Back in Black

(very poor artist's impression)

So, having beaten Australia in November by wearing dark grey (sorry, anthracite), it looks like England will be going one step further in the autumn by wearing an all black kit in their opening match of the World Cup against Argentina.

Apparently both the shirt and the shorts of the new ‘away’ kit are to be jet black.

I have previously made known my views on the constantly changing England kit. Nothing suprises me anymore.

The only positive I see with the new black kit is that it’s likely to wind up a few Kiwis which, in my experience, is never a bad idea.
