Thankfully, this is fake.

The filthy, horrible national Man Utd fanzine (ie. The Sun 'newspaper') ran a story a couple of weeks back suggesting that this is the next England home shirt. Other than the 3 Lions crest, there is no blue on the shirt at all, there are hints of grey on it, and the 1966 gold star has been moved to the shoulder.
In all, it's not a good shirt.

Thankfully, Umbro have now come out and said that this is not genuine, and that the first look at the new shirt will be against Slovakia at Wembley at the end of March. The details on the pictures looks pretty professional to me. I think Umbro leaked the pics to guage the reaction.
