New England Kit Unveiled, Literally
By: Daryl | February 4th, 2008With his first England squad all named and ready to go against Switzerland on Wednesday, Fabio Capello did his first bit of commercial PR work for his new Football Association paymasters. There are only so many variations on “red away shirt” that Umbro can come up with, so nothing to get too excited about. But you have to admire the dramatic and very literal unveiling, as the curtain drops and Capello stands there grinning in his seemingly permanent dark suit flanked by Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen, all dressed up in the new garment.

i was so worried that the italians and americans would be the only one with hideous jerseys, but luckily i was wrong.
Misery loves company!

Yep. There must be a law of diminishing returns here. If you change your kit every couple of years, eventually there are only hideous designs left.

I first thought the Revolution had new jerseys when I saw the headline…just saying.

What’s the point of this unveiling before the Switzerland game? Surely England will be playing in their regular white kits against the Swiss team in their traditional red kits. Or will there be a switcheroo for the sake of some merchandise sales?

A commercially motivated switcheroo wouldn’t be a huge surprise, though there’s no official word.

You’d think the English and Italians would have some good looking jerseys, since Milan is the fashion capitol of the universe and, well, the English have a good taste themselves. But apparently not…

It’s like the American flag threw up on their kits.

I like it. Reminds of the 1980s England ones. Though I agree they are running out of ideas.

I’m not in love with it, but I think it’s better than the plain red they had before.
