TheFA.com - Colours of England >> "It's never been that simple to say that England play in white at home and red away.
And there's no better example of that than their most famous victory, the 1966 World Cup final. When Bobby Moore was held aloft clutching the trophy at Wembley, he was wearing a red shirt and, in 2002, England triumphed over Argentina in the same colour.
But for most people, England means white. This is the colour England wore in Italia 90 for their greatest World Cup performance since 1966. In 1970, against Romania and Brazil, they wore white in the style of all-conquering Real Madrid."
