England 2009 Home Jersey — Three Lions x Umbro Tailoring

A masterclass in minimalist design and federation pride, this England home shirt from the late 2000s blends tradition with tailored precision—ideal for Ristha’s curatorial grids and historical timelines.

⚪ Crisp White Canvas The clean white base offers timeless simplicity, allowing the crest and collar details to take center stage. It’s a blank slate charged with national emotion.

🦁 Three Lions Crest with Red Roses Embroidered on the left chest, the iconic England badge features three lions and ten red Tudor roses—symbolizing courage, unity, and royal heritage.

🔷 Umbro Logo Placement The blue Umbro logo sits opposite the crest, maintaining visual balance and brand clarity. It’s a nod to the brand’s long-standing partnership with the FA.

🧵 Striped Inner Collar & Sleeve Trim The dark collar features a subtle striped pattern underneath, while the sleeve cuffs carry a geometric motif—adding tailored elegance and subtle complexity.

🪵 Display Context Hung on a wooden hanger against a white wall, the jersey’s symmetry and clean lines make it ideal for visual timelines or thematic grids—especially when paired with more expressive kits like Mexico’s 2014 zigzag or Nigeria’s feathered geometry.
