The new England home kit which will be worn at the upcoming European Championships was revealed by one cap midfielder Joey Barton.
The kit which will be worn for the first time at Wembley on Wednesday in the friendly with Holland was shown off by the QPR captain via his Twitter page on Wednesday night.
Kit manufacturers Umbro have broken with tradition and for the first time the England shirt has been made purely from red and white.
The traditional blue which has been found in the famous Three Lions crest has been ditched and replaced with an all red badge.
The inspiration comes from the St. George’s flag which according to Umbro is a ‘symbolic notion of Englishness’.
Barton, who has made a 12 minute cameo for England against Spain in 2007, used the social networking site to tell England caretaker manager Stuart Pearce he would be happy to wear the new shirt, saying: ‘Yes ok Stuart I will reconsider my international retirement only because you asked nicely #newengkit’
The kit will go on sale on February 29
