    Nice shirt, remove the Sweden flag and you have a great leisure shirt.

    Nice one Umbro. How about this as next season’s Umbro template for Everton, Sunderland, West Ham etc.

    It’s a fake. Until I see a player wearing it I am not having that, the laces in collar arent even attatched to anything, no holes

    erm daddy … isn’t there a picture of a player wearing it there??
    nice shirt though, got a traditional look about it

    Wonderful kit, much better that the last Sweden effort.
    Nike must be showing Umbro’s designers how it’s done! Their kits are so much better this year than in the previous few seasons. Hope this is a sign of things to come.

    Oh dear god. This is bad. Just an absolute horrible kit. How can they stand to wear that? Oh my dear lord. They must feel like fools in Sweden having to sport that crapola. Just bloody awful, that is. My good god. I just can’t get over how ugly that is. Yellow?? Ya couldn’t have come up with a better color choice? Red? Black? White? Green? Orange? Blue? Pink? Purple? Silver? Gold? Platinum? Transparent? Heck, I would have taken transparent over this hideous color. I think I’ve had my fill; just know that my opinion is that this jersey is terrible, and I am standing by that opinion no matter what anyone says. Sure, you all may think it’s nice, but not me. So go ahead, flame me. You deserve to, because your opinion is wrong. I stand by mine, not by yours. So please, just go away and stop bothering me. Thanks a lot. Have a nice day.

    The shirt is not a fake. It was worn against France and will also be worn in another friendly. For the World Cup qualifiers the ‘normal’ shirt will be worn. As for the colour the shirt is based on the one worn in the 1958 World Cup.

    Sweden did a similar thing in the cenetary year of 2004 when a gold shirt with navy blue shorts and socks was worn in a couple of friendly internationals.
