REVERSIBLE ENGLAND COACH JACKET
UMBRO By Kim Jones
May 2006
Unlike the 1966 Ramsey jacket, which had ENGLAND appliqued in large white letters, this version by Kim Jones uses a more subtle tonal print for the word ENGLAND. It could be interpreted as a more refined approach to sportswear design or signalling a less assured sense of national identity.
