England’s Umbro Lions: the boots on their feet
With Wales and England both Tailored by Umbro, today’s big game at the Millennium Stadium will already have plenty of double diamonds on display. However, with 9 members of Fabio Capello’s England squad wearing Umbro boots, there’ll also be a big influence from us on their feet! But what boots exactly will each player be wearing? Here’s the lowdown on what all of Umbro’s England players will be going with for today’s vital Euro2012 qualifier…
Strikers
Up front, we’ve got Andy Carroll and Darren Bent representing Umbro and England. Carroll will be sporting the classic Speciali Pro in black, white and silver, while Aston Villa’s new striker Bent will be sporting the new Speciali R in white and red.
Defenders
With six defenders in Fabio Capello’s squad, including captain John Terry, it’s fair to say that our boots will be seeing plenty of action this afternoon! JT will be wearing the same Speciali Pros as Andy Carroll, but in white and gold, while Michael Dawson will be wearing the same Speciali R as Darren Bent. Elsewhere, the rest of our representatives in England’s defence – Phil Jagielka, Kyle Walker, Gary Cahill and Leighton Baines – have taken a fancy to our new STII boots, which offer a nice balance of comfort, protection and speed.
Between the sticks
Number one for Man City, Umbro and England, Joe Hart will be stepping out in the Speciali Rs as well tomorrow as well. A fresh take on the classic Speciali, the Speciali R updates the timeless boot with some modern, revolutionary updates – take a look at Umbro.com for more details.
Keep your eyes peeled for all these Umbro boots on the pitch today – and lets hope for a great game from both sides!
