 Welcome to Toffy TV. Everton have announced a new deal with Hummel Sportswear to produce the kit for the next three years, ending our long association with Umbro. It's been a while hasn't it? We've been with Umbro since what, 2004? Oh yeah, sorry, when they came back, yeah, from the Coxball team, yeah, so... A Nike. A Nike as well, yeah. So it's changed, but they were back 14-15 season, I think, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah. The dark socks, but yeah, it's been five years, hasn't it? So Hummel, in the first time we've ever had Hummel, we've got a little muck up here, a little muck up we got made, but it's a blackout, I love blackout kits, so... It's nice, isn't it? Well, you say it's nice, it's no reflection of what the kit would be like, but it just gives you the little thing of the chevrons on the arm, and obviously the Hummel, and we've thrown the event in the community sponsor on there. But bit of a departure for us, isn't it? Hummel, for us, we're old enough to remember when Hummel was boss. 1986 World Cup, Denmark, ladrwch, incredible, just Denmark kits, just for a sec. Well, in the 90s, Spears, I mean Spears had the Hummel kits, and Coventry's kits, and Coventry beat AC7, and that went through, and they still had it in the 90s, so it wasn't like a kit and stuff before they moved, and obviously Strong Danish brand, and Denmark have had them kits for like half a year, like half a year, like literally just get half a year back, that's it, so for us. Or any, see? Yeah, but we won the best trophies in half a year. We did, we did some of them. Yeah, it's something different, you know, the reaction to the announcements, what I've seen anywhere in social media has been really positive actually, for Evertonians, it's unusually upbeat for Evertonians, there's a reason for that. Well, there you go, but rather than us just, I know people would say oh, it's rather Nike or it's rather have, you know, deed or so, whatever, but where we are, we ain't going to get, but yeah, you could get in the deed as a kit, as it's been proven by like Wolves and Lester, teams like that, but it's just literally what we have with Nike last time, just stick it on bad young, there's a kit, stick it on bad young, you can buy that kit for a tenner, actually on our catalogue. So to have someone who's going to look after us, we're their only Premier League team, with the biggest club they've got now in their brand, so that means that, you know, they're going to look after us a little bit, and we had the similar thing with Umbrow, it was like bespoke stuff, but we are their number one. Well, to be honest, it reminds me, like, one of my before was, I think, this year's kit, Umbrow, from Umbrow, don't get me wrong, the kits are, I think all three, the home one's grown on me a lot, the home one I like, I like from the big, but it's grown on me now. But I like the home one away from the, away in the third from the start of doing the kit, but it seemed, the whole thing seemed very last minute and rushed, and a lot of people, and I'm not speaking out of town here, a lot of people have spoken out about how poorly the quality is of the training gear, and it was all like, stuck on badges and stuff like that, and it's all just come off in the wash, from that point of view, so I think people are like, well actually, you know what, if we're going to get good gear, which willful we are, then it's not a big issue. And as you just said, there, and there had to be someone's number one brand, then, like you just said, have a Sunday League kit with your badges up, which we've seen this season, less there's kits, two of them, you can buy for like a tenner, and if you know the right people, you could easily get a badge and a sponsor put on there, and you could have a kit for buttons, and it just, and for me that just reflects a lack of quality in the whole thing, so. Lach y thwr, daw yn y lach of, you don't want to be someone's after thought, do you? Really? Because, obviously if Nike comes to heaven and went to like, we'll have you, and yeah, we'll give you the badges to stick on yourself, but we'll give you 30 million a year, or 25 million a year, then you do it, but forget not a lot of money to just have a Nike emblem on. There's a hierarchy, let's be honest, of those big cuts, there's a hierarchy, and it's not even that, there's not even that many clubs, I think Nike have like eight or nine brands in the world that they really look after, and the rest are all like secondary. So, for those who have come in, will come in, technically this is the end of the season, technically, so it's, that's why it's being announced, obviously we don't know about the sponsor yet, because we're changing and all that sort of stuff. Dave said online that we're going to see a kick in a couple of weeks now, whether that's just someone on the Twitter getting a bit excited, and actually we don't know yet, but for the cost, for what we're getting for it, we're getting apparently in the region of eight to ten million, which will double what we got from Monbrough. So, whether people like the brand or not, we are, I think that moves us up to about the best of the rest in the Premier League, with roughly 30, well, according to like the day, you know, there's like the daily men, the athletic and things like that, it's saying 30 million pound deal over three years, so that's, I mean, that's 10 million a year, so it's somewhere in that region, but that is a big improvement, that's all we can look at, isn't it? You know, we've seen our, you know, our neighbours, you know, went to warrior from nowhere, and then that, I know, I know, but went to... FFPUC? They went to warrior, and then into a new balance, and then they've worked away now, didn't they, and obviously success has dictated how bad their deals have gone. But you have to move up that, don't you? Because it's not going down. We've got umbrow, and then home alone, we'll have like a third of what umbrow give us, so you can be our kids. It's about climbing the stairs, isn't it? And also, I mean, people have had new balance, and they've been looked after. They get good gear, like you know what I mean? When we were at the Cocksport Eve, the kids were great, some of them were a bit but most of them were great, and it's because there was a lot more communication between Everton, a lot more in-house designs getting put forward. A lot more care. A lot more care, and the kids were great, like that blue one would like to call it, and we had the cream one, the third kiddie before, which was grossly underused, it was such a nice kid. When we scored Chelsea, with the pole out, grossly underused that chip, but the next season's home one was almost the same as it had. I remember the blue one, I think it was Kyle's last kid, and it had the golden shape, gorgeous kid. And that's all I hope we get from them, you know what I mean? It's that kid that reflects our history. At the end of the day, it's a football kit. It's really for kids, isn't it? Let's be honest. I mean, you know, you might throw a shirt around the house or whatever, or you don't think you're all right, you want to put one on so I prove, you know, show your colours and all that, but kids will wear them, you want them to look good. And if they've got nice gear as well, then that's what a lot of Evitonians wear. A lot of Evitonians, I would say, thinking of like them, thinking of those Halcyon days when we showed them that, will wear the training gear more so than a massive training gear guy. No, more so than the shit. Yeah, it's I'm saying I'm a massive training gear guy. Whether it's a long, you know, whether it's the long stuff or just the training top, and even in the summer, you see a lot of training kits, more so than kits. So all of that comes into it, and you just want to, you know, you want a little bit something new. We all like something new, don't we? And if, home of like, you know, we want to, because where they're in, back into the Premier League, which is what the chief executive said, you know, they're going to be a club in the Premier League, it's such a big league. Then they will take the time and they will give us better quality and you hope that. What you want to do is by the end of this, because this deal ends when we move into Bramley Mordoch, hopefully that's when it, that should be the summer that it ends. You want to be in a position where you're happy with what they've done, but you've got another couple of people knocking on the door going to tell you what, new stadium, new sponsors going to be everywhere. But if Hummel have treated you well and can match what other people are watching, then that's how you build that relationship, you know. You've got to do well on the pitch, of course, you know, but it'll be interesting to see what they come up with. I think for Evertonians, the stuff's got to be good. We're not a fan base that just goes out and buys stuff. It's got to mean go gear, so that's good. One thing I would say as well, I've seen it mentioned online, I've seen it mentioned from Hummel. Hummel's first sort of foray into England was Allen Ball, wearing white boots, classic. We all, we all, we don't know. We've actually got, we've got a picture on the wall there of it. It was like the first footballer ever to wear, you know, the, something other than, other than black boots. And it's the 50th anniversary of that. So it's a good sign. And I really hope, I really hope they go with that, like whether it be a retro shirt of that year, with it being, you know, 50 years since we won the league with the whole eternity. And also maybe some kind of smart time with the white boots. And I know there's other people out there who've done t-shirts and stuff with the white boots. But that could be a line to explore and exploit. Well, a cock spot if when they came in and they obviously exploited the 1980s. So I hope that's something they look at. I think there'll be a little pair of white boots on the back of the Everton kit or something. Maybe, I don't know about the kit. They did, but how about just like a little, just a little, a little range. T-shirt with just a pair of white boots. A little range of the white, to celebrate Allen Ball and the white boots. That kit will build that top. Well, you know, you could do the 1970s. You could have that kit with a, with a, like, almost like that, where it's black on black with a blue on blue homo. So you can't actually say it's that kit. Not as the main kit. Just as a moment like it. And a lot of people out there would, I think, would get involved in that massively. So maybe that's something that you can, I'm sure. It's good, but obviously we're going to finish the season in Umbro. We're going to finish the season with Sport Pays. Because we're contractually obliged to do that. For some other clubs, that's more of an issue. Our neighbours is more of an issue because obviously they're moving to Nike, aren't they? And all that. For us though, it's just about finishing those games. But I think it'd be good and I think obviously, I mean, people will, people I think will need to see the home kit like very soon to kind of like go. Yeah, that's good. That's cool. And in my mind, we've seen some people do great mock-ups on the on Twitter and stuff. They look really good. And some of them have been really smart. You know that I'm going to like it because of the Umbro diamonds. But the Chevron's white on the blue, I think makes the kit stand out. I mean, Rangers, they've been used by them this year. It's okay. It's all right. It's something new, isn't it? And the good thing to take away from it is that it's a better deal than the last one. And that is how we have to start viewing it. You know, we need to make sure that this club is moving forward. We change, we give people new titles and we give it, you know, double that of executive salary and all that. Well, let's see them actually doing the work for that money and making sure we're going upwards where we want to be going. Yeah. So there you go. There you go. The next one today, a three-year deal, no closures. No break-closes. Three years, around 30 million, around 30 million for the three years. I'm excited to see what they come up with. Be something new, a change. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Are you bothered? Is it the money that makes the difference? Are you looking forward to it? Or, you know, would you rather have stayed with Umbro or whatever? Some people won't care, will they? No, no. That's what I'm saying. Financially, it's the import. That's the top line. That's the top line. Again, for the 70s, 50 years. We always should have a yellow. Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Don't forget to give this video a like, subscribe if you haven't already.
