EVERTON'S new away kit has been enthusiastically received by Blues fans for its stylishness, its classic look and it simplicity.

But Hull City fans have kicked off - because their's is almost exactly the same!

Umbro manufacture both kits, but Hull fans were incensed when their unveiling, a day after Everton's, revealed an identical style strip with only the crest and the sponsor's name different, with yellow trim replacing the salmon trim of Everton's.

It begs the question, would Evertonians have been just as angry had Hull City unveiled their kit first and Everton followed suit?

Kit designs are emotive issues amongst football fans.

Hull City fans should console themselves that at least it's not chocolate brown ... like Coventry City's, ahem, iconic strip of the late 70s.
