insert. Ribbed absorbent panel down each side of shirt covering underarm
and inner sleeve. Three ventilation holes surrounded by white circular plastic
below each absorbent panel, two adjacent to the side-seam and one
alongside the top adjacent ventilation hole. Four ventilation holes surrounded by white
circular plastic in the small of the back, arranged in a diamond shape
with the lower ventilation hole further away from the others. Large embroidered
emblem on left breast, alongside neck insert, with the lions redrawn and
in a lighter shade of blue than previously. Tudor roses also
re-positioned and re-drawn with yellow centres and green petals.
Embroidered white star above the emblem. Lower-case 'v' in red (for home
games) and blue (for games played away from home) below the emblem. A
white scroll, outlined in blue, below the 'v', with the opponent's name
in capitalised blue lettering within it, and the year in red (for home
games and in the World Cup finals tournament) and blue (for other games played away from home) below the scroll. Two embroidered red concentric
diamonds on right breast, alongside neck insert. Plain red number on
reverse and in centre of chest. Surname in capitalised red lettering

emblem, a white scroll, outlined in blue, below the 'v', with the
opponent's name in capitalised blue lettering within it and the year in
white below the scroll. The armbands worn in the World Cup by Steven
Gerrard featured the FIFA
MY GAME IS FAIR PLAY logo. |

 Nike's acquisition of Umbro in 2008 instigated
the most significant change to the design of the England kit in 35 years.
Fortunately, it was met with almost universal approval, for it was a wonderful
homage to the kits of long ago, following years of elaborate tweaks to the
cherished national uniform.
It was kept under wraps until the first game,
against Slovakia, when the players emerged in tracksuit tops so that the shirts
could be unveiled in front of a large crowd at Wembley, together with the
watching television viewers on Setanta Sports, just before the national anthem
was played.
With a complete overhaul of the kit, Umbro used
lightweight cotton and Savile Row tailoring to produce a bespoke fit for each
player. The following ten unique points were highlighted by Umbro to emphasise
its originality:
1. It's 'Tailored by Umbro', 2. Fabio Capello was
involved from the start, 3. Designed to make players feel confident, 4. It was
built from the inside out, 5. It's designed to work with a base layer, 6. Bobby
Moore proved an inspiration, 7. It looks and feels like cotton, 8. The 'Three
Lions' badge is new, 9. It's made-to-measure for the players, and 10. Even the
tiniest detail is special.
Aside from the way it was made, the design included
a host of features to please the traditionalists. A number of countries were
switching to kits of one colour and England were consequently wearing all-white
to avoid a clash, so it made sense to make that the first-choice combination.
This was also popular with those who could not understand why England had to
wear blue shorts when blue was not present in the English flag. Navy shorts were
retained, however, as an alternative and used on a single occasion (in Ukraine).
The gold star that had been present since 2003 was
also not a popular embellishment, so to change it to white (and only visible
when actually holding or wearing the shirt) was a neat compromise. So too, were
the similarly white Umbro logo and 'Three Lions' emblem on the shorts. Then, to
make the impact even more spectacular and minimal, numbers were not present on
the chest or the shorts for the first game.
There was more to behold. The socks were completely
devoid of emblems and logos, being plain white, but it was the shirt that,
inevitably, drew most attention, drawing comparison with the old plain white
'dress shirts' worn by England from 1880 to 1954. Perhaps the best innovation,
however, was the crest. To see the Three Lions restored to their former glory,
with no Umbro or 'England' labelling, with the colours restored to the
re-positioned Tudor Roses, with the lions re-drawn and rendered in a brighter
blue, with the emblem itself being bigger and standing out better, and with the
return to the scrolls of the 1950s displaying the opponent's name, it really was
a superb effort on behalf of all concerned.
On the field, it was quite successful, too, with
England qualifying for the World Cup in South Africa. Unfortunately, the opening
two games of the tournament were disappointing draws and they switched to their
new all-red change kit
for the remaining two games.
Then came the biggest surprise (as far as kits go, anyway) when, rather
than letting this fabulous design run for two years, as was the Umbro
norm for the past decade, a new kit was unleashed for the second game of
the 2010-11 season. It was also impressive, but not quite as good as
this one... |
