TOP 5 best England jerseys

With the World Cup in Russia on the horizon, football fans are eagerly counting down the days. To help pass the time, we look back at five iconic jerseys worn by England, the oldest national team in football history.

1980–1983 Away

This away jersey is a true museum piece, characterised by its large crest, thick shoulder stripes, and a contrasting line across the chest. Manufactured by the now-defunct Admiral brand, the kit reflects the fashion of the era, with players wearing very short shorts and tight-fitting shirts.

1992 Home

A classic white short-sleeved shirt from the 1992 European Championship in Sweden. Its alternating stripes of square diamonds create a continuous chain of overlapping shapes in three sizes, making it a favourite among retro collectors. The design and size of the bibs stand out as a timeless classic.

2013–2014 Away

The most recent jersey on this list commemorates 150 years of the England national team. Featuring a button-down collar, white trim on a gold ribbon, and the years 1863 and 2013 picked out in gold, it was designed to the exact specifications needed by athletes on the pitch.

2003–2005 Home

This home jersey shares design cues with the France 1998 World Cup kit, featuring a red V-neck that extends from the chest to the edge of the large crest. Notably, it was the first time England players wore their initials on their shirts—a departure from the tradition of using only surnames, which had been the norm for much of the team’s history.

1998 Home

The jersey worn at the 1998 World Cup in France. Fans remember this tournament fondly for its vintage feel and the host nation’s victory, led by Zinedine Zidane. It is also etched in memory for the red card shown to a young David Beckham during England’s match against Argentina, with Diego Pablo Simeone watching on.
