Ha! Like it Jon – I remember a similar thing happening with one of the last Diadora Scotland shirts. Each shirt was individually numbered apparently so you could tell if you had a knock-off shirt.

I think you meant Slovenia, whose away kit is green.

Their new away keeper kit looks a bit strange, white cuffs and logos just doesn’t look right on yellow to be honest.

Anyhow anyone heard about the load of England away shirts were in a lorry that got hijacked? It happened at the industrial estate where I work, but what the lorry with those shirts in was doing in Flintshire I don’t know! We wear a different red shirt around here!

To coincide with the release of the new England away kit, Umbro have also released a new away England goalkeeper kit.

Here’s a picture… http://www.flickr.com/photos/umbrofootball/4345426095/in/set-72157623260049878/

I was a little surprised to see this as I thought the light blue with navy shorts and socks kit was the new England goalkeeper away.

As worn by Robert Green in the Slovakia match at Wembley in September, as Slovakia wear green, which is of course the same colour as the England goalkeeper home kit.

The light blue with navy shorts and socks is my favourite of the now three England goalkeeper kits, so I hope this doesn’t signal the end for it.

According to one newspaper website the crowd in Paris were less than impressed when that guy from Kasabian had that shirt on. Just as well that gig wasn’t in my country, otherwise there would have been a riot!

I think the shirt would have been better off without any contrasting trim, in other words no white cuffs. Also the inclusion of red stripes on the shorts is interesting, because instead of making the kit look like the England away kit of the 60’s (which had plain white shorts), it makes it more like the WELSH home kit of the same era.

That third shirt thing on the other article is interesting but every time England play Croatia they wear white (or red, as was the case in Euro 2004) and Croatia wear blue (even at home). Paraguay’s new kit is plain red on the back and just two white stripes on the front, so both teams could possibly get away with playing each other in their home kits.

Must say Umbro (Nike) have gone overboard with this ‘tailoring’ concept…now the shirt appears to have ‘jointed’ elbows on the long sleeved shirt (how muc). Everton had non contrasting collar and cuffs in the sixties – blue collar/white cuffs so nothing new in that ‘concept’ either!

I’m a bit unsure if I like the fact it has white cuffs but a non contrasting red collar. Might have looked better if both were the same.
