Red shorts, with navy-blue drawstring, edged with thick navy-blue hoop around each leg, adjacent to a purple rectangular strip containing shadow sets of two concentric diamonds repeating around the front of each thigh, with two diagonal stripes parallel to top right and bottom left of each outer diamond. Alternating zig-zag and concentric diamond shadow stripes, overlaid with diagonal shadow hoops, rising from right to left and consisting of sets of three emblems, each alternate set upside-down. Each emblem overlaps the next one to the left of it, or to the right for the upside-down sets. Two embroidered white concentric diamonds on left thigh, with 'UMBRO' in capitalised white lettering underneath and a registered trademark placed above the gap between the 'R' and the 'O' in white. Embroidered emblem, with white margin, on right thigh. Small navy-blue rectangular tag down left-hand seam, with 'ENGLAND' in capitalised white lettering.

Red socks, with navy-blue turnover. Sets of two white concentric diamonds repeating around each turnover, with two white diagonal stripes parallel to top right and bottom left of each outer diamond, all edged with two white hoops.

• An additional long-sleeved version of the shirt was introduced for the games played in 1995. Against the Republic of Ireland, Tony Adams, Paul Ince, Graeme Le Saux, Matthew Le Tissier and David Platt wore the long sleeves, as did David Batty, Colin Cooper, Le Saux and substitutes, Stan Collymore and Warren Barton against Brazil. The cuffs were navy blue, with a thin white stripe near the edge.

3 - Darren Anderton, Graeme Le Saux, David Platt, Alan Shearer

• Le Saux, Platt and Shearer wore it for the entire 207 minutes. Anderton also started all three games.

• Three players won their first England cap in this shirt. Kevin Richardson never appeared again, whilst Steve Bould won one more cap and Warren Barton also won his third and last cap in the strip.

• For two other players (Colin Cooper and John Scales) it was also the last England kit that they wore.

2 - David Platt

1 - Darren Anderton, Peter Beardsley, Graeme Le Saux, Alan Shearer

• Platt had been top scorer in the 1993 white shirt and the previous red shirt.

• Le Saux's spectacular volley against Brazil was his only goal for England.

• Anderton also scored his first international goal in this kit and went on to score seven.

• Beardsley's ninth goal was his last in England colours.

3 - David Platt

It had been 24 years, since England had last taken to the field in an all-red kit, but this 'wine-coloured' kit saw brief action over a twelve-month period in the mid-1990s.

The first game was a resounding victory at Wembley against a Greek team bedecked in blue. White would have sufficed for England, so it was presumably a marketing exercise for the home team to switch to their new change strip. Similarly, the trip to Dublin, nine months later, saw the wine kit retrieved from the cellar to contrast with the emerald green of the Republic of Ireland. This match was remembered for darker reasons, however, with inexcusable crowd violence ending the contest after less than half an hour.

Thankfully, the swansong for the kit was against a more peaceful backdrop, as the watching Pelé witnessed the Wembley climax to the Umbro Cup tournament, although England were taught a footballing lesson by the World Champions, Brazil.
