      | 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 
		shoulder. Embroidered emblem on left breast, with 
		
		 '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. |
