March 3rd is the date of the release of these fine-looking away kits. It has been officially unveiled by UMBRO today, although it was actually revealed for the first time yesterday during Kasabian's live concert in France, as frontman Tom Meighan put it on for the encore. You can watch the scenes below.. Lol at the booing.
The brand new kits will be part of England's dress code for the pitches of South Africa come July. Described as a 'modern classic', the shirt, it embodies beautiful simplicity (somewhat of a theme nowadays on ORIGINAL LONDON.) and uses just three different materials, tailor-made. This reboot of a retro design features a red jersey with gold branding and a relatively large three lions badge, with white cuffs at the end of the sleeves, which I reckon is a love or hate. I think it complements the old style perfectly, thus making me a fan. I think the whole concept of UMBRO's new "Tailored by England" thing is really spot on and according with the style of the nation's lifestyle and football. This kit will be in use until 2012, and I'm looking forward to seeing it in action.
