News England will wear an all-white kit at this summer's World Cup has been spun, by some sections, as a slap in the face for purists. In fact, the national team have worn the ensemble at finals as far back as 1962.

The Three Lions first sported an all-white World Cup strip for their 3-1 defeat of Argentina at Rancagua's Estadio El Teniente in 1962, and have donned the ensemble seven times since at the finals. Each garb was designed by Umbro.

If you're looking for a good omen, the results are mixed: three wins, two draws and three defeats
