Notes

The uniform made again by Umbro, made its debut in the home World Cup 2006 qualification match against Northern Ireland on 26 March 2005.  The smartly designed shirt made its last appearance against Netherlands in November 2006.

Much akin to the red away shirt, the most notable feature on the shirt is the St. George's cross on the right shoulder, which again, is the only embellishment on a very clean design, spoiled only by the Umbro diamond,  and the gold star marking England's sole World Cup victory, now made of plastic!  The star, which made its relatively unobtrusive debut on the sleeve of the 2003 home white uniform, has also been moved to a spot above the three-lions emblem, in conformity with the practice adopted by other national sides that have won the World Cup. 

The match fixture and date returned to their more-prominent position as on the 2001 white shirt, the middle of the chest, after being hidden away at the base, for the 2003 home white shirt. This shirt was also notable for the fact that small emblems, complete with the team name, ENGLAND, were introduced to the base of the numbers on the back of the shirt, the first time that the Three Lions had found their way onto the reverse.  The only previous attempt to include symbols within the numbers had been with Admiral logos, also at the base, from 1982-83.

For both the World Cup qualifying fixtures and the tournament itself, England wore the FIFA WORLD CUP GERMANY 2006 logo, heat-pressed onto the upper right arm.  For the 2002 tournament, the logo had been printed on the shirt.  Then, when they began the next qualifying campaign, it was replaced by the UEFA EURO 2008 logo, also heat-pressed onto the upper right arm.
