Four months after the launch of Umbro's new white kit, its red equivalent appeared on the tour of South America.

Although the red shirt was only worn against Uruguay, the shorts and socks were worn in every game of the tour, paired with the white shirt in the other fixtures, in Brazil and Chile.

The shirt got off to an inauspicious start with a 2-0 defeat, but next appeared at Wembley when England changed from their usual white against Finland and proceeded to slam five goals past them. This was the first of three consecutive resounding victories in the red shirt, the most prestigious of which was against the mighty West Germans on England's last ever appearance in an Airtex shirt which helped England to acclimatise much better to the rarified atmosphere of Mexico City than their jet-lagged opponents.

Four months later, England qualified for the 1986 World Cup in style, by despatching the Turks at Wembley, wearing an unusual combination of red shirts, navy blue shorts and red socks, for the first time in their history.

On their return to Mexico for the World Cup, the cuffs were removed for extra ventilation, though the shirt was not in the Aertex material. However, this version was not used in the tournament. A new white kit was introduced in 1987, but it was to be a further year before Umbro came up with the next red kit.
