.
Kappa have been a serial offender too over the years.
I was totally unaware of this. Thanks.Got the country wrong though, it's still American.
The company is since 2012 a subsidiary of American companyIconix Brand Group.[1]

feck Nike, Umbro and Warrior.
Reminds me of Fifa 2002 kit design.
Only one that looks bad is the 3rd kit.Tottenham don't half have some awful kits

AWFUL one of the worst kits ive seen for all clubs.I don't know if I'm the only one, but I think Tottenham's looks worse for every year. They're almost Leeds with that yellow coloring mixed in. The 2012-13 one was nice though.
That facial expression.
