There is a certain kind of dad. The one who taught you the songs before he taught you to ride a bike. The one who has sat through the lean years and the great ones and never once thought about supporting anyone else. This Father's Day, Sunday 21 June, here is how to get him something that actually means something.
Because the best Everton gifts for men are not really about the shirt. They are about saying: I know what this club means to you, because you taught it to me.
Here is our guide to gifts for Everton fans, sorted by the dad you are buying for.
For the dad who was there for the glory days
If your old man can still describe goals from decades ago like they happened last week, this one is for him.
The Holy Trinity tee honours Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey and Alan Ball, the midfield three who drove Everton to the 1969-70 title and are still spoken about in reverent tones around Goodison. The Dixie 60 tee celebrates William 'Dixie' Dean, who scored 60 league goals in the 1927-28 season, a top-flight record that has stood for almost a hundred years and may never be beaten. And the Alan Ball tee carries four words his generation will not argue with: the greatest of them all. Ball was so good he earns a place in this guide twice.
For the dad who remembers 1985 like it was the best year of his life, the Neville Southall tee is a minimalist nod to the night in Rotterdam when Everton beat Rapid Vienna 3-1 to lift the European Cup Winners' Cup, with Big Nev between the sticks and Andy Gray, Trevor Steven and Kevin Sheedy on the scoresheet. All £27.99, all proper quality, all guaranteed to get a smile.
For the dad who never stops believing
Some dads do not live in the past. They are already looking at the new home on the waterfront and dreaming about what comes next. Good. So are we.
The 1878 Stripes tee is our best seller for a reason: classic stripes, founding year, worn with pride. The Bramley Moore New Dawn tee marks the move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium and the genuinely new era it brings. And the Royal Blue Mersey tee is for the dad who wears the city and the club as one and the same thing.
These are gifts that say the best days are still ahead. Because they are.
For the dad who knows his history
Then there is the dad who could write the club's history book himself.
The 1878 St Domingo tee takes him right back to where it all began, a church team in 1878 that grew into a founding giant of the English game. The History of Away Kits tee is a roll call of the shirts he has watched us wear down the years, the kind of design that starts a conversation in any pub.
And if he has run out of room in the wardrobe, put a bit of Everton on his wall instead. The 1878 St Domingo print is a framed piece of heritage, a quiet, classy reminder of the year it all started.
Order in time for Father's Day
Father's Day lands on Sunday 21 June, so get your order in over the next few days to be safe. Every tee is 100% cotton, properly made, and built to be worn for years, not bin-bagged after a season.
Whatever you choose, you are not just buying a shirt. You are telling your dad you were listening all those years. Up the Toffees, and happy Father's Day to every Blue who passed this great club down to the next generation.
