Everton kit manufacturers hummel have seemingly teased supporters over the release of their latest home kit.
The Blues are still waiting for the latest offering from the Danish sports brand, who are in the third year of designing strips for the club. Their past shirts have been hugely popular among the fans, and so anticipation is already growing around what is to come for the 2022/23 season.
However, it seems that supporters will have to wait a little longer to see what hummel have planned. Last week saw Everton announce Stake.com as their latest main shirt sponsor, taking over from Cazoo, which was believed to mean a delay on any kit reveal.

The club's sponsorship deal with the online car retailer runs out at the end of June, by which point their new partner will be advertised. Until that point, it's believed to be unlikely that Evertonians would see much of the new design for their home shirt.
And that has seemingly been backed up by hummel on Monday morning. The brand tweeted: "Did you know that 80% of Premier League home shirts last season were released in July or later? Food for thought."
The last time Everton changed their main shirt sponsor was in 2020, with Cazoo replacing Sportpesa at that time. That again led to a relatively late release of the home shirt, with hummel revealing their first design for the club on July 3.
It's expected that the wait this time around could be similar. The Danish brand also design kits for Southampton in the Premier League, with the south coast club also waiting to see their new home shirt at the time of writing.
