@Adam: It’s a little strange considering that I understood the kit would be released ‘on field’ when England play Egypt on March 3rd.

Anybody else find this part a little strange:

“Umbro launched its new England Away Kit during a Kasabian gig in Paris.”

Now unless there is also a Paris in England (and there could be, I’m no geographer) why the heck would they release the new England kit somewhere other than in England?

The kit is nice but have an actual athlete debut it rather than some shit band.

The shirt’s fine, it looks a little cheap in these photos but actually it’s quite a nice looking material.

If only they’d used the shirt crest on the shorts, the red one ruins the kit for me.

And the keeper kit is awful – really awful.
