Colours

{{Commons|England national football team kits}}File:Eng1966 football shirt.jpeg|thumb|upright|England shirt for the 1966 World Cup final ]]England’s traditional home colours are white shirts, navy blue shorts and white or black socks. The team has periodically worn an all-white kit.Although England’s first away kits were blue, England’s traditional away colours are red shirts, white shorts and red socks. In 1996, England’s away kit was changed to grey shirts, shorts and socks. This kit was only worn three times, including against Germany in the semi-final of Euro 1996 but the deviation from the traditional red was unpopular with supporters and the England away kit remained red until 2011, when a navy blue away kit was introduced. The away kit is also sometimes worn during home matches, when a new edition has been released to promote it.England have occasionally had a third kit. At the 1970 World Cup England wore a third kit with pale blue shirts, shorts and socks against Czechoslovakia. They had a kit similar to Brazil’s, with yellow shirts, yellow socks and blue shorts which they wore in the summer of 1973. For the World Cup in 1986 England had a third kit of pale blue, imitating that worn in Mexico 16 years before and England retained pale blue third kits until 1992, but they were rarely used.Umbro first agreed to manufacture the kit in 1954 and since then has supplied most of the kits, the exceptions being from 1959 to 1965 with Bukta and 1974–1984 with Admiral. Nike purchased Umbro in 2008 and took over as kit supplier in 2013 following their sale of the Umbro brand.WEB, England’s Uniforms and Playing Kits,www.englandfootballonline.com/teamunif/Unif.html, EnglandFootballOnline.com, 30 October 2014,www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamUnif/Unif.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20080115085155www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamUnif/Unif.html,">web.archive.org/web/20080115085155www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamUnif/Unif.html, 15 January 2008, live,

Media coverage

All England matches are broadcast with full commentary on talkSPORT and BBC Radio 5 Live. From the 2008–09 season until the 2017–18 season, England’s home and away qualifiers, and friendlies both home and away were broadcast live on ITV Sport (often with the exception of STV, the ITV franchisee in central and northern Scotland). England’s away qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup were shown on Setanta Sports until that company’s collapse. As a result of Setanta Sports’s demise, England’s World Cup qualifier in Ukraine on 10 October 2009 was shown in the United Kingdom on a pay-per-view basis via the internet only.
