It includes a navy blue ribbed polo collar with a single-button placket and distinctive red and navy side panels that extend to the underarms and sleeve cuffs. The shirt prominently displays the central England Three Lions crest with 'UMBRO' embroidered above and 'ENGLAND' below. A key technical feature is the 'Vapa Tech' logo screen-printed at the bottom hem, which refers to Umbro's moisture-wicking fabric technology used during this era. The fabric is a lightweight, breathable polyester common in late-90s sportswear.This kit is most famously associated with England's campaign at the 1998 World Cup in France under manager Glenn Hoddle. It was worn during iconic moments in English football history, including 18-year-old Michael Owen's sensational solo goal against Argentina and David Beckham's controversial red card in the same match. The shirt was also used during the successful 1997 Tournoi de France, where England finished top of a group containing Brazil, Italy, and France. It represents a 'Golden Generation' of talent including players like Alan Shearer, Paul Scholes, and Rio Ferdinand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umbro","offers":[{"title":"XL \/ White \/ Umbro","offer_id":53015031775568,"sku":null,"price":149.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/5859\/0544\/files\/e6d491dd-2f30-474e-9654-d92d9e6fe14b_product_86fc6bf8-0561-43e6-8e99-927883b8806e_1778078781978_d913c672-9233-4c15-be28-ea9117918a81.jpg?v=1779013716","url":"https:\/\/thissavintage.nl\/products\/1997-1999-england-umbro-home-football-shirt-xl-123014","provider":"Thissavintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
