Discovered deep in Umbro’s archive like some long discarded gym kit, two key items of 1948 British athletic wear have been reinvented with a little help from knitwear specialists John Smedley. The dark navy field sweater and the suitably patriotic tangeru shirt benefit from the brand’s combined 318 years of heritage and have some particularly nice touches – the “102” on the sweater refers to the number of goals scored at Wembley during the summer of 1948.
