Probably bought a job lot half price in their Boxing day sale and just stuck the badge on

Yes. I seem to remember this too. Apparently, they believed it made it easier for the television audience to distinguish between the sides

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 much but I want to see Holland in white shorts and England in blue shorts etc. Quite why FIFA / UEFA waste their time ruling on things like this is a mystery to me.

Bill Shankly famously initiated the all red strip for Liverpool in 1964. Prior to that they played in white shorts. He believed it had a psychological and visual impact by making them appear much taller.

Seems this theme is continuing with Hungary and Germany needlessly wearing all red and all white. Boooo.

My top 3:
1. Italy away...total class, less is more
2. Italy home ... classic styling, if it aint broke etc etc
3. England away... as modelled superbly by our own Ben White, nice design, excellent colour contrasts, at last an Engeeerland shirt to covet

Agree. I was watching France v GEmay last night and got thinking why don't more countries use their flag as the basis? E.g Germany with (ahem) black shirt, red shorts and yellow socks. France with the tricolour stripe, Netherlans with red shirt. white shorts, blue socks. North Macedonia's would be spectacular.

I still lust after THIS shirt... (although I fully appreciate the English flag contains no blue...but still).
