Yes. I seem to remember this too. Apparently, they believed it made it easier for the television audience to distinguish between the sides :shrug:
Personally, not a fan of matching shirts and shorts one bit unless that is the team's traditional strip. Really not sure why this bothers me so...
One of the things I always love about international tournamouts is the choice of strips from the different nations.
Early days so far, but for me the Italy away shirt (that bizaarly they wore at home vs. Turkey...?) is my current standout favourite.
(Gratifyingly, the England one isn't too...
