Everton Women's Team Drop 'Ladies' From Name Ahead of Women's Super League Kick-Off

Everton's women's team will no longer be called Everton Ladies moving forward, rebranding themselves simply as Everton in a bid to bring the men and women's teams under the same umbrella.

The Toffees were the last remaining team in the Women's Super League to have 'Ladies' in their name, after a movement away from the dated terminology has seen West Ham and a host of other major teams make similar changes.

And as the women's game continues to take steps towards gender equality after the roaring success of the World Cup in the summer, Everton have put the final nail in the coffin of the often-criticised phraseology by becoming the latest club to update their name.
