New England kit by Nike

Well... Where do we start with the new England jersey unveiled yesterday?

 

Let's be brutally honest, it looks like Germany's 1966 kit, complete with the dark coloured round neck collar. It doesn't seem the best of moves from the FA, who are of course celebrating their 125th anniversary, to choose a colour scheme so closely linked with their biggest footballing rivals.

 

The dark colour in question has been revealed as being a very dark navy, as opposed to the black it was originally thought to be. I bet that makes everyone feel so much better about their national team wearing a glorified copy of a retro Germany jersey!
