England Away 04/05 — Michael Owen #10

Size : M ( 70/74x54 )

Condition : Excellent Condition

The England away jersey from 2004 to 2005, made by Umbro, is a modern yet patriotic design worn during a crucial period for the national team. The shirt features a classic red base, honoring England’s historic 1966 World Cup-winning kit. A standout feature is the white diagonal shoulder panel on the right side, along with navy blue trim on the sleeves and collar, blending tradition with contemporary flair.

The St. George’s Cross is subtly embedded on the sleeve cuffs and inside the collar, emphasizing national pride. The Umbro logo and Three Lions crest sit neatly on the chest, and the number 10, worn by Michael Owen, is printed in white with navy outline — a number long associated with his reputation as England’s premier striker during the early 2000s.

This jersey was worn throughout England’s 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, as well as in select friendlies and competitive fixtures between Euro 2004 and 2005.
