The Umbro kit is part of a campaign called ‘From England with love’ and is derived from the devotion of England Rugby fans, whether in the stands or at home who all share the same passion.

The kit itself has a classic look with a very simple design for the primary strip. The fit sees no collar but a basic round neck, whilst the jersey is mostly plain white with subtle detailing on the front.

The alternate strip sees the return of the bold navy colour and is still a relatively simple design. The sleeves feature a red band, whilst the front has the same detailing as the primary strip with a lighter section around the chest area.

WHAT THE DESIGN FEATURES OF THE ENGLAND KITS MEAN

“Both home and alternate kits feature contoured anatomical knit panelling and a structure that moves with the body, giving players a feeling of power and confidence in their performance. The crisp white of the home shirt emphasises muscular biomechanics, while the rich navy alternate shirt provides a regal aesthetic.”

Included in the press release is a hot take from England vice captain, Ellis Genge.

“Every time we wear the rose, whether it’s in training or in a game, we play with passion and pride. Playing for your country at a major tournament is a buzz and an honour. We’ll be heading to France fully prepared and can’t wait to give our all for our fans, family and friends.”
