It's grand.

We think that's what they were going for anyway. Grand. Everton have released their new jersey for the 2015/16 season and, apart from a change to the collar and a tinch more of white, it's largely the same as this year's number. Except this year's kit was lovely. The collar/neck was working, the plainness was thriving, and the sleeves - oh, God, the sleeves - were tighter, almost player fit - and we all know that is basically the only thing that matters when it comes to a good jersey. Everton FC v FC Dynamo Kyiv - UEFA Europa League Round of 16 But, in a bold statement, the club have recklessly abandoned the player fit sleeves - or just got thinner models - with this effort which is still fine, but just... not as fine. https://twitter.com/SoCalEverton/status/601282019641856001 But we suppose you can always just go long sleeves if you're really that bothered anyway. Barkley wears this one like a dream. https://twitter.com/LivEchoEFC/status/601270332075450368 But, as we doubted ourselves as to which was better, we put them side by side and it just so happens that Gareth Barry is looking irresistibly sultry in his photo sporting last year's number.
