Tailored in England exclusively for the English FA’s team to wear to South Africa 2010. All white, but for the Three Lions crest embroidered at the left chest. Raised tapering stitches up the sides, with an ultra-soft and flexible Lycra blend lining and underarms. The main body of the shirt is 20% cotton - exceptional in top-flight jerseys, and England has an exceptional team.
Hard luck has been the theme of England’s World Cup campaigns since Jack Charlton, Bobby Moore, Gordon Banks and company brought back the Jules Rimet Trophy in ’66. There’s a song for the hopeful that climbs the UK pop charts for a few months in the Spring every four years before World Cup:
Three Lions on the shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming
Football’s coming home
