Fluorescent Adolescents

This fluorescent yellow jersey will be worn tomorrow when the Blues take on West Brom.

The kit, which also comprises navy shorts and yellow socks, will be the change jersey for European matches too.

Names and numbers will be available in navy, with the special UEFA Cup numbers to be launched prior to the first round of the competition.

Two years to late in my opinion, Barcelona had this colour for their away shirt in 2005/06, and Chelsea had the same neon look last year.

In stores from October 7th.

Prince Rupert's Tower

Prince Rupert's Tower, or The Roundhouse, is an old Bridewell or lock-up that is still located on Everton Brow, in Netherfield Road, Everton, Liverpool. It is used on the crest of Everton Football Club.

Built in 1787, it was used to incarcerate wrong-doers until they could be hauled before the magistrate the following morning.

Prince Rupert's Tower is the oldest surviving building in Everton, when the succesful local chapel football team (St.Domingos) took the name 'Everton' the club adopted the local landmark as their insignia.
