England take on Wales in Traditional Jersey
England and their shirt sponsor Nike are rolling back the years, with the squad taking on Wales in Twickenham's Centenary Match on Saturday February 6 sporting a limited edition, traditional look jersey to commemorate a century since the two nations' first encounter at HQ.
In the original match on January 15, 1910 England emerged the victors 11-6 and the pearl white shirt was inspired by the one worn by that winning team. The 2010 team will run out in the iconic jersey featuring authentic detailing and a stunning embroidered rose emulating that on the 1910 kit. Nike technology remains at the heart of the jersey with dri fit a feature and gripper patter on the chest to improve performance.
A replica shirt is available from today (January 5) together with a polo shirt, T shirt and limited edition centenary jacket. These are available at the Rugby Store at Twickenham Stadium and York Street, Twickenham and also online at
rfu.direct.com.
Said Andy Ward, RFU Head of Retail, "This shirt celebrates 100 years of Twickenham Stadium and takes its inspiration from the shirt worn a century ago, whilst ensuring the players still have the performance they expect from a Nike shirt. The replica shirts are limited in supply and we expect there will be a big demand for them from England fans."

Absolutely fantastic! I was pleased this season when we went back to the more traditional all white kit, getting rid of that awful red swoosh on our previous shirt! And now to have the traditional kit for the centenary is even better!!!

Whingebasher always resorts to reality. What's wrong with you man? 
England must acknowledge that there is no way to make their jersey "butch". The best you can hope for is "no nonsense" and reverting to the traditional is probably the best way to do that.
