This is the new Peruvian national team third shirt produced by Umbro for 2011/2012.
The shirt has been specially produced to commemorate the only Peruvian team to make it to a World Cup quarter-final so far before being knocked out by eventual champions and one of the most famous teams of all-time, Brazil. In a time when the away shirt didn't feature Peru's now famous sash design, the South American wore a solid red design to play again Bulgaria where they mirculously won 3-2 from being 2-0 behind with all 3 goals scored in the second half of the game.
The shirt itself is may remind you of the current England away shirt but with a collar, and you're right, except that and the logo and a couple of other minor things such as a miniture rosette at the bottom of the shirt and different authentication marks. But with such an important meaning behind the shirt to Peruvian football fans, and such a close resemblance to the 1970's shirt, it's sure to evoke stong feelings for a nation lacking in in the football glory department.

The article seems a bit confused as Peru have been to four World Cups: 1930, 1970, 1978 and 1982. This is based on the 1970 change jersey.
Corrected
kits 30 years ago. at least until the 80's where all the same! same style same fit just different colors and patterns
This is not bad, but this exact shirt can be done by any brand. Just changeanything that says Umbro. It isn't original, and that shouldn't be rewarded.
But with the away shirt being red with a white sash is this shirt really necessary?
Agreed!!
Just calm down and enjoy...
the shirt's good
