Nike bought Umbro out a few years ago. The only reason why it took Nike so long to get there hands on the England deals was because a certain Mr. Prothero (Yes, he of part time fame) was head honcho at Umbro. He left for (many) pastures new and bang, they were in as quick as a flash.
If the shirts is the one that rufus has put up, which I believe it is then I like it.
Really not sure about that away kit. If England win a tournament and are wearing the away shirt, then not sure maroon should be the colour for the occasion.
Personal fave of mine, but deffo in the love it/hate it section. Only worn twice by the senior team, technically 3 times but one of the appearances was in the 1995 abandoned Ireland game...

Like the home, nice clean design that is definitely influenced by the '86 shirt.
The away is an unusual maroon/purple colour with some crazy coloured side-panels!

Now, just need Lineker to get his head on the end of John Barnes cross and the World Cup will be ours...
surely that maroon sh*t is some sort of training gear????
Loving the home, especially with the blue and red trim on the sleeves
