The new crest looks discernible and quite stylish here. I like the subtle white star.

This is apparently the shirt



Awful

Terrible, Worst Kit Ever!

if you bother to watch the videos from umbro, you would find out:
1. that umbro let slip the design themselves.
2. that the shirt and badge is inspired by the 1950s shirts hence the plainness, which I believe is what most england fans were looking for (look at the reaction to the fake with the red sleeves).
3. that their were aiming for the design NOT to look like a football shirt.
4. the shirt is designed to fit better on you.

If you don\'t like it, don\'t buy it. I just find it strange that when nike produce retro-ish designs everyone seems to love them, but umbro put some work in to give us a shirt that actual might be as comfortable as \'normal\' clothes to wear in all conditions and people are indifferent or split.

What is wrong with people, you all talk complete ******** on here especially you LoveAlfa who has decided to point out 6 things that are actually things that are all the good things about the new kit.
The new kit is a classic well crafted shirt that is full of quality which the all the shirts these days are missing. The players and fans can finally wear an England shirt that is worth wearing as well as something that they can be proud to put on. It actually looks like something of quality so that is what we should be demanding as a country with tradition and heritage.
So grow up you miserable ****s!

Wow, I love this kit I think it is pure quality, hopefully the red umbro logo means a return to red numbering as well, I wish they would re-design the away shirt in a similar fashion.

My only concerns with having plain retro kits is that firstly they are so awesome that there is nowhere to go in terms of design for the next kit, it is always bound to be a let down.

Secondly I always feel that modern boots could make a kit like this look a bit out of place, but if every player was forced to wear adi pure it would be pure class!

1. Why are umbro trying to \'hide\' the star? either make it obvious its there or get rid of it.
2. In one of the videos Joe Cole can be seen holding a sample with a red number suggesting red numbering is back.

I don\'t understand all the censoreding about the kit...it looks great...very retro also very original the way the crest and the oposing team are placed.

***ual

nah i reckon it might be a special kit like man utd and man city done in the derby match ?

looks like my old P.E kit.....we might as well play in skins....... ; )

so.. they say they\'ve tailored each shirt for every player ?. so every player who ever gets picked for England is going to be \'measured up\' are they ? . . and they have done that already have they ? . each possible Engand player , thats quite alot of eligable players to tickle with the tape measure

what a load of B O L L O C K S mate.

no wonder its the most expensive one yet - they\'re budgeting in a trip for each player to be driven to some tailor\'s place ! . . . . Its probably nice up close .... the shirt....dont look worth 50 sheets though

no matter what umbro does or even any other company, england fans are never happy with what is released. Its a class shirt, that shows our history. I\'d far rather have this look then one that has to many complicated designs and colours that its hard to even reconize the crest.

This is a brilliant kit. Enough said.

That David Blanch chap in the second video. Man alive, that is one annoying intonation in his voice. SPEAK PROPERLY MAN!!! DON\'T SPEAK TO ME LIKE I\'M AN IDIOT!!!!!

its alright all this English heritage bulls**t but since when has the working class football supporter been able to afford tailored garments. its ok the players on 50 grand a week having individually fitted shirts but its the fans who will be buying the shirt mass produced by machine in JJB.

I and a lot of other true supporters wouldnt care if they played in a t shirt and bermuda shorts as long as we put up a decent performance on the pitch.

they should spend more time on the training pitch practicing penalties and preparing to play far more superior teams in the later stages of the cup than prancing about down the f-ing tailors.

Yet again building up the hype then disappointing the fans when they fail to deliver on the pitch.

i like the new kit. it is classic. maybe a little bit too classic but...
i am expecting to see the numbering. umbro should use an oldstyle numbering (something like the man united numbering on their remake kit from the derby against city last year on old trafford). the shirt will look much better with numbers on the chest. and maybe if possible no names on the back, just numbers from 1 to 11 and that´s all.
and another fact - you can wear this jersey on the street with jeans and it will look great! not like a typical football shirt, something modern and classic... so wear it with pride! and COME ON ENGLAND!

you don´t need the name england on the england shirt! everyone who looks at the crest will know - THIS IS ENGLAND AND NOTHING ELSE! the three lions are enough!
