The away shirt was a striking red with a dual-layered shadow pattern. The top layer featured rows of large interlocking diamonds, while the underlayer had smaller, more densely packed diamonds, creating a textured effect. This design was part of a broader trend in the early 1990s where Umbro introduced more textured and patterned elements into football kits. The shirt had a v-neck collar and was paired with white shorts and red socks. The iconic Three Lions crest was embroidered on the chest, and the Umbro logo was positioned on the right side.
This kit was worn during the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, including the memorable quarter-final match against Cameroon. The red shirt became iconic due to its bold design and the team’s performances during the tournament.
