WINNING STYLE - The New England Football Shirt is Guaranteed a Place in our Summer Wardrobe Line-up

LONDON, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Tailored by Umbro, the new home England shirt for Euro 2012 will be available to purchase online at Very.co.uk from 29^th February 2012.

Recently unveiled by shirt manufacturer Umbro, the all white with red trim design is said to be inspired by the colours of England's St George flag.

Pre-order the (hopefully) winning style of the Umbro England Men's Short Sleeve Home Shirt, £54, today at Very.co.uk.

The first ever solely white design for the team, the new shirt certainly isn't without its interesting features. A simple red stripe under the collar is said to reference Sir Alf Ramsey's famous jacket, worn when England won the World Cup in 1966. Perhaps the team is hoping that past trophy success will be repeated at the upcoming summer tournament, as well as bygone style.

Maybe the winning goal will be scored by Peter Crouch wearing Puma football boots or perhaps Wayne Rooney's Nike footwear will help England on its way to success at the tournament.

Let's hope Euro 2012 makes certain that the latest England home offering is a football shirt and tournament that both team and country will never forget.
