Following the white kit launched by Umbro in 1987, it was a further year before its red equivalent saw the light of day after the 1984 red kit had made two further appearances in the 1987-88 season.

With England poised to compete in the European Championship in Germany, the new red kit was launched at Wembley against Colombia, a match which saw England lift silverware in the form of the Rous Cup, following the 1-1 draw with the South Americans.

It the same design as the white kit, apart from one subtle difference. There was no 'Three Lions' motif on the socks, rendering them identical to those which were worn with the 1984 red kit. Why they were not present is open to speculation. Perhaps, navy-blue lions on a red background wouldn't have worked, nor a white patch on red socks, or having the lions appear in white.

With England not requiring a change kit during the 1988 European Championship and Umbro producing new white and red kits in time for the 1990 World Cup, this kit only lasted for 17 months, though its last appearance was a battling goalless draw in Poland which saw England secure their trip to Italy for the World Cup.
