God it feels like an age since I've written on here and I'm sorry for the absence I've been busy travelling and I'm back now so I'm just catching up.
Anyhew...You may or may not have heard that for Euro 2016 England football team will have their team suits designed by Marks and Spencer's according to an article on The Mirror's website, also according to this same article the FA's Commercial Director, Stuart Turner has said:
"Once again, the in-house design team at M&S has shown excellent attention and the England squad will be heading to France in a suit of the highest quality..."
He went on to say that:
"We are delighted to continue our partnership with M&S into a ninth successive year ahead of another major tournament...
"...The FA's relationship with M&S continues to go from strength- to- strength and we are really pleased with the England team's official suits for Euro 2016..."
Also whilst I was perusing the internet to try and find any information about these wool navy suits I saw on Marks and Spencer's own website that not only will these be navy but these suits will be wool with a tailored fitted jacket which according to Marks and Spencer's website:
"...really defines the shoulder, chest and waist..."
this suit also comes with tailored fit trousers and has been made using Alfred Brown cloth with details such as a navy jacquard football pitch lining, a star on the inside pocket for winning the World Cup in 1966 as well as the internals featuring red, white and blue trims so says Marks and Spencer's own website.
Their website also mentions how this suit is available in a tailored fit in store with slim fit, big and tall fit.
This suit also comes with a pure wool 5 button waistcoat, a cotton tailored fit Supima shirt, a pure silk striped tie and leather lace up Derby shoes.

England Euro 2016 NEW! Home and Away kit revealed!
I was perusing the Facebook this morning and I saw a headline revealing the New 2016 England home and away team kit that will be showcased at this years Euro 2016 tournament that starts this June 10th with the final taking place a month later in Paris.
If you want to have a gander this is what the Home Strip will look like according to GIVEMESPORT.com:
Also according to GIVEMESPORT.com this is what the Away Strip will now look like:
But this new kit hasn't as you can imagine with most changing of things in football with open arms and reading why this new kit has been controversial I can understand why...if your thinking about buying this new kit it will according to an article on The Daily Mail's website that a full adult replica kit will cost £101, but also according to this same Daily Mail article if you wanted to buy a full replica kid's kit it would cost £84, and if you were thinking of buying just an adult shirt this would cost you £60 and a kid's replica shirt would cost £48.
And if you were thinking of buying the shorts,-which I can't see why you'd just buy these on their own or unless you wanted to buy these along with the shirt or as part of the full kit,- for the adult shorts it will cost you £28.00 or if your going to buy the kid's sized shorts these will cost £23.00.
But it looks like though the cheapest part of this new kit both in adult sizes and in kid's sizes is the socks, these will only cost £13.00.
But I'm guessing as with everything these days these prices may seem a bit high as your not only paying for the name Nike which has designed, created and made these shirts but also your going to be paying for the technology inside these new kits as well as how these kits look.
As According to The Daily Mail these NEW kits "...mark a revolution in football apparel...".
The Daily Mail's article goes onto say that:
" England's Vapor kits are 10 per cent lighter, boast 50 per cent more stretch, wick sweat 20 per cent quicker and dry 25 per cent faster than Nike's most recent football kits."
The creative director of Nike, Martin Lotti has said about this NEW kit that:
" For both kits we set out with the goal of bringing together the colours that are synonymous with English football: white, red and blue – flashes of contrast are used to illustrate innovative details such as the cross-dyed knitted sleeves and the ventilation-enhancing stripe on the sides of the shirts and shorts."

He goes on to say that:
"England have had great moments in red over the years – one in particular – and our design team have risen to the challenge of integrating references to England’s footballing history with a futuristic system of performance apparel in both the home and away kits."
Some of these "futuristic system's" that Nike are planning to introduce with this NEW kit is on the shorts the drawstrings which have been a staple feature on the team shorts for a while now has now been removed and a brand new waistband has been introduced along with ventilation holes being on this strip so the players can be able to cope with playing in the warm climate of the south of France.
Also sewn into the back collar of this NEW kit will be the word "England", and the words "Lion" and "Three" will adorn the inside cuffs of the shirts.
And on the reverse of the crest will reveal a white rose graphic, this is supposed to be a reference to the symbol that was embroided on early England caps in the nineteenth century.
Both the adult and kid's replica kits will come in different fits but the professional team are said to be going to wear specially made athletic-fitted shirts.
These NEW home and away kits will only be available to purchase from March 24th.
Thinking about it now, saying that prices for this new kit are high to me aren't to me very controversial as the £60.00 price tag for buying just a shirt is probably the minimum anybody has to splash out on if they wanted to buy a shirt from the team they support shirt...so to me I don't really get what all the fuss is about as really this price tag is to me cheaper than some of the astronomical prices football teams ask their fans to pay for either just a ticket to see one match home or away or if their fans want to buy a season ticket...these prices seem to me to be more controversial than these prices and some fans this season such as Liverpool fans have even walked out of matches as way of protesting against these ridonculous prices.
