England's Home Uniform 1984 to 1987


Worn 8 times
56% successful


Notes

England wore this red Umbro shirt from 1984 to 1987.

The numbers on the back of the shirt were white, with a red border, outlined in white, except for the game against West Germany in Mexico City, when England reverted back to plain white numbers in the old Umbro style.

This uniform was also worn in the last warm-up match before the 1986 World Cup, a 4-1 victory over the local side from Monterrey, Mexico, England's base for the first round of games.
