New England football shirt.... Opinions?

**Kieron** · 28-03-2009, 6:11 PM

I hate it. Terribly bland.

**Steven** · 28-03-2009, 6:31 PM

Its white and it has the 3 Lions. What is there to complain about?

... Its not like its a skin tight white kit trying to pass themselves as sophisticated like a Serie A side

One of the most boring international footie shirts I have ever seen, it just looks like a standard polo shirt

Can get it for £35 most places

Sort of football shirt that you could wear more often as it looks quite smart

Shady · 28-03-2009, 7:07 PM

...perfect, no messing about and nothing you would be embarressed to wear (so long as you are an England supporter - before other countries join in).

I can see nothing wrong with this - classy and avoids the chavness of recent kits. Best one since the excellent reversible kit of years ago (although nowhere near as good as the Keegan era red, white and blue shoulders)...

Happy with that...

Gunhawk · 28-03-2009, 7:08 PM

why are they all going for the retro look these days?

Is it to recapture the '66 feel? juts looks like a cheap knock off polo shirt

Talking about kits, have you guys seen the rediculous Man utd proposed retro kits?

Manchester United may go retro with new kit - Telegraph

Marc · 28-03-2009, 7:42 PM

god, i hope those united kits are just some sort of cruel joke, i think the players would revolt if they were told to wear that!

i'm a bit torn over the england one; it was alright, but i don't think it'll look very good when we have to put all the numbers back on the front and shorts for the qualifiers

**mpn** · 28-03-2009, 7:48 PM

I love it

. simple yet smart. Defenitly getting one.

GavBrookes · 28-03-2009, 8:06 PM

The man utd kit is a shocker, wouldnt be able to contain myself laughing if they made the players wear that. Hilarious.

The England kit like, its simple back to basics retro stlye, not sure about the collar. Think i would have preferred it without, the polo stlye collar, think it would have been better without one. When will the away version come out?

Anythings better than all countries wearing more or less same top[save colours and badge] because they come from same maunfacturers.

TopMeTom · 28-03-2009, 9:31 PM

Like it, LOADS.

**Greg** · 28-03-2009, 10:22 PM

Crikey. You could buy a £5 white polo shirt, sew two badges on it and hey presto, you have the new England shirt.

It does look more like a normal polo shirt than a proper football kit.

Like all Umbro kits before it, it's crap.

jendo · 29-03-2009, 2:25 AM

I am shore this kit will sell well, you never go broke appealing to the lowest common denominator. As for retro, seems nothing but creative marketing. To me retro means styled on something that used to be cool and since when has a Umbro polo shirt been cool.

jendo · 29-03-2009, 2:26 AM

I think it will look a lot better next year with an extra star on the front.

You going to glue that on your polo shirt with the badges?

lol, if we win the world cup I might actually buy one

hdsport · 29-03-2009, 5:24 AM

It's fine they've decided that an England shirt should be white with a badge (like it used to be). The only problem is with white shirts, shorts and socks it's very white (could do with dark blue shorts).

As for anthem jackets however

Yep i agree, the all white shirt is much better, as for the white shorts etc, i think they may have not used blue shorts as last night Slovakia were in all blue, perhaps the normal set up will be with blue shorts.

Umbro died about 15 years ago.

Having a laugh

Miron · 29-03-2009, 5:16 PM

first pictures look OK, but can someone please post one image of the male shirt

kopchoir · 29-03-2009, 5:57 PM

The shirts on display last night will have to change they got special dispensation to wear without numbers on the front and the shorts for 1 game.

Just another money spinner only watched about 10mins of the game last night just couldn`t be arsed watching it really have no time for the national team anymore.

No no. If you can pull that look off then all-white is a good look. Yes OK its very much "look at me"

Yeah I said it

JohnG · 29-03-2009, 8:54 PM

I don't like it. I've never liked football shirts with collars on, they remind me of rugby shirts and I hate rugby!
I won't be getting one of these.

la gran siete · 29-03-2009, 9:24 PM

best England shirt in ages
