England to reveal new kit…on the pitch
Instead of the usual, slightly naff press ceremonies where certain players look oddly uncomfortable, according to Setanta Sports, the first time anyone will see the new kit is when they’re sat at home on the telly, watching England take on Slovakia on March 28.
Lets just hope it isn’t that leaked one…
Its an interesting tactic, but its a bit of a gamble. I mean, I assume sales won’t do that well if we got beat. A convincing victory however, that might mean that people start to think good things about it.
Unless it looks like that leaked one.
Its a home kit, and of course, should England qualify for 2010 (looking good at the moment), it’ll be the kit we wear out there. Mind you, if it is that leaked one, the only people wearing it will be the ten outfield players I should think. Sorry, am I going on about it a bit much? Its just because I’m a bit scared thats what its going to look like.
Idealy, I think a more back to basics shirt would be nice. I quite liked the Euro 96 ones with the badge in the middle. Just don’t think about that away kit. although to be honest, thats fine save for the colour, and the memories.
I also think blue trim is the way forward. I know, as it was pointed out to me before that the St George’s Cross is in fact White and Red, but thanks to 1966, we’ve usually got a red away kit, and I think a bit of varity is nice. We’ve had some quite nice England kits with blue trim, and it sort of is the tradition. If you have red trim on the shirt you sort of have to have red or white shorts, and it doesn’t look as athetically pleasing, for me at least.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing what Umbro have come up with when we take on Slovakia. Fingers crossed they give us a classic, and not something god-awful. Assuming that that leaked one isn’t real, I would assume that the real one will be leaked before that game anyway, so we’ll keep you updated.

I would quite genuinely prefer the shirt you’ve used in your post to the (hopefully fake) shirt that was leaked.

Hey, isn’t that the McClaren era kit?

No, that’s McClaren’s tactics.
