Following a decade of releasing a new white uniform every other year, England suddenly introduced a new kit for the first competitive fixture of the 2010-11 season, only 17 months after the previous white uniform had been launched. With most English clubs now changing their home kits at the beginning of every season, it appeared that the national team was intent on following suit, which was a shame, because the shirt it replaced had been the most popular England shirt for some time. However, the retro minimalist theme continued with a shirt designed by Peter Saville. At first glance, it appeared that the only difference was the replacement of the old-style collar with a square collar and more open neckline, but closer inspection reveals a pattern of tiny St. George crosses in red, blue, green and purple across the shoulders, although, as many pointed out, they could not be St. George crosses if they were not red. They symbolise the multi-cultural society of England. We are also told that players' names will appear within the fabric. After following the trend of other nations switching to a single colour for the entire uniform, England now switched back to blue shorts, though this time in royal blue, a shade not seen since the Admiral days of the early 1980s. The royal blue theme continued with the tops of the socks, whilst the names and numbers, and the Umbro logo on the shirt, which had previously been red, were also switched to royal blue. It was always going to be difficult to improve on a plain white shirt that had proved popular. The inevitable outcome will surely be that it becomes less and less minimalist in successive designs, until we return to the days of excessive and pointless additions and flourishes, just so that the kit can be launched as something different each year. Having secured a contract as the FA's kit supplier until at least the 2018 World Cup, the challenge is on for Umbro to consistently deliver designs that continue to instil pride in the national team. The Under-20 and Under-21 teams have each, on occasion, worn a matching pair of white shorts, turning it into an all-white kit. For the European Championship qualifying matches, England wore the UEFA RESPECT logo on the left arm and the UEFA EURO 2012 QUALIFIERS logo on the right arm.
