The new multi-year partnership will see Everton wear 'Angry Birds' on their shirt sleeves and fans are not best pleased about the fact there will be red on their kit.
Premier League teams are now allowed to don a shirt sleeve sponsor and Everton have become the latest team to sign a deal.
| #EFC has signed a shirt sleeve partnership with @Rovio - the games giant behind the @AngryBirds franchise.

Here are some of the fans' reactions to the official announcement:
Why didn't you use the bird that splits into three, at least he's blue !!!

You need a blue bird .... red on the blue kit is sacrilege

Signing a Red. Hope this is someone's idea of a joke!!!

And here is the response from Everton:
There will be no red on the Everton kit - it will be the @AngryBirds logo, as modelled by Red in the launch graphic. #RedIsABlue
