Sweden 11/12 Umbro Away Kit

Sweden Away Shirt 11/12 Umbro

Here is the Swedish national team's new away shirt for 2011/2012 manufactured by Umbro, which will be available here.

Sweden who have changed the design of their away shirt as little as a year ago have once again changed designs.

Sticking with the Umbro 'Tailored' style, the new shirt is a darker shade of blue than it's previous incarnation. The main difference comes in the style of a yellow sash, diagnonal from the right shoulder down to the bottom of the shirt.

Really? once again, I am fed up of umbro's typical repetitive designs. I could design this jersey in 5 minutes!

There are thousands of teams wearing new kits every year, you've gotta run out of ideas or in a few years. You can't make a new template for each kit.

So, once in a while, it might get boring, simple or stupid. Umbro kits are, like you said, typical, but which one isn't? Nike has its own typical templates and so has Adidas.

Yes, but the last time I saw a dry fit designed umbro kit was those 2008 England home jerseys! Isn't it about time they change it up?

Hummm...

guess it's a nice play from Umbro considering it's an away kit. Kind of like specially 'cos it dares a bit more than the usual all blue swedish away kit.

Exactly, and as I said before, I could design this in 5 minutes! honestly, how long did it take them to design this? Besides! the crest and sash are misplaced! on such a simple design, don't mess up the basics!

Nice clean design, but the sash placement looks off. It should rather end at the bottom side of the kit rather than just off centre.

Kind of a step down from the last year's away. I own one and believe me it's one of the best shirts I have ever put my hands on - fabulous fabric quality, great design for casual wearing yet with all the performance elements.

On this one I do not really like the contrast between the yellow and blue -- the yellow could be a bit darker.

Why is there so much praise for umbro nowadays? that kit is horrible no two ways about it, I bet if Nike made this shirt it would have been slaughtered, I'm guessing it's cos Umbro make the england kit they get so much praise on this site either that or cos retro is the in thing at the moment.

not for me though really dislike this shirt

i agree with you nike & umbro are the laziest when designing the kits in general. i dont know where they got the idea for being so lazy.. i respect adidas for making jerseys with the club's history and authenticity,e.g. ac milan and ajax they have a picture on the neck inside the shirt, the new argentina jersey, an embossed logo underneath the AFA, Japan jersey with the leaf. also they give space for the patches on the sleeves. Adidas is simple yet sophisticated.

That don't suprise me they're both lazy, Umbro are owned by Nike.

I don't like it. It's not a bad shirt in and of itself, but it doesn't really fit the Swedish color scheme at all, and the sash is a bit on the overused side. Instead, I would suggest an off-center vertical stripe. The kit stays mono-blue (in the blue of the Swedish flag, rather then this inexplicable navy) with the yellow stripe used to break up the monotony of the all-blue. Slap a nice yellow number on the back and we're all set.

Really seems like Umbro is more interested in drawing attention to their own logo, the more I look at this.

VERY UNIQUE AND UNUSUAL IN A GOOD WAY, SIMILAR DESIGN AS TO THAT MADE FAMOUS BY BOTH PERU AND RIVER PLATE BUT IN THE COLOURS OF RIVERS BITTER BUENOS AIRES RIVALS BOCA JUNIORS. VERY SMART AND CASUAL. WOULD BE GREAT WITH SWEDISH LEGEND LIKE HENRIKLARSSON, TOMAS BROLIN, OR FREDRIK LJUNGBERG ON THE BACK

I like that it is an opposite side sash. For years I've been hoping the US goes to this and they came close this past year.

all kit manufacturers use the same base model to make there kits form, they just color them up different

pay attention to all kits there pretty much all the same with just added on bits

add to this that all teams have there say in what they want so Umbro/Nike/adidas etc coudl make something fantastic and the club say's no we want generic and it has to be.

I liked the idea... until I realised they'd put the badge up above the collar bone and dangerously near the left armpit.

Neither of the two colours' hues have anything to do with those on the badge, so the badge looks weak and feeble. All in all it looks like a design intern did it during their lunch break.

Look at some of you gimps giving a genuine critique of this shirt like its made by Giorgio Armani.... its a football shirt, not designer wear. For a football shirt it looks good, and different from the norm (i don't care if you can name 5 teams at a push who also have a sash... think about it)
