Match Date: September 9, 2011
Competition: Premier League 2011/12 Season
Location: Goodison Park
Match Story:
While the Merseyside Derby is one of the most celebrated and famous rivalries in world football, there’s no doubting the fact that it has been dominated by the Red half — particularly in recent times. But while the sweet taste of victory has proven elusive for the Blues, that makes the times they have triumphed all-the-more memorable. That was definitely the case when the two sides met at Goodison Park in September of 2007, when Toffees put three past their rivals — one goal from legend Tim Cahill and two from Andy Johnson — to mark their biggest victory in the “Friendly Derby” since 1964.
Design Story:
The match side of the wristband sits atop a profile view of the Prince Rupert’s Tower, the famous cone-shaped lock-up that sits both in Everton in Liverpool and in the Blue’s crest. On the reverse is a design that takes inspiration from the Toffees’ cult-favorite peach and navy away strip worn from 1992 to 1994.
