Variations |
- An Aertex
short-sleeved version of the shirt, with white numbers on the reverse in the
old Umbro font last worn by England in 1974, was worn against West Germany in 1985.
- A third
short-sleeved
version of the shirt was
prepared for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, but was never worn in a full
international. This one featured wider shadow
stripes and a plain red hem replacing the cuffs. The white numbers on the
reverse were as in the previous year's tour and 'FIFA WORLD CUP MEXICO'86' was displayed in
white directly
underneath the emblem.

Four
months after the launch of Umbro's new white uniform, its red equivalent
appeared on the tour of South America.
Although the red shirt was only worn against
Uruguay, the shorts and socks were worn in every game of the tour, paired
with the white shirt in the other fixtures, in Brazil and Chile.
The shirt got off to an inauspicious start with a
2-0 defeat, but next appeared at Wembley when England changed from their
usual white against Finland and proceeded to slam five goals past them. This
was the first of three consecutive resounding victories in the red shirt,
the most prestigious of which was against the mighty West Germans in an
Aertex version of the shirt, which helped England acclimatise much better to
the rarified atmosphere of Mexico City than their jet-lagged opponents.
Four months later, England qualified for the World
Cup in style, by despatching the Turks at Wembley, in an unusual combination
of red shirts, navy blue shorts and red socks, for the first time in their
history. There were four more outings for the red shirt and although a new
white uniform was introduced in 1987, it was to be a further year before
Umbro came up with the next red uniform.
