Umbro - England 2002 Away Football Shirt 'BECKHAM'

This is the England 2002 reversible away shirt made by Umbro, shown here with Beckham 7 on the back. It features a red side with navy trim, the England crest on the chest, and the Umbro logo opposite. The number 7 on the front and back is correct for David Beckham, who captained England during the 2002 World Cup era.

What makes this shirt stand out is that it is fully reversible. Umbro designed it so England had a dual-sided away shirt, with one side in red and the reverse in blue. That makes it one of the more unusual England shirts of the modern era, and it is a key reason why the 2002 away kit is so memorable among collectors. The reversible construction also explains the slightly different feel and structure compared with standard single-layer shirts from the same period.

On the red side, the design is relatively clean, with navy piping along the seams and side panels, plus striped detailing on the collar and sleeve cuffs in navy, white, and red. The overall look is simple and streamlined, but the reversible build gives it added technical interest compared with more conventional early-2000s templates.

As a Beckham 7 version, it is especially relevant to the period. Beckham was England’s most high-profile player at the time, and this shirt is closely tied to the 2002 World Cup cycle and Sven-Göran Eriksson’s England side. The fact that it is reversible adds another layer of collector appeal and makes it stand out from most other England shirts of the era.

Shirt condition: 8/10
