Umbro England 96 Home Jersey

Description

Show your national pride in retro style in the Umbro England 96 Home Jersey in White, a classy, retro-look jersey that delivers all-day comfort.
An understated recreation of the iconic Euro 1996 shirt, worn by the likes of Alan Shearer, Paul Gascoigne, Teddy Sheringham, and Gareth Southgate at England’s home UEFA European Championship, the Umbro England 96 home jersey transports you back to a period of unparalleled optimism and promise in the country. The Euros arrived to a backdrop of English bands like Oasis and Blur topping charts and British film Trainspotting receiving critical acclaim at the cinema, and the now world-famous tournament anthem Three Lions (Football’s Coming Home) added to the fervour to create a remarkably positive atmosphere.

England delivered on the pitch, too, topping their group with a memorable 2-0 win over Scotland and a 4-1 demolition of the Netherlands. A tense 0-0 draw against Spain in the quarter-finals led to penalties, but the Three Lions overcame that test. Their thrilling run would unfortunately not get its fairytale ending, though, with defeat coming against Germany in the semi-finals, after that infamous Southgate sudden death penalty miss.

But the memories of that sun-drenched, beer-soaked summer evoked by this shirt have a fond place in the minds of hardcore England fans to this day.
