Everton wore this away shirt across the 1990/91 and 1991/92 campaigns, a period of managerial change as the club prepared for the introduction of the Premier League.
The 1990/91 season began under Colin Harvey, with Everton looking to improve upon their sixth-place finish the previous campaign. The squad featured established players including Neville Southall, Dave Watson, Kevin Ratcliffe, Peter Beardsley, Tony Cottee, Stuart McCall and Graeme Sharp.
Following a difficult opening to the season, Harvey departed as manager in October 1990, with Howard Kendall returning to Goodison Park for his second spell in charge.
Kendall had previously guided Everton through one of the most successful periods in their history, winning two league championships, the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup during the 1980s. His return brought renewed stability, with Everton eventually finishing ninth in the First Division.
The campaign also included an FA Cup run to the quarter-finals, where Everton were eliminated by West Ham United following a replay.
The following season saw Kendall continue reshaping his squad as Everton entered the final campaign of the old Football League First Division.
Peter Beardsley arrived from Liverpool during the summer of 1991, adding experience and creativity to the team's attacking options. The squad also featured players including Southall, Watson, Cottee, McCall and Robert Warzycha, as Kendall sought to establish a consistent league challenge.
Everton recorded 13 victories across their 42 First Division fixtures, eventually finishing 12th in the table. Although the club were unable to challenge for European qualification, their position ensured they would become founding members of the newly established Premier League in 1992/93.
The two campaigns represented a transitional period for Everton following their considerable domestic success during the previous decade.
Produced by Umbro, the 1990–92 Everton away shirt featured a distinctive yellow colourway with a tonal zigzag pattern and contrasting blue geometric detailing. The design incorporated an embroidered Everton tower crest, Umbro branding, a press-stud collar and the NEC sponsor, reflecting the bold styling associated with early-1990s football shirts.
Worn during Kendall's return to Goodison Park, the shirt became associated with Everton's final two campaigns before the formation of the Premier League. Its striking pattern, traditional club detailing and unmistakable Umbro styling make it a memorable example of Everton's vintage away shirts.

Condition
Each item is individually inspected and graded by our team to ensure an accurate representation of its condition.
Every item at The Soccer Archive is individually assessed and graded on our condition scale out of 10. This rating takes into account the overall quality of the fabric, print, badges and any natural signs of wear that come with age.
Most pieces we sell are vintage or pre-owned, meaning small signs of age can be part of their character.

Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.

Very strong vintage condition. May show the lightest signs of storage or previous wear, but nothing that distracts from the item overall.

Any notable flaws will always be highlighted in the product description and imagery.
