This yellow (or mustard) uniform was introduced as an alternative jersey for the 1986 World Cup and
confirmed that yellow was no longer the first-choice colour for England's goalkeepers.
Because no other countries wore grey shirts, no change uniform was necessary
and the grey uniform
was worn in every game up until the second game of the 1988 European
Championship, when a
new green jersey
appeared.

Collection. Check out the
