Umbro unveiled a retro-inspired new England football strip at the team’s match with Slovakia on Saturday and it seemed to prove lucky, helping the team to a 4-0 victory.The Umbro kit features the brand’s Football Tailored concept, and was designed in a collaboration with Savile Row-trained tailor Charlie Allen.
The football kit, which is made up of a white T-shirt with a collar and reworked Three Lions crest, is influenced by retro shirt designs but uses modern performance fabrics and design techniques.
Umbro senior designer David Blanch said the kit was inspired by the all-white strip worn in the 1966 World Cup semi-final against Argentina.
Blanch said: “The new England kit is a performance garment rooted in tailoring. There’s a lot of work that has gone into the kit design and the detailing. We wanted to kit that would make the give the players pride and confidence to wear.” He added that the t-shirt would have a recommended retail price of £50.
