Despite the update, the addition of colour hasn’t been well-received by many fans on social media.
One fan wrote: “What a hideous shirt, something like the 1980’s train seats. That’s more money saved for me this year, should always be all white”
Another commented: “Umbro doing there usual tricks. The England shirt is white, white only. Sweeny and the RFU are sucking the sole out of the game.”
A third commented: “Another England shirt I won’t be buying. Looks awful. Only colour should be the rose.”
