New England Away Kit Unveiled!!

It’s the first time a band has been used to launch a new England kit – all very rock ‘n’ roll – as indeed it was back in 1966 which has certainly been used as the inspiration for the new shirt being nearly all red apart from the England badge, the Umbro logo and the cuffs. The kit is completed by white shorts and red and white socks. The away shirt has been created by acclaimed conceptual designer Aitor Throup and, as with the England home shirt, Umbro and Aitor worked closely with Fabio Capello and the England team in the development of the kit, in order to ensure that Umbro created a piece of Football Tailoring that was smart, stylish and instilled a strong sense of pride in the players. The new kit will be worn for the first time on March 3rd when England play African Cup of Nations Champions Egypt at Wembley.
