The slightly dull national team shirt just got interesting

For too long, the attractive ladies of our fair nation have been crying out for a means of displaying their patriotism and most of their skin simultaneously. Finally, their needs have been met with the England bikini kit.

It looks like something Sepp Blatter dreamed as part of his crusade to ’sex up’ the ladies’ game, but the skimpy uniform has come to pass thanks to the chaps at Loaded magazine, who have commissioned a number of England kit designs to be auctioned on behalf of the PSP Association (a charidee dedicated to the support of people with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy).

The Spoiler’s second favourite design from the range is the world’s first England kit for dogs. That’s right, dogs…

Will JT and Lampsie wear this thing in South Africa?

Official England kit manufacturer UMBRO were keen to reveal the new 2009-11 home strip at the Slovakia friendly on March 28. According to our hombres at Off the Post, however, these pictures show the strip that will soon be piled high in Soccer World shops all over the country.

As you can see, they’ve forsaken the traditional blue trim and opted for an aesthetic feel that may be described as “rubbish” or “crap”.

Hopefully, this is just a training top, and not the kit that our boys will be wearing while they fail to meet our ludicrously high expectations next summer.

Spoiler bonus quiz question: Usually, the home strip of a national side is a colour featured on their national flag. Can you name four international sides whose shirt colour does not feature on their flag? Answers after the jump…
