Description
	White shirt, with thick, vertical shadow-stripes down the front and back, bounded at the front by a thin navy-blue stripe running from the collar, along the collarbone and down each side of the shirt. Thick navy-blue hem at the bottom of the shirt. Thin navy-blue stripe at outer edge of white v-neck collar and cuffs. Thick red vertical stripe running down the left of the shirt from the navy-blue stripe at the collarbone, down to the hem. Capitalised white lettering, written vertically, right to left, in a white boxed panel near the bottom of the red stripe, split into three columns and two rows to state 'KICK OFF|ST GEORGE'S DAY|23:04:2001' and 'FULL TIME|ST GEORGE'S DAY| 23:04:2003'. Thin navy-blue stripe on back running from one cuff to the other, along each underarm and down each side of the shirt before curving across the lower back and up the other side. Small label with flag of St George attached to middle of bottom navy-blue stripe on back. Thick navy-blue stripe running from same point in middle of lower back, down to hem. Mesh panel down each side of shirt covering underarm, inner sleeve and lower back, bounded by navy-blue stripe down each side and by a thin, raised white stripe running up the front of each sleeve from the cuffs to the thin navy-blue stripe on the front of the shirt. Thin, raised white stripe curving around each shoulder to join white stripe running up from cuffs. Shadow stripes on reverse bounded by navy-blue stripe and raised white shoulder-stripe. Embroidered emblem on left breast, overlaying the red stripe, with 'ENGLAND' in capitalised white lettering inside a navy-blue panel above the emblem. Two embroidered navy-blue concentric diamonds on right breast, with a registered trademark in navy blue, placed underneath the gap between the left point of each diamond. Large, rounded rectangular silver label attached to right hip, with two navy-blue concentric diamonds in top-left corner, with a registered trademark in navy blue, placed underneath the gap between the left point of each diamond, above three footballs, the middle one in the foreground obscuring about a third of each of the other two, each comprised of rounded pentagonal panels, outlined in white. Holographic emblem on the right of the label, with 'ENGLAND' in capitalised white lettering inside a navy-blue panel above the emblem, 'AUTHENTIC LICENSED PRODUCT' in dark grey across the lower end of the label and three small rectangular blocks comprising of blue, red and white across the bottom edge. Multiple curved white lines comprise the background of the left-hand side of the label, crossing over horizontal white lines across the lower third, and the holographic emblem is at the centre of a white-lined cross, running to each edge. Navy-blue number on back and in centre of chest in same font as previous England shirts. Surname in an arc in capitalised navy-blue lettering above number on back in same font as the numbers (the letter Q was unused, whilst X was only used on a women's shirt, and Z only on an under-21 shirt). Match details flock-printed in navy blue underneath number on chest in following format (not actual font):   ENGLAND v SWEDEN 2·6·2002 Navy-blue shorts, with navy-blue drawstring. Thick, red vertical stripe running down the right thigh, including waistband. Two embroidered white concentric diamonds on left thigh, with a registered trademark in white, placed underneath the gap between the left point of each diamond. White number, in the same font as on the shirt, above the Umbro logo on left thigh.  Embroidered emblem on right thigh, overlaying the red stripe, with 'ENGLAND' in capitalised white lettering inside a navy-blue panel above the emblem. White socks, with 'ENGLAND' in capitalised navy-blue lettering inside a broad white hoop, edged with two thin red hoops, inside a navy-blue turnover. Two large navy-blue concentric diamonds on calf. Navy-blue toes. England's captains wore a red armband with the Three Lions emblem on it, as on the shirts, but in the World Cup finals, David Beckham wore a yellow armband featuring the FIFA FAIR PLAY logo in blue.
Variations	The surname and match details did not appear on the shirt for the first seven games in which it was worn. In each of the games in which surnames were displayed (apart from the last, against Macedonia), the shirts worn by Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Gary Neville and Phil Neville also included their first initial, with a space either side of the full stop i.e. A . COLE, J . COLE, G . NEVILLE and P . NEVILLE (Andy Cole's shirt against Greece only displayed his surname i.e. COLE). The last game did not involve Joe Cole or Phil Neville, so the shirts worn by Ashley Cole and Gary Neville only displayed their surnames, COLE and NEVILLE. For the three games played in the 2002 World Cup finals tournament, England had the 2002 FIFA WORLD CUP KOREA JAPAN logo sewn onto the right sleeve.   Against Sweden in the World Cup, David Beckham's shirt had '50th Cap' displayed centrally, in navy blue, just above the hem at the bottom of the shirt. Gary Neville (v. Netherlands in Amsterdam), Sol Campbell and Teddy Sheringham (v. Denmark), and Gareth Southgate (v. Portugal) also made their fiftieth appearance in this shirt, and may also have had commemorative embroidery. The names of England's opponents, as they appeared in the match details, were BRAZIL, DENMARK, GREECE, HOLLAND, MACEDONIA, PARAGUAY, PORTUGAL, SOUTH KOREA and SWEDEN. England were named second in the away fixtures (against the Netherlands and Korea Republic), plus the World Cup fixture against Denmark. In the other seven fixtures in which the match details were displayed, England's name appeared first. When match details were displayed for the first time, against Greece, a leading zero was used in the date (06·10·2001). For all other games played on dates where the day or month was in single figures, no leading zeroes were used in the details displayed on this shirt. A different font was introduced for the shirts beginning with the pre-World Cup friendly in Korea in 2002. In the last fixture in which the shirt was worn, the match details were no longer flock-printed, but heat-pressed vinyl onto the shirt, in a third different font. There were also full stops between the numbers of the date, rather than the centred mid-points of the flock-printed details:   In the home games against Albania, Greece and Paraguay, and away to the Korea Republic, England wore all white. An alternative pair of white shorts was worn, with navy-blue drawstring and the following design details: Thick, red vertical stripe running down the right thigh, including waistband. Two embroidered navy-blue concentric diamonds on left thigh, with a registered trademark in navy blue, placed underneath the gap between the left point of each diamond. Navy-blue number, in the same font as on the shirt, above the Umbro logo on left thigh. Embroidered emblem on right thigh, overlaying the red stripe, with 'ENGLAND' in capitalised white lettering inside a navy-blue panel above the emblem.
Most Appearances	16 - Paul Scholes 14 - David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand, Emile Heskey (2 sub), Michael Owen (1 sub) 16 players made their international debut in the shirt, including Ashley Cole, who went on to make 107 appearaces. 13 players won their last cap in this shirt. For Teddy Sheringham, it was his 51st appearance, at the age of 36. Steve McManaman made his 37th and Darren Anderton, his thirtieth. There were three debutants in Sven-Göran Eriksson's first selection, also the first appearance for this kit. Two of them (Michael Ball and Gavin McCann) appeared as half-time substitutes and never pulled on the shirt again, whilst Chris Powell also won his fifth and last cap in this kit.
Top Scorers	9 - Michael Owen 5 - David Beckham (1 Pen.) 3 - Emile Heskey, Paul Scholes 16 different players, in 17 games, scored for England in this shirt, including the Paraguayan defender, Celso Ayala, who scored an own goal. A third of Owen's goals came in the historic 5-1 victory against Germany, in München. Eight players scored their first international goal in this shirt, although five of them never scored again for their country. Steven Gerrard's first gave England a vital lead on the stroke of half-time in München and he scored his 21st and last sending England through to the 2014 World Cup finals. Contrary to the FIFA records, Rio Ferdinand's goal, against Denmark, should have been awarded to the Danish goalkeeper, Sørensen, as an own goal, for he diverted Ferdinand's header, which was going across the six-yard box, into the net in his attempt to save. It took the defender another five years to score for England. Seven players scored their last international goal in this shirt, including Sheringham's eleventh, a headed equaliser against Greece, with his first touch of the ball as a substitute. Nick Barmby scored England's first goal in this kit, his fourth and last for his country. It was also Eriksson's first match in charge. Curiously, Barmby had also netted the first goal of Glenn Hoddle's reign, back in 1996. Andy Cole scored only once in his 15 appearances, despite 187 Premier League goals.
Captains	14 - David Beckham 3 - Michael Owen Beckham was to remain Eriksson's first choice as skipper, right up until 2006. When Beckham broke his toe before the 2002 World Cup, Owen became England's youngest captain since Bobby Moore, aged just 22.
This kit heralded the dawn of a new era for the national team. A bold move saw the appointment of a foreign coach for the first time and the team took to the field in a rather striking new kit, which included a prominent red stripe down the left side as an obvious reference to the cross of St George. Umbro proudly claimed that the new shirt was 26% lighter than its predecessor, with mesh panels and a special multi-filament moisture-wicking fabric. Even the shorts were not exempt from innovation, being coated with Teflon and, therefore, shower-resistant. Replica shirts were initially identical to those worn by the players. A holographic authenticity label on the right hip was your verification of that fact, and there was even a panel (see photo below) near the bottom of the red stripe, announcing the dates between which the kit would be worn. Both features were included in the match-worn shirts. Alas, just eight months later, the shirt worn by Michael Owen and his colleagues changed to accommodate the inclusion of the match details in the middle of the chest, once again rendering it different to the ones that you could buy. Also, strangely, the kit was first worn two months before St George's Day and was last worn over six months before St George's Day in 2003, by which time, a new England kit had already been worn twice! The opponent's name and year were present on the England shirt for most of the 1950s, but from the day that David Beckham's free-kick salvaged a point against Greece at Old Trafford, to take England to Japan for the 2002 World Cup finals, its modern equivalent would be different for every single game. This game was also significant for the fact that surnames appeared on the back of the shirts outside of a tournament for the first time i.e. for a one-off fixture. They were in the same font as at Euro 2000, but now they were in navy blue, instead of red, to match the numbers, and they were displayed in an arc, rather than in a horizontal line across, above the number. One further change saw the introduction of an alternative pair of white shorts. These also included the red stripe and were used to complete a matching all-white variation, rather than having to use the white shorts from the red change kit. On the field, pride was restored following the disappointments of the previous tenure. Eriksson's side recovered the faltering World Cup campaign and shattered the Germans with an unbelievable 5-1 victory in München, ensuring that this kit would live forever in the minds of those who witnessed one of England's greatest-ever triumphs. England suddenly found themselves in pole position in their World Cup qualifying group, but great drama still awaited, with Beckham proving the last-minute hero against Greece to secure England's passage. The tournament itself had its moments, but England were left wanting when it came to the crunch against the eventual winners, Brazil, in the quarter-finals. As 2002 drew to a close, this kit was consigned to the memory and pages such as this.

The Under-21s' shirt had the same match details format on the chest, but only for the last three games, with the team names appearing as ENGLAND U21, ITALY U21, MACEDONIA U21 and PORTUGAL U21. Against Macedonia, the same alternative format as for the following night's full international between the two countries was used (see Variations above). England were named first against Macedonia and second in the last two games in which the shirt was worn. Surnames were also worn on the back for the last three games and also in the three UEFA Under-21 Championship fixtures in Switzerland (these included the letter z, thanks to Bobby Zamora), in which they wore the tournament logo on the right sleeve and the UEFA FAIR PLAY logo on the left sleeve. These were the same as in the same tournament, two years earlier.

Against Macedonia, Shaun Wright-Phillips became the first player to display a hyphen in his name on an England shirt.

England wore the tournament logo on the right sleeve against Sweden and Germany in the 2001 UEFA Women's Championship finals in Jena, and the players' surnames were worn on the back in the same font, colour and style as the men's team would wear, four months later. Unlike the men's shirts, the letter X was required for Vicky Exley. It is presumed that Kelly Smith and Sue Smith each wore their first initial i.e. K . SMITH and S . SMITH.

All of England's other teams also wore the same design, but did not have their names on the back or display match details.

In the UEFA Under-19 Championship finals in Norway in 2002, England wore the tournament logo on the right sleeve:

The last UEFA Under-16 Championship finals were held in England in 2001 and the teams wore the tournament logo on the right sleeve. Twelve months later, the first UEFA Under-17 Championship finals were held in Denmark, and a new tournament logo was worn on the right sleeve.

England's Under-18s competed in the UEFA-CAF Meridian Cup in Egypt in 2003 and wore the tournament logo on the right sleeve.
