Finally...it's here

Here it is. Looks like the Nike one a lot but to be fair to Canterbury, they have not messed around with the concept that England play in a white shirt and white alone. Great to see the midnight blue socks back too, always looked like the England team were overly concerned with the threat of deep vein thrombosis when they wore the white ones. Thumbs up from RGN, classic Canterbury styling, modern shirt technology but with its roots firmly in tradition.

The purple one I'm not so convinced by. Inspired by the tracksuit the players used to wear in the 80s and 90s (or the 'purple nasty' as Matt Dawson referred to it in his autobiography) for me it's too garish and looks like an Arsenal away kit. However I can imagine it becoming a Christmas present favourite for the younger fans and it could be fun to try and beat the aussies or saffas basically dressed as aubergines.
