Everton will launch a new t-shirt celebrating St Patrick’s Day.
The club will launch the t-shirt today featuring designs based on the Irish national holiday on Monday 17 March.
The club has now revealed the designs and it is the second time it has launched special merchandise for its Irish fans after Hummel released a special edition green Everton kit in honour of captain Seamus Coleman in 2023.
The new t-shirt and hoodies, priced at £35 and £70 respectively, come in ‘glazed green’ colour with a unique shamrock-inspired take on the Everton badge. They include gold letter with the club’s motto ‘Nil Satis Nisioptimum’ and EFC in some of the nicer details of the shirt.
You can buy them here.
The club has close ties to Ireland with a host of former internationals appearing for the Toffees in recent years. Kevin Kilbane, Lee Carsley, James McCarthy, Jake O’Brien and captain Seamus Coleman have all wore the green of Ireland and blue of Everton in the past few decades.
Those ties were further strengthened when the club visited Sligo last summer to play out a 3-3 draw with Coleman’s first club. The trip also saw the players stay at a hotel on the outskirts of Dublin and launch a documentary about Coleman, which was shown to Everton’s Irish fan club members in an exclusive premiere.
The club seems to be stepping up its merchandising towards the end of the last season at Goodison Park. Castore has launched a limited edition Goodison-themed kit and a bizarre US range in recent weeks.
