Everton Haka Competition

Compose words for an Everton Haka and win the new away kit.

As Everton gets set to launch the brand new away kit for the 2009/10 season on 6 August, Everton fans are being exclusively invited to help celebrate this exciting event.

The new kit, which is all black and decorated with pink lightning horizontal stripes, will be worn in public for the first time by a troop of Maori dancers who will perform a ceremonial Haka in ‘All Black’ style to mark the occasion.

We would like to invite Everton fans to write a six line verse for the Everton Haka which will be performed by the dance troop at the official launch, which will take place at Everton One at Goodison Park on Thursday 6 August at 3pm. 

The winning composer will be invited down to see their Haka being performed and also receive the brand new, dynamic Everton away kit for the 2009/10 season.

The new playing strip, created by Le Coq Sportif and Everton's retail partner Kitbag Ltd, boasts a futuristic design which takes its inspiration from one of the first kits ever worn by Everton in the late nineteenth century when they were known as the Black Watch. 

In addition to the event at Everton One, the Maori dance troop will also be performing at Everton Two @ Liverpool One in Liverpool City Centre on Thursday 6th August at 1pm. 

The new away kit will be available to buy from 6th August from Everton One and Everton Two and also online from evertondirect.com.

To enter, email your six line verse to suzie@mere.co.uk by midday on Wednesday 5th August 2009.  The winner will be required to take part in publicity.
