England 1995-1996 Away Kit

The England 1995-1996 Away Kit, crafted by Umbro, is a legendary piece from the UEFA Euro 96 tournament hosted in England, where the Three Lions reached the semi-finals under Terry Venables. The jersey features a striking indigo blue base, a departure from traditional red away kits, with a unique tonal aztec-style geometric pattern across the front, adding texture and depth. Light blue and red accents highlight the polo collar and sleeve cuffs, while the Umbro logo and England’s Three Lions crest are embroidered in light blue, creating a vibrant contrast. The kit is completed with indigo blue shorts and socks, accented with light blue and red details, maintaining a cohesive, bold aesthetic.

Made from Umbro’s lightweight polyester fabric, the kit ensured breathability and comfort for players like Alan Shearer, Paul Gascoigne, David Seaman, and Steve McManaman during key Euro 96 matches, including the iconic 4-1 win over the Netherlands. This kit, often remembered for its distinctive design and association with the “Football’s Coming Home” era, remains a fan favorite for its bold style and historical significance. Ideal for collectors or nostalgic fans, personalization options for names and numbers, such as Shearer #9 or Gascoigne #8, are available on retro reproductions.

Originally released in 1995 and retailing at approximately £40, the kit is no longer available at official retail but can be found through resellers like Classic Football Shirts, eBay, or Retro Football Kits, with prices ranging from £80-£300 depending on condition and authenticity.
