Umbro World Champions Collection Football Shirts
Usually around World Cup time, there is plenty of soccer bandwagon jumping, in the hope to share some of the feel-good factor around the tournament. Usually we would cast dispersions - but these timely releases from Umbro include several reasons we're prepared to change our minds...
You may have seen some of these lovely shirts (and the ladies) already - but not in this style. Designed in collaboration with some of the hottest international artists, each hailing from one of the seven nations that have ever won the tournament. The twist in the brief to them was to base their design on the tailored silhouette of the Umbro England home shirt.
The artists they collaborated with represent a diverse set of creative backgrounds - they range from established to up-and-comers, from illustrators to designers, fine artists to tattoo artists. Their crests each tell unique, deep stories of football culture in their countries, and incorporate the hallowed stars to signify their historic victories.
But what this feature really needs is less words and more pictures! So without further delay check out the World Cup Champions football shirts...

France - Charlene Suric, wife of Gael Clichy displays the French design.
