Once again, England went to a major tournament,
equipped with a red kit, and once again, it was surplus to
requirements. This was the fourth tournament in succession, in which England had
only worn white shirts. Not since the 1982 World Cup had red shirts been worn at
a major tournament by England.
Despite the emergence of a
pale-blue change
strip,
England persisted with a red kit and a
modified version of this
shirt emerged at the US Cup, the following year.
