England designated red as one of their alternate colours for the World Cup 1970 final tournament.  They first wore this special light-weight summer version of their red-white-red strip in the 3-2 World Cup final tournament extra-time loss to West Germany in  Estadio Guanajuato, León, Mexico on 14 June 1970. After leaving Mexico, England reverted back to their long-sleeved white and red uniforms and it wasn't until 1973 that they saw a need to revive short-sleeves. A yellow change kit was introduced and quickly discarded. Then, for their final tour of the Umbro contract, in 1974, England re-introduced the short-sleeved red aertex shirts last seen in Mexico, before Admiral took on the contract and developed their own lightweight shirts for the warmer months.
