Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi was one of the players selected to model Everton’s new away kit ahead of the 2020/2021 football season, Completesports.com reports.
The Meyserside club officially unveiled the new away kit on Friday.
The club unveiled a classic amber and blue design away kit, inspired by the second strips worn by the Toffees in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Everton’s seventh league championship, which saw players wearing the much-loved amber away strip as Harry Catterick’s side claimed the 1969/70 title with two games to spare.
The new 2020/21 amber Everton away shirt features hummel’s iconic chevrons in blue across the shoulders and sleeves, and slick blue piping on the sleeves.
It also has a contrasting neckline in blue, creating a clean and minimalist look that complements the style of the popular 2020/21 home strip – which last month became Everton’s fastest ever selling home kit.
In a tribute to the Everton teams of the early 1970s, the back-of-neck of the new away shirt features a retro EFC scroll detail.
The blue shorts feature the hummel chevrons in amber contrast on the outer leg and the kit is completed with dark amber socks with blue chevrons on the front. Both the shirt and shorts are finished with a tonal badge detail.
