Everton Players Design Charity T-Shirts
Everton stars Richarlison, Lucas Digne and Jordan Pickford got creative this week when they designed their own range of limited edition charity t-shirts with the hope of raising vital funds for a proposed new mental health facility as part of Everton in the Community’s ‘The People’s Place‘ campaign. The facility is planned to be positioned within the Goodison campus, located just 500 metres from Goodison Park.
Each player worked with designers from the Club’s retail partner Fanatics to craft a t-shirt that reflected something about themselves, with proceeds from the t-shirts, selling at £20 each from the Everton club shops and online, set to boost the campaign.
Goalkeeper Pickford mixed his love of music and football to develop his ‘Ministry of Saves’ t-shirt, while vibrant colour brings Richarlison’s portrait offering to life.
Left-back Digne, meanwhile, sought inspiration from his own goal celebration and a teddy bear tattoo he has on his right arm.
“I think it’s a very good design for Everton and my music taste,” said England international Pickford. “It’s been great to work so well with Bradley, the designer, who’s a mad Everton fan.

“I think it’s been quite successful and I hope the fans agree and buy the t-shirt.”
Digne added: “It’s a really cool thing to do and it’s for the charity, too. I picked a teddy bear because I have a tattoo of one on my arm and there is also a nod to my wife in there as well. It’s perfect and I hope my t-shirt flies out, makes the most money and is the most popular!”
Everton in the Community launched The People’s Place campaign last August, outlining plans to develop, build and maintain a new purpose-built mental health facility that will become a delivery site for its programmes and enable signposting to other services on Merseyside.
