Tailored to Win

The new England kit is set to be a return to a classic era in English football with modern technology. The kit is specifically tailored to each player to give the team supposed improvements on the pitch. 

It is seen to be the idle for player that likes his sleeves long or his shorts short. But will it make a difference? Does a well fitting outfit make a successful team?

There are practical improvements to the new strip from a goalkeeper's perspective. The shirt is cut shorter at the sleeve so it doesn't roll over and build up around the glove that can cause irritation and lapses in concentration. 

The 100% win record is certainly a strong positive of the new kit. The 4-0 win over Slovakia and the 2-1 against the Ukraine has given the new strip a good start to it's time with the England team. 

The new kit does have a sense of nostalgia about it and I believe that it is a good idea to introduce new ideas and philosophy into the england team.

  1. I'm getting this because there was a feature in GQ about it.
