I have no idea what the Haka has to do with Everton, so I have to award a big FAIL to this PR stunt. If you do know the link between a Maori war dance and Le Coq Sportif/Everton, let me know. All I can think of is that Tim Cahill has a Samoan mum, but to my knowledge the Haka is not Samoan.
PS. The black-and-pink away kit, which I am warming to, was launched at the infamous Everton 2, Liverpool One store.

The truism about it is, having a Haka to launch a new kit is like signing a new player,and goodness knows we need a new player!
It’s an ‘all black’ kit, hence using the New Zealand ‘all blacks’ to do a haka dance.
Doesn’t exactly take Einstein to work that out.
And yes, I know the kit has pink bits on, but it is predominately black.
Its an all black kit…its predominantly black?hmmm where i come from all black kit is…all black. But maybe your right barry, perhaps the link is between ‘all blacks’ and ‘predominantly blacks’…that makes huge sense after all.
Tenuous, at best.
It’s just to make pink look tough.
That is the most embarassing thing I have ever seen. It is a mockery of a sham of a bastardisation of a haka. FAIL.
All the pacific island teams do a haka style dance including Samoa, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ-NyW4PTtw, so it could be the Cahill link or the mostly-black link but it’s still odd.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ-NyW4PTtw is what i meant
Iam an Evertonian i found it a bit naff.Butt it done its job and got the shirt noticed.Its all good fun.The only sad part is all the sad miserable gobshites whinging.
Blackiebluenose.
PS Im putting in my order for one.
@barry, that’s not the actual all blacks doing the haka
and everton confirm on their site the haka was because of the ‘all black’ kit http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/the-haka-at-goodison.html
PINK.
If it’s good enough for tattooed faced warriors, it’s good enough for you.
Haha that is really embarrassing!!
I like the one white guy in the back…
