Everton gets in Paddy’s Day spirit with limited Fanatics merch range

Sports merchandise specialist Fanatics has launched a special range of Everton-branded clothing to celebrate St Patrick’s Day.

The dark green hoodie and T-shirt, each strictly limited to 500 individually numbered items, pays tribute to the club’s deep-rooted Irish heritage and highlights Everton’s long-standing ties to the Irish community by celebrating the fans and players who have contributed to its rich history.

From legends like Kevin Sheedy and Seamus Coleman, to rising stars like Jake O’Brien, Heather Payne and Courtney Brosnan – not to mention the generations of Irish supporters who have made Goodison Park their home – the range is a fitting tribute to Everton’s Irish connection.

The exclusive range blends tradition with modern style, incorporating a subtle Gaelic symbol that holds a hidden tribute to Prince Rupert’s Tower – a nod to the club’s iconic logo.

This season will be the club’s last at historic Goodison Park before it moves into its new stadium at Bramley-Moore dock for the start of the 2025-26 campaign. Despite the history of the much-loved old home, the decision to move received received “overwhelming” support during a public consultation and multi-channel communications campaign delivered by integrated agency Influential back in 2019. The campaign was praised by academics and marketers, and 96% of 43,000 respondents backed the new stadium and community-led legacy project.
