Making a soccer jersey is harder then it looks, especially when it’s ‘tailor made in England.’ The new Umbro England Home Jersey 2009-2010 is the perfect way to celebrate your favourite team (England) when they head for the World Cup this summer in South Africa.

The first thing I noticed when I first put on the jersey was how comfortable it felt. Its lightweight design and perfect tailor fit makes it seem like you have nothing on (yeah, a very strange feeling).

Though light, the shirt is packed with the perfect combination of cotton, polyester spandex and nylon. The inside of the shirt consists of a light mesh material that help’s control sweat and cool air distribution. However, the outer material is a cotton blend which gives the jersey the appearance of a dress shirt rather than a jersey. Stretchable material are also strategically placed to add to the general comfort and manoeuvrability of the jersey.

If you are a true English soccer fan than you will appreciate the fact that Umbro has gone back to its roots and designed the jersey with commemorative features.  These include the classic three English lions on a shield beautifully embroidered over the left shoulder. Also, above the blue shield there is a subtle white five point star placed to commemorate England past World Cup win in 1966.

Another great note on the jersey is that not only was it tailored by Umbro in England (the only soccer only brand), it was also co designed and approved by team England as well.
