Ewetube Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/england-wear-all-white-kit-world-3204389 FIFA want sides to wear singled-coloured kits in order to improve the quality of high-def television pictures from Brazil Getty"http://i1.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1776184.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Steven%20Gerrard-1776184" alt="Steven%20Gerrard-1776184"> All-white on the night: England went one-colour in Euro 2012 England will ditch their traditional kit for an all-white World Cup strip after bowing to demands from FIFA. The Zurich bureaucrats have urged nations to adopt predominantly single-coloured kits to improve the quality of HD pictures from Brazil. And it means Roy Hodgson’s men will run out in Manaus, Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte in their World Cup group clashes wearing a kit that some old-school fans will not appreciate. While the hosts are understood to be ignoring FIFA’s request and sticking with their canary yellow shirts and blue shorts, England are following other major countries and falling into line. Germany last month revealed their all-white design, ditching their traditional black shorts. Spain will be all-red, Portugal all Port-red and Italy all blue, although France are sticking with white shorts under their blue shirts. And the FA and strip manufacturers Nike have agreed a new all-white outfit which will be unveiled before the Wembley farewell friendly against Peru in May. Hodgson’s squad wannabes posed for secret publicity pictures in the new strip and the Marks and Spencer grey World Cup suits at their Hertfordshire base after yesterday’s training session. England have worn all-white in the past, notably in the 1966 World Cup quarter-final against Argentina, David Beckham’s glory game against Greece in 2001 and in South Africa in 2010 and at Euro 2012. But blue shorts had returned to the kit for Roy Hodgson’s World Cup campaign, the first since Nike replaced Umbro after taking over the Manchester-based brand - as England kit suppliers. The design for the change kit which England will not need until the knock-out phase - is not yet known but will also be announced before the tournament. Fabio Capello’s men wore all-red in the win over Slovenia and humiliating defeat by Germany in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Typical, we fall into line, but the French ignore the rules with no sanctions (yes, that is a thinly veiled reference to all the EU rules that we blindly follow, but the French ignore, with no problem. The only example of me wishing we could be more French). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Just tell FIFA to fook off. Don't play in their tournaments and set up a 6 nations for the gap year. Give it a while and FIFA will come begging. Then tell them to fook off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Does anyone actually care? I mean, if this kit was announced as the new kit would people be moaning? Or is it the fact that the FA have given ground over a nothing request that's got people upset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
