England Changes Number Positioning on Kit - Kitmen Explains Why
- Number Placement Change: England's kit featured a new number placement on the front of the shirt, moved to the right chest below the Swoosh logo.
- Reason for Change: The kitman accidentally printed the first shirt with the wrong placement and decided to continue the error for consistency.
- Future Change: England will revert to the center front number position for the next match.
Update: The England kitmen, Pat Fros, explained why the front numbers were placed differently in England's last match. The reason is pretty simple - he printed the 1st shirt with the front numbers in the wrong place (under the Swoosh), and then decided to print all the other shirts the same. England will be back to the center front number position for the next match.
In yesterday's match against Albania, England debuted a new look to their kit, with a change in the placement of the number on the front of the shirt.
New Number Position on England Kit
The number on the front of the England kit has been repositioned from the center of the shirt to the right chest, below the Swoosh logo.
The position of the new England shirt number is the same as on the 2022 shirt.
