English Soccer. New England Football Shirt Release. |

The new England football shirt has been released to an eager
public by soccer clothing manufacturers Umbro. This has been a
long awaited release and some UK stores had upset the
manufacturers and the English Football Association by selling
them days before the official launch at the England v Uruguay
match on Wednesday. Both Umbro and the F.A had also been
publicly annoyed at the English newspaper, The Sun, for
releasing photographs of the new kit some weeks ago.
Nevertheless, these new shirts are bound to stampede out of the
stores as one of the must have garments of this summer. The
style of the shirt is very close to that of the shirt worn by
the victorious England team of 1966, still the only side to win
the World Cup for the nation, and as retro fashions are most
definitely de riguer at the moment, sales should be very strong.
The shirt itself is a very simple design, almost totally red
except for the manufacturers logo and a small shoulder flash. On
closer inspection there is an intricate woven pattern on the
back of the shirt that displays Englands famous three lions
crest. The front of the shirt also features a single golden
star, which is in honour of that famous victory in 1966.
Replica football shirts always become prized fashion accessories
in a World Cup year and I expect the sales to be constant until
the tournament kicks off in June, when sales will be huge.
Englands fanatical football fans will see to it that this shirt
is a big success, and expect Umbro to be rushing back to the
sewing machines if England perform well at the tournament.
