Everton Launch New Kit With “The Scouse Haka”

In a move that 101GG are calling “The Scouse Haka”, Everton launched their new black and pink away kit by hiring six Maori men to perform a Haka version of the Everton song “If You Know Your History”. Full lyrics after the jump:

It’s a Grand Old Team to play for,
And it’s a Grand Old team to support,
And if you know your history,
It’s enough to make your heart go woooooah………..,
We don’t care what the Reds’ fans say,
What the heck should we care,
Because we only know,
That if there’s gonna be a show,
Then the Everton boys will be there.
Everton, Everton, Everton, Everton,Everton.

If you can ignore the slightly bizarre commercialization of the Haka, then I guess this is just a bit of fun, and at least shows a sense of humour lacking in certain other kit launches.

But here’s what the Haka looks like when performed for real, by the New Zealand rugby team.
