England's Away Uniform 1954-56

 

 
 
Worn twice
100% successful


Notes
 

This Umbro shirt is the red away version of the lightweight v-necked home white shirt that made its debut in the 1954-55 season. Curiously, the numbers on the back of the shirt were orange. The shorts were white and the stockings were red, with white tops.

It was worn on only two occasions, both of which were 3-1 victories against the World Champions, West Germany. At Wembley in 1954, a crescent with the opponents' name (GERMANY) and the year were displayed underneath the emblem, whilst in Berlin, eighteen months later, they were excluded, as illustrated on the shirt worn by Jeff Hall above.
