Maori Haka dancers help launch new ‘All Black’ away kit

Maori dancers performed the ceremonial Haka dance at Goodison Park to launch Everton FCs new "All Black" away kit

A TEAM of Maori dancers performed the ceremonial Haka dance at Goodison Park to launch Everton FC’s new “All Black” away kit.

It was the first public appearance of the new playing strip for the 2009/10 season.

It takes its inspiration from one of the first kits ever worn by Everton in the late 19th century, when they were known as the Black Watch.

The shirts are all black and decorated with pink lightning horizontal stripes.

The troupe of Maori dancers also performed a version of fans favourite, If You Know Your History, during their appearance.

The Haka dance is traditionally associated with the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team, and is performed before the start of matches to intimidate opponents.

The new kit is available from the Everton One store at Goodison Park, and Everton Two at Liverpool One.
