England wore this Umbro strip, as singularly
unattractive as the companion away uniform, in three of their four matches at
the World Cup 1998 final tournament in France, although in the last of those
three matches, the round of 16 clash with Argentina, they wore all white,
substituting the white shorts from the away uniform for the navy blue shorts of
the home uniform. The jersey made its first appearance in the1-0 World Cup
1998 qualification loss to Italy at Wembley Stadium on 12 February 1997.
It was worn for the 22nd and last time in the 2-0 friendly match loss to France
at Wembley on 10 February 1999.
The colour of the three lions in the emblem was changed
from the traditional navy blue to a light blue. The navy blue lions,
however, reappeared on the
next home white shirt in
1999. Like the
1995 home white and
1996
away blue shirts, this jersey sported the manufacturer's name in
large, capitalised letters above the three-lions emblem in the middle of the
shirt, although, as on the 1996 away blue shirt, the team name also appeared in smaller capitalised
letters below the emblem. Still, a stranger to football might conclude
it was the Umbro team's jersey. |
