Might be a dumb question but do they have the crest on them? I can understand not having Umbro on them but the pictures on the site they don't seem to have either ?

Just remember to wait for the actual kit release before ordering, as they will knock ones out based on leaks and I be seen several that are obvious fakes.
Ok now for this season but if you're looking at international or in the future bare this in mind.

I like the away. The marketing says it's similar to the 90 shirt but it reminds me more of the felty one from 2000 :D

The home... I don't know who at Nike thought their curved shoulder pattern template this season was a winner, but hey...

Every year i buy one kit, 1st, 2nd or 3rd whichever i like the best. Well this year i didnt like any of them but i thought the best of a bad lot was the 3rd orange kit.
Well for starters it took 19 days to arrive here in Ireland from the day i purchased it. The total cost was €105 which included p&p and duty. I wasnt over excited because i didnt think any of the kits were all that. Well it is disgusting. Cheap and tacky. Looks like a fake. The orange at the bottom is horrid and is way worse than a pic or seeing it on tv. I didnt realise either that the orange is only on the front. If they continued around the back with it might have made it kinda bearable. The biggest waste of money i ever spent and it will never go on my back

Amazing. Would have looked the b*llocks for us with a claret and blue tone Crest too. ****ing Umbro too, like they're dick teasing us on purpose. :lol:

Awful England home kit. Up there with the worst ever. Where does that shade of blue (especially the shorts) come from. Navy might have been just about acceptable given the historical use of it as a colour.

Looks like something that might suit Finland (no disrespect to any Finns reading this) more than England.

Away kit is fine.

Saw it IRL for the first time at the weekend and it's absolutely shocking.

The orange pattern on the front is literally fuzzy, like it's been through an old photocopier 100 times over.

Like you, if it hadn't been in the official club shop I'd have assumed it was a cheap fake. Horrendous quality.

You won't beat the England kit worn at the WC in '82.

First class.

Went and had a look at the England shirts yesterday, wether you think they are pony or not, it was the first time I’ve ever looked at the authentic (player shirt) shirt, heat ready with all the lines and holes in the already thinner fabric, heat applied logos and badges. @ £115 I almost fell over, but anyway, you can really see the difference between the fan and player shirts, even when the players are wearing them on the pitch, but they only ever tend to be either Nike or Adidas.

anyone know if our players Umbro shirts are any different to the fans version? From closer inspection when playing on TV, I can’t see any difference in fabric, in fact I can’t see any difference at all. Having all that heat technology must help the players, I heard the other day Bayern Munich had to play in a Fan set of kits, and they almost passed out due to sweat, just thought ours should be getting as much help as they could get.

Umbro’s designs this year is enough to tear up what contract we have with them, so maybe we should switch. This will probably be unpopular but I’d like to see what Nike would do with our colours. I designed one the other day, even using their 22/23 dodgy template everyone has, and it came out pretty nice. Will try and post it in a bit.
