 This
kit was a purple version of the
red kit
introduced in February 2012. It first appeared in an England youth
international, and then on Rachel Brown, the England women's goalkeeper.
The
kit never made it to the full international side, but Jack Butland wore
the shirt pictured above in both legs of the Euro 2013 Under-21
Championship play-off against Serbia.
The two photos of
Butland's shirt appear by kind permission of the National Football
Shirt Collection (England Match Shirts),
also part of the Neville Evans Collection (curator Simon Shakeshaft). |
