outer sleeves. V-neck, edged with thin navy-blue line, overlapping from

in middle, extending from one collarbone to the other. Light-blue inner

Silver inner upper sleeves,
continuing down each side down towards the hips, edged with navy-blue
line that continues beyond the silver panel. Embroidered emblem on left
breast, with 'ENGLAND' in capitalised white lettering inside a navy-blue

Variations |
- Nigel Martyn wore
number 13 and David James wore number 22 against Cameroon.
- Against Nigeria,
England had the 2002 FIFA WORLD CUP KOREA JAPAN logo sewn onto the right
sleeve.
- Paul Robinson wore
number 13 against Australia and Denmark.
- For the last five
games in which this kit was worn, the font for the names, numbers and match
details were changed to match the new 2003 white outfield kit. The names and
numbers had a white border, the surname on the reverse was no longer in
an arc and the match details were re-positioned to the bottom of the shirt,
centrally, just above the hem, as per the outfield shirt.
- The names of
England's opponents, as they appeared in the match details, were AUSTRALIA,
CAMEROON, DENMARK, MACEDONIA, NIGERIA, PARAGUAY, PORTUGAL and TURKEY.
England were named first in the home fixtures (against Australia, Denmark,
Macedonia, Paraguay, Portugal and
Turkey). In the other five
fixtures, England's name appeared
second.

 This
outfit saw David Seaman's 75th and last appearance for England, after wearing 17
different goalkeeping kit designs in 14 years, more than any other England
custodian.
It was not a
happy occasion, as England dropped home points to Macedonia in a European
Championship qualifier and Seaman conceded direct from a corner which went over
his head, with memories of Ronaldinho's World Cup quarter-final winner still
fresh from four months earlier.
Nigel Martyn's
international career also came to an end, earlier in the same year, after 23
caps. David James took over from Seaman as first choice, with Paul Robinson
stepping up to reserve.
 The kit was actually due to appear for the first
time in the game against Italy, alongside the
new red change kit,
three weeks earlier than the game against Paraguay, but a mix-up meant that it
was replaced by the
black kit at the last minute (see photos at the bottom of the page).

forearm sleeve, together with Umbro's authenticity label on the right hip
(turned on its side and in close-up, left).

This shirt, part
of Richard Clarke's 'Three Lions - England Match Worn Shirts'
Facebook Collection, was actually issued to David James for the game
against Italy in 2002, but it was never worn, because it clashed
with Italy's blue kit. The mistake must have been realised late in
the day, as this shirt had the embroidered match details and the
black shirt that was worn against
Italy, did not.
