Everton have teamed up with a Marvel Comics illustrator to reveal the club’s new third kit for the 2015/16 season.

The Blues, together with manufacturers Umbro, have commissioned artist and Evertonian Will Sliney to create comic book drawings of the players wearing the new third kit, which will see the team sport a green outfield strip for the first time in the club’s history.

The kit comprises of a green crew-neck shirt with the Club crest and Chang logo in a contrasting, striking orange, with black shorts and green socks.

Mr Sliney has created a bespoke piece of art to showcase the strip featuring Ross Barkley, Leighton Baines, Tom Cleverley, Gerard Deulofeu, Romelu Lukaku and Blues’ boss Roberto Martinez.

The drawings have been released ahead of the 2015/16 third kit’s full unveiling which will take place on Saturday 1 August at 8am, with the kit available to pre-order from Monday 3 August at 8am.

Cork-based Will said: “I’ve been drawing Everton players as well as comic book superheroes for as long as I can remember. There was always a Duncan Ferguson or a Tony Cottee on the fridge next to Spiderman and Wolverine, so to be invited to be part of this new kit launch is a great honour for me.”

The third strip will be worn for the first time on Saturday 15 August when Everton face Southampton at St Mary’s in the Barclays Premier League.

The 2015/16 third kit goes on sale on Wednesday 26 August, both in store and online and is available for men, women, juniors, infants and babies.
