Worn twice
100% successful

 

Notes

With Umbro taking on the England contract, a new red uniform was produced, this time with orange numbers on the back and red stockings, and was worn just twice. Nat Lofthouse became the 'Lion of Vienna' on its first airing and England avenged their 1950 World Cup defeat with an emphatic 6-3 victory in the Yankee Stadium on its last appearance. By the end of 1954, a red v-neck version had replaced this uniform.

A special thanks to Colin Jose, for tracking down the colours worn in the American game.
