I bought this shirt off kitbag.com for a measly £15.00 (RM100 after conversion, plus shipping). This shirt is similar with England’s away shirt, minus the red England crest and red Umbro logo. Since I’ve already got the England ‘home’ shirt, it’s a no-brainer to get the away one.
This red ‘away’ England shirt is sold exclusively at kitbag.com, and I managed to get one in my size. The last time I checked, all the shirts are sold out.
The fitting of this shirt is a bit funny. I bought the largest size available for Umbro (which is size 58), but funny enough, the sleeves area is tighter than usual. My yardstick is the England ‘home’ shirt, and comparing the two is like comparing two different makes of shirts. Is it intentionally for Umbro to make the ‘away’ shirt a bit tighter, in order to differentiate between the two?
The Umbro logo is stitched in red to go along with the red theme. It makes the logo looks invisible.
Even though the fitting of this shirt is tighter, overall the shirt suits me fine. But I wish that the upper arm area is looser, so that I can move my arms quite freely.
This shirt is probably the best shirt I bought this year. I like the material, the colour, the overall fitting (except for the sleeves) and the price. Because of the way the ventilation holes are positioned, I hardly breaks any sweat in the shirt. Bravo to Umbro!
