As you can see from the photographs below the new England Away kit is a real stunner, making it a real must have for this summer’s World Cup.  The shirt was designed by creative consultant Aitor Throup using a unique articulated body form.

The shirt combines the latest technology with a smart, minimalist style.  To ensure comfortable fit for the players during the World Cup it is made of three panels each dedicated to a specific aspect of the game. A lot of thought has gone into the functions of each panel:

• The front body of the shirt consists of a cotton/polyester blend designed to give players comfort and protection
• The back and sides use a mesh fabric to ventilate the body
• The sleeves are made with elastane so the players have maximum range of movement

Once again the England kit has been expertly designed by Umbro to offer maximum comfort and cooling, so whether you’re playing in an international football match or sat down the local (more likely we know) cheering on the lads then you’ll be comfortable at all times.

So get behing England in 2010 and invest in the official replica kit.

This England Shirt is Manufactured by Umbro and features Climate Control Technology called ‘Trilogy’.

The 3 Lions Crest is embroidered on the upper left hand side of the chest, to the right hand side you can see the printed Umbro Diamond logo with the stamp of authenticity embossed directly onto the shirt itself.

What is the ‘Trilogy’ Climate System and how does it work?

• 1st stage: Moisture vapour is produced before sweating. However cotton fibres in the ‘Trilogy’ fabric absorb this vapour which slows heat build up, allowing the skin to breathe naturally.

• 2nd stage: The body naturally creates sweat as a cooling system. The new ‘Trilogy’ material helps disperse moisture away from the skin, to the outer surface of the fabric with specially coated synthetic yarns.

• 3rd stage: Once hot the skin needs to be cooled. Special engineered ‘pores’ allow any excess body heat to escape through ventilation, which helps control your temperature.

In short, sweat takes heat away from the body, the ‘Trilogy’ system facilitates this process by being semi porus, letting the bad stuff out whilst still letting the fresh air get to your skin.
