1984 Home – Launched 29 February 1984

The new England Home kit was launched in 1984 and made it’s first appearance in the 2-0 friendly defeat to France held in Paris on the 29th February 1984. The shirt was eventually retired on the 29th April 1987 after the 0-0 European qualifer against Turkey in Izmir. The kit was worn a total of 27 times but never in any international tournaments. The shirt also marked the first shirt manufacturers during Umbro’s third and final spell in charge of making England kits.
