    Ah mate, what year is the edition of your book. A bit of blue is ok, just a bit mind.

    They can look like super-heroes as much as they want, if we are going to be painfully truthful they will collapse in craptastic style as England do in every major tournament.

    Still as it's the Euros hopefully there won't be too many references to 1966 but I wouldn't bet on it.

    As I am retired I might pay a bit more attention to the tournament than usual but when I worked and when it was on during the day I hardly knew what most of the results were and I think I've only watched about two finals, which is about one less than the World Cup finals I've watched.

    I've always thought the England kit should mimic the flag, really. White with a hint of red at home, red with a hint of white away.

    I get that the blue is a carry over from The FA's logo but I'd prefer white/red. :)

    Oh no Rawmok. If thats the case we should also have green. England's flag is red and white. Great Brtain's flag is red and white and blue.

    What position does the short bloke with the long hair second in from the left play?

    The problem is for kit design that you have a strict colour palette and style (i.e. shorts and a top), but you are supposed to make it look new. If it isn't different in some way from everything before, there is no point in having a designer. Athletics often does better as they can play around with the Union Flag...initially thought I disliked the 2012 kit, but ended up loving it.....mind you, any kit looks good on a podium. :)

    Posing like super heros?
    This lot look like they're all suffering from chronic constipation.

    The kit is horrible, but they mostly are.

    Apart from the blue socks with the red kit, I can't see anything terrible about it. It's a kit.

    True to an extent but if that's the case then stop bringing out new ones every 2 years!!

    Forster and Butland may get a chance to impress with Hart injured for the two England friendlies.

    Looks like a kit for a non specific soccer team from a 90's Gillette advert.

    Anyone know how long Hart is out for? Expected back in time for Euros? Fingers crossed.

    Don't care what colour the kit is, so long as it's red and white. But please can we have a rerurn to loose fitting shirts so I can actually contemplate buying one?
