White shorts, with white drawstring. A strip of navy blue diagonal stripes rising from right to left, comprising upper third of seams, with two navy blue concentric diamonds after every fourth stripe. A large red triangle, and below that, a large navy blue triangle, each with its base running down middle of seam, underneath navy blue stripes. Two embroidered navy blue concentric diamonds on left thigh, with 'umbro' in navy blue lower-case lettering underneath. Embroidered emblem on right thigh.

Red socks, with white turnover, three navy blue lions on each. 

• A second version of the shirt was prepared for the 1990 World Cup in Italy, but was never worn in a full international. 'FIFA WORLD CUP ITALY '90' was displayed in white directly underneath the emblem.
• A third version of the shirt was prepared for the 1992 European Championship in Sweden, but was never worn in a full international. 'EURO 92 SWEDEN' was displayed in white directly underneath the emblem. The number was also worn in the middle of the chest in white, in the same font as on the reverse of the shirt, with a red border, outlined in white, and the player's surname was worn above the number on the reverse, in plain white.
• On the European Championship uniform and for the games played in 1993, the lettering underneath the concentric diamonds logo on both the shirts and shorts, was capitalised i.e. 'UMBRO'. There was also a registered trademark i.e. ® placed above the gap between the 'R' and the 'O' in white.
• A fourth version of the shirt was introduced for the US Cup games in 1993. The emblem was changed to accommodate a white margin around it (as per the 1993 white shirt), the number on the reverse was changed to a plain white font (the same as the one used on the new white shirt) and the player's surname was worn above the number in capitalised plain white lettering, but in a different font to that worn in the previous year's European Championship.
• For the uniform's last appearance, against San Marino, the shirt was the same as for the US Cup games, apart from the absence of a name on the reverse. Thus, it became the fifth version of the shirt (although only three were worn in full internationals).
• For the game against Australia in 1991, and for the two games played in 1992, the right seam of the shorts switched the relative positions of the red and navy blue triangles, with the blue being above the red. The left seam remained with the red triangle above the blue.
• For the games in 1993, the blue triangle was above the red triangle on both seams of the shorts and the emblem was changed to accommodate a white margin around it.
• Against Germany in 1993, on the right thigh of the shorts, to the left of the emblem, England wore red numbers in the same font as on the reverse of the shirt.

This red uniform could be forgiven for having an identity crisis, for even though it only made eight appearances in three and a half years, there were five different versions produced.

It was launched in 1990 as the second-choice uniform for the World Cup in Italy, but it was worn first in a pre-tournament friendly against Uruguay at Wembley. The World Cup shirt was not required as England wore their new white uniform in every game of their glorious run to the semi-finals, where they won the toss, forcing West Germany to wear their green change uniform.

The original uniform was only worn twice more, in 1991, whilst subtle changes were already being introduced. For some strange reason, the shorts underwent a design change. Someone decided to switch the positions of the red and blue triangles on the seam. Not on both seams, just the right seam. We had an advance preview of this when England wore all white in Australia, incorporating this new white pair with the home shirt and socks. By the following year, this same changed design had become part of the red uniform.

In 1992, Umbro updated their logo to use an upper-case version of their name, together with a subtle trademark, but this change was not present on the red kit worn against Brazil and Finland in the warm-up games for the European Championship. It did, however, appear on the uniform earmarked as a second-choice for the tournament in Sweden. Unfortunately, like its World Cup predecessor, it never saw the light of day.

1993 gave us an overhaul of the red uniform. As the new white shirt had changed the font of the number on the reverse and included a re-designed emblem with a surrounding white margin, the red was obliged to follow suit. For the US Cup, we also had surnames on the reverse (for the first time on a red shirt) and a number on the shorts. Then, just to keep me on my toes, they changed the design of the shorts again. This time the triangles were consistent on both seams, with the blue completing its transition to being above the red. Unfortunately, nobody told Stuart Ripley about this vital change and he appeared in the uniform's last appearance, against San Marino, wearing the original shorts design.

• This uniform was also worn with the 1993 home blue shorts when England won the 1993 European Under-18 Championship at the City Ground, Nottingham, with a 1-0 victory against Turkey. The uniform was identical to that worn by the full squad, except that the emblem included a crescent underneath, which contained the word 'YOUTH'.
