England Retro Shirts

England remains one of only seven national teams to have ever lifted the World Cup. In 1966 at Wembley Stadium England beat West Germany wearing the iconic red away shirt. The red England football shirt is still a favorite with fans and attempts by the F.A. to change the away kit to grey in 1996 led to a backlash from the media and fans. The grey kit was only worn for three matches before being withdrawn.
The white home shirt has remained largely unchanged since Englands first international game against Scotland in 1872, occasionally extra coloured piping or flashes have been added to the shirt, the 1982 World Cup in Spain saw England add red, white and blue shoulder panels. In recent years the Cross of St. George has also been added to many shirt designs. Occasionally England have needed to play in a third kit, this has mainly been all blue, the 1970 World Cup match against Czechoslovakia in Mexico is one of the few occasions this shirt has been worn in a match.
There are many iconic England shirts, Gazza famously dried his eyes on his shirt after being knocked out of Italia 90, Terry Butcher turn his white shirt red with blood during a a vital World Cup qualifier in Sweden, Bobby Moore swapped his England shirt with Pele after an epic match in the 1970 World Cup. The most iconic of all England shirts will remain the red away shirt worn by Bobby Moore as he lifted the World Cup in Wembley in front of the home crowd.

Why dont you sell the 1982 England World Cup shirt?
It’s a great question! Currently we cannot find a supplier of the 1982 England shirt. Personally it’s one of my all time favorites, as it was the first football shirt I ever owned!
I’ve asked a few suppliers if they have plans to remake the shirt, but I’ve not got any feedback yet ;-(
I think it would be a hugely popular shirt with the fans. If you’d like to see the 1982 England shirt re-issued then add a comment here and lets put some pressure on the retro shirt manufacturers like Toffs.com & Kitbag.com to get this classic England shirt remade.
Just had a reply from Toffs.com about the ‘82 England shirt, Unfortunately they can not produce this shirt, this is due to licensing issues with Umbro and Admiral.
Gutted that i cant get hold of a retro 82 shirt been searching for a while now!!

You’re not the only one, was hoping the 82 shirt might be my ‘lucky’ shirt for South Africa. The only place I’ve seen them for sale is on Ebay, some are the original shirts from 82 others look like cheap knock offs.
