I've definitely got to register my opinion in this thread that the new England kit is loving lovely. Both the home and away kits are amazing and I may actually have to buy one this year. I basically really hate garish kits, so I do appreciate the Spain and Germany kits too.

The away kit hasn't been leaked yet has it?

From a couple of pages back there is this

Not a leak per se but it should give you a good idea.

Adidas is a German company and IIRC the German national team has been a marquee team for them for a long time, kind of like how Nike has focused on Brazil and the U.S. since they got into soccer.

I really liked their previous home shirt, not sure what to think about this one. The badge is nice but the colors on the lines to the right are bizarre.

That badge looks much nicer in closeup, and I don't mind the stripe colors. Still, no 2006.

I think he was referring more to the colors being pretty dull, they're not as bright as they used to be.

That shirt is way too classy and toned-down to have bright yellow and red stripes down the side.

Just got my order through from bornprosper, so i thought id take pics for the thread.
All the tags seem genuine and so does the label.
I do like the "made in england" bit, as it was sent from Tailand.

Very good quality, and if its a fake, its a very good fake.
The only thing i dislike the the feel of the text on the back, it feels rubbery, but i dont have a genuine one to compair against.

Let me know if you want pictures/closeups of anything

It doesn't say "Made in England", the wording is a sneaky little trick by Umbro to make you assume that.

The name and number seem really low down on the back to me, I don't have them printed on my genuine shirt but I've seen plenty with them and it's a lot higher up.

I did notice that... but it does say "Bellamy", so maybe they print them based on the distance from the players' ears for Ultimate Realism(tm).

That shirt does look pretty drat good, though. I think I'll order the new Man Utd home from there soon!

It's turning out to be quite hard to find a place selling a ROI away shirt, even online it's only available in a few places and there's no option for numbers or anything. I'm not sure I'd even be an M size since I'm a small guy and that's the lowest size available. Oh well, as long as its here by saturday to ensure my team's victory. (If they lose you will know that I didn't get it in time to wear while watching the match)

Not only is the shoulder cut-out stupid as hell, but the badge on the right shoulder? The crest should always be over the heart! :psyduck:
