Iconic Design & Historical Significance

The 2002 England Home Jersey represents one of the most memorable periods in English football history. This iconic white jersey with red accents was worn during the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan, where England reached the quarter-finals under Sven-Göran Eriksson’s management. The clean, classic design features the traditional Three Lions crest embroidered on the chest, symbolizing England’s rich football heritage.

This jersey gained legendary status particularly through David Beckham’s redemption story. After his infamous red card against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, Beckham captained England in 2002 and scored the decisive penalty against Argentina in the group stage, cementing this kit in football folklore.

• Classic crew neck collar design with red piping, offering both comfort and style
• Iconic embroidered Three Lions crest on the left chest, featuring the traditional three lions passant guardant
• Authentic Umbro diamond logo embroidered on the right chest
• Clean, minimalist design that has stood the test of time
• BECKHAM #7 name and number set in the official font used during the 2002 World Cup

The Beckham Legacy

David Beckham’s #7 jersey from the 2002 World Cup represents more than just a football shirt – it symbolizes one of the most dramatic redemption stories in sports. After his devastating red card against Argentina in 1998 that many blamed for England’s exit, Beckham returned as captain in 2002 and faced Argentina again in the group stage.

The iconic moment came when Beckham stepped up to take a penalty against Argentina, calmly slotting it home and securing a 1-0 victory. That goal, celebrated in this very jersey, completed Beckham’s redemption arc and cemented both his legacy and this kit in football history.

Why Beckham’s #7 Matters
