The new shirt features a classic amber and blue design, inspired by the second strips worn by the Toffees in the late 1960s and early 1970s during a successful period for the club.
The kit will mark the 50th anniversary of the club's seventh league title, which Everton won with two games to spare, and first association with hummel.
Stars like Alan Ball, Joe Royle and Howard Kendall donned a much-loved amber away shirt in the historic season with World Cup winner Ball first showcasing his distinctive white hummel boots at a home game with Coventry City.
This follows the release of the traditional blue shirt last month - which became the club's fastest ever selling home strip.
The away kit features hummel’s iconic chevrons in blue across the shoulders and sleeves wit slick blue piping and a blue neckline.
Speaking about the new shirt, Everton captain Seamus Coleman said: 'As players we are all interested in what our kits are going to look like, and I am really impressed with this strip. It is very modern but is also a great tribute to the players from the late 60s and early 70s.
'As Everton players it's always important to know and understand the history of our great club and this kit pays tribute to players that every Evertonian looks up to including Alan Ball, Colin Harvey and Howard Kendall.
'The retro EFC scroll design on the back of the neck is a nice touch and I am sure Evertonians will love this kit as much as the players.'
Midfielder Tom Davies added: 'The colours of amber and blue go together really well and are probably the first colours Evertonians think of in an away kit. I've always liked a retro look and this shirt pays tribute to some of the best teams in our Club's history.'
