The 2008 England Away Shirt?

Posted on January 25th, 2008 in England by admin

Check out the image below of England’s 2008 away shirt, which will be worn for the first time against Switzerland on Wednesday February 6th at Wembley Stadium for Fabio Capello’s first game in charge, fans won’t be able to get their hands on it until March 12th as Umbro have delayed release of the kit.

England 08/09 Away Kit

England Away Shirt 2008/09 England Mockup

Granted this is just a mockup of what the shirt could look like, but it is using the latest information we have, the FA’s badge will be centrally positioned on the shirt and you can expect the gold star to appear above that, position of the Umbro badge is up for debate but on the right shoulder is kind of common nowadays and the Umbro diamonds over the shoulder are something the brand are trying to bring in to make their kits instantly recognisable. Don’t be suprised if the kit doesn’t look a lot like this, if you’ve seen any other images, post them below.

Edited to add another mock made by Tim, see comments below.

    cheers for the pic
    where did you get it from ?

  2. Ben said,

    as for the design

    I like it a lot. wondering if the shoulder “flags” go over the shoulders ?

  3. Winkins said,

    If you ask me, it looks bad. How bad? The worse since 1994/95 away shirt …

  4. Jon said,

    Appalling. It looks like a training shirt and is not too different from the previous 2 away shirts. With not qualifying for anything I thought they would have pushed the boat out to try and win back the fans and sell shirts. They should have gone back to the old sky blue kit, that would have sold more. This will be the first England kit in nearly 10 years that I won’t be buying.

    must have taken the Umbro designers all of 2 mins to come up with that. They probably went on the computer and moved this season’s template shapes around a bit. The one world cup star thing looks embarresing plonked in the middle. I can see what JJB were getting at. I hope when Nike take control they will inject some more marketing control than the current bods at Umbro

  6. Ben said,

    any idea if the number will be under the england logo, umbro logo or on the left side ?

    are the sleeves a bit “longer” than usual for ss sleeved shirts ?

  7. Augustus said,

    Uninspired and looks like whomever designed it didn’t really have his heart in it and desperately wanted to be somewhere else. Will suit the current squad down to the ground.

  9. swissgripen said,

  11. LFClondon said,

  12. Micah said,

    Looks like a Denmark shirt to me…

  13. Alexandre da Fiel said,

    Looks like the Nottingham Forest shirt.

  14. keizy12 said,

    must say umbro ir jst rubbish designers now i used to like them but now they have taken it far enough,
    its ok through because the shirts matches the england squad awful :D

  15. Garrett said,

    I think that it looks good, probably looks better when it is on a player. This is the jersey they wear when they beat Germany later this year in Berlin :)

  16. Trev said,

    Looks like a rugby skin tight top. I also see umbro couldnt resist using some wihite in their. Arent all umbro away tops white? excluding birmingham.

  17. dave said,

    Yeah, of corse. You will thrash us, you will beat us 5:1 as you always do. This shirt is ****. It is the 2004 version with center badge. Its boring and it sucks.

    Its pathetic how umbro and england even try to promotoe such a lousy shirt of a looser squad. Get your free capello shirt with every pre-order, new technique and fabric….laugh laugh. In the end you´ll look like sore lossers in your hyped shirts.

  23. Ben said,

    It’s a fake and I fell for it.

    I can’t see why England would have the exact same kit as Nottingham Forest. I think it is photoshopped.

  24. Nacho said,

    How did this even get posted? Its so obviously fake.
    If those shapes in the shoulders would have been diamonds then maybe, but its just random shapes that dont fit into any of the umbro templates realeased lately. Also, the shirt would have some more details as umbro´s major deal is england and they would take more than 5 minutes to design a kit….

  25. Gavin McElroy said,

    im irish and i think its alright trev blackburn havent got a white away top birmingham have got a white away top its thier 3rd kit is red come on you toon

  26. J.T said,

    SORRY GUYS. I WISH IT WERE’NT REAL. BUT IT IS. AT THE PHOTO SHOOT WE WERE ALL SHOCKED WHEN WE SAW IT. BUT WE HAVE TO WEAR IT. IT’S NOT POPULAR WITH THE TEAM EITHER.

  27. adam said,

    hahahahahaha that rank haha so funny :L:L pmsl

  28. Peter Crouch said,

    This kit is fake. The badge is on the right and the umbro sign is in the middle. The white squiggles on the top are infact diamonds like on the club kits.

    P.S. I am joining Newcastle for £7m

  29. RYANN BABAEEEE said,

    HEY HEY DIS IS WICKED WEN DUZ IT COME OWT IN DAH SHOPS !! PATTERN IS SO SWEET MAKES TOP LOOK GENIUS.

  30. brad said,

    ryann babaeeee, its fake exactly same as nottingham forest and same as last away kits desing, umbro have new desings now

  31. Tim said,

    Knowing what the Umbro template is this season, surely it’s more likely to look like this:

  32. Jon said,

    Tim

    try a mock up using sky blue with navy trim, see if it’s any good, I think they should have gone with that for a bit of a change.

  33. brad said,

    oohh yeh blue kit that should look nice like mexico 70 kit

  34. harley 2 said,

    i would prefer to wear the england 97/98 top

  35. Tim said,

    Here you go Jon (that’ll be £39.99 please):

  36. Jon said,

    Thank you very much, the cheque’s in the post…..(well it works with the credit card company!). I think that looks good, maybe more of an Italia 90 style blue, but either way it looks great and would defo sell more than whatever umbro have come up with!! Thanks for that.

  37. D King said,

    Had an idea why don’t England alternate away colours. Red for World Cup years (when they quality), just in case we were ever to get to the final (it could happen Greece won Euro 2004), Black of Grey if we fail to qualify. For the Euro years any colour, maybe gold, silver, yellow, blue. How cool would a gold, black or yellow England shirt be. I’m bored of plain red away shirts. Maybe the new one should be baby pink to embarrass the players as much as they have embarrassed the whole country.

  38. Tim said,

    Mr King, have you never noticed that national team’s kits tend to be based on the colours of their flags? Hence white and red kits for England (with occasional blue exceptions) rather than black or gold.

    Have you also forgotten the horror of the grey kit we had in 1996?

  39. Tim said,

    This any more like it, Jon?

  40. Jon said,

    Spot on, thanks again. I’ll have to learn how to use photo shop one day. That looks great, better than the real one, I imagine.

  41. trigga said,

    i think england should have white kit for home, red for away and blue for third. or am i the only one tired of seing us play croatia and both teams wear away kits?

  42. trigga said,

    soz guys. definatly a red kit.

  43. Ash Oram said,

    Its Alright but it looks buet i that blue they should have that as away and the red for 3rd P.S Reading For the league next year

  44. harley said,

    that iz the best fake shirt i have ever seen. i would prefer to wear that than have to wear the real one.
