    The new England shirt made by Nike is reminiscent of a certain other countries kit...

    It is certainly old school. My school PE kit had more charisma.

    Like or not like?

    I wouldnt say it horrible. Just boring. Nike must have spent 2 minutes on this design.

    I think that is my old P.E kit (just with a different badge and a Nike tick)

    I think there's a reason I've never bought an England kit and this time it'll be no different.

    They are Navy blue, just bad lighting in that picture. I quite like the design, COME ON ENGLAND! We'll all love it if they have success in it :)

    Its ****e. Thought it was a budweiser logo under the badge.

    Can't blame Nike for not spending longer on the kit though, no point spending a lot of time on a kit for a team that will be lucky to get out of the group stages at the world cup. Better to concentrate on the better international teams they provide kits for.

    Nike usually give every country the same design in a different colour.

    Remember the numbers in the circles?

    I appreciate the 'retro' look but it looks plain and boring. They say 'less is more' but it doesn't work in this case - plus the shirt doesn't look like it fits well, Gerrard was wearing it as well and it just doesn't hang right.

  12. Not bought an England shirt for well over ten years, no intention of changing that no matter what the kit looks like <ok>
