Goodison Park: A Final Farewell

After 133 years of history, Everton will bid goodbye to Goodison Park in May 2025. The stadium that hosted World Cup semi-finals, relegation escapes, and iconic triumphs will give way to the Bramley-Moore Dock era. As fans prepare for a bittersweet farewell, we revisit the jerseys and moments that immortalized Goodison’s legacy – and look ahead to its rebirth as a community hub.

Goodison’s 125th Anniversary Tribute
Celebrating the stadium’s 125th year, this jersey debuted in a friendly against Sevilla. Featuring a "Goodison Park 125 Years" motif and subtle 1892 stitching, it paid homage to the ground’s storied history, blending nostalgia with modernity.

125 Years of Everton & the Lock-Up Legacy
Marking the club’s 125th year, this kit honored the Everton Lock-Up – the civic emblem on their crest since 1938. A bridge between past and future, mirroring Goodison’s own transition.

The Great Escape & Goodison’s Roar
Worn during the 1998 relegation battle, this jersey symbolizes Goodison’s role as Everton’s fortress. A 1-1 draw with Coventry and Chelsea’s late heroics kept the Toffees up, epitomizing the stadium’s gritty soul.

Quirky Nostalgia in a Modern Age
A kitschy clash of football and pop culture, these jerseys captured Goodison’s ability to embrace the absurd – even as its final chapter loomed.

Closing the Circle
David Moyes, the architect of Everton’s modern revival, returns to manage the final match at Goodison. A poetic end for the man who turned turmoil into ambition.

Everton’s 133-year tenure at Goodison Park ends in May 2025, with a final match against Southampton preceding a farewell festival. The historic ground, host to England’s 1966 World Cup semi-final, will give way to Bramley-Moore Dock—a modern arena for the 2025/26 season.
