Pale-blue short-sleeved shirt, with wide shadow
stripes. Navy-blue v-neck, with thin white stripe in middle and two thin red stripes
either side of it. Pale-blue hem on sleeves. Thin navy-blue stripe along

'FIFA WORLD CUP' and then 'MEXICO'86'
(without a space between) centralised in capitalised navy blue lettering
underneath. Two embroidered navy-blue
concentric diamonds on right breast, with 'umbro' in navy-blue
lower-case lettering underneath. Navy-blue numbers on back, in the old Umbro
font last worn by England on the previous year's tour.
Pale-blue shorts, with white
drawstring. White
seams, with two thin navy-blue stripes, each edged with a thin outer red stripe.
Navy-blue numbers on left thigh in the same font as on the back of the
shirt (except that the number one was just a simple rectangular bar with
no base or 'flick' at the top (right)), with two embroidered
navy-blue concentric diamonds underneath, and 'umbro' in navy-blue
lower-case lettering beneath them. Embroidered emblem on right thigh.
Pale-blue socks.
Solid navy-blue diamonds across tops, edged with two navy-blue hoops. |

The photograph above
(right) is of the number-twelve shirt issued to right full-back Viv Anderson for the World Cup 1986 final tournament in Mexico. This pale-blue jersey, accompanied by shorts and socks
of the same colour, was, like the red shirt that
was also issued, never worn in match play at the tournament. England wore their
white shirt in all five of their matches at World Cup 1986. However,
they did wear the pale-blue shorts and socks with the white shirt in the
quarter-final loss to Argentina that put them out of the competition.
