England 1998 Away Kit M (8/10)

The Lens Free-Kick

This kit captures the essence of a defining summer for English football, marking the emergence of the "Golden Generation" on the global stage. In 1998, a young squad full of swagger and promise traveled to France, and this Umbro away shirt became an instant classic during their unforgettable run.

Worn during the crucial group stage match against Colombia in Lens, this is the exact design David Beckham wore when he curled in his spectacular trademark free-kick to send the Three Lions to the knockout rounds.
