Umbro worked with Saville row tailor Charlie Allen to create a look that brings it back to the glory days of the classic football kits, proper sportswear as Umbro envisioned it at the start. Complete with a new crest which is more true to the original, which they describe as classic in a modern way.

salim says: shirts definately got that classic feel, but most people I’ve spoken to over here are not crazy about it… jury’s still out!
In that picture, I think it looks great. On Saturday, when they actually wore it, I thought it looked pretty awful though. I think it had some extra embellishment on it and no number on the front (which is a nice touch). I’ll see what it looks like on Wednesday eve and then make up my mind I suppose!
