England 1990-93 Away Jersey

The England 1990–93 Away jersey marks a distinctive departure from previous Umbro away kits by introducing a contrasting navy collar, adding depth and authority to the visual composition. The use of a bold crimson red base, combined with a complex geometric shadow pattern, gives the shirt a sophisticated texture without overwhelming its clean structure.

The black-and-white trim on the collar and sleeve cuffs reinforces the modernist tone, while still maintaining balance with the historical integrity of England’s football tradition. The choice of Umbro's iconic taping on the sleeves is consistent with the era's design language and strengthens brand identity.

Although never worn in either the 1990 FIFA World Cup or the 1992 Euros, its one-off appearance against Argentina in 1991 has made this kit something of a hidden classic. The shirt's overall silhouette and execution highlight Umbro’s ambition during this period to push kit design into more refined and distinctive territory.
