The England national team have done well over the past few months, managing to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2014.
The national coach Roy Hodgson has given us a few shocks with some surprise call ups including Andros Townsend, the winger from Tottenham Hotspur made his debut against Montenegro last month and scored a blinder and set up another goal.
His existence seemed to bring a spark to all of the players in the England soccer jerseys.
The squad do seem to be growing stronger together after major doubts from most soccer fans in the UK; they looked very strong and showed some great skill in the last few qualifying matches.
Over the past few years childrens football kits have become more and more popular, particularly when it comes to Premier League and International shirts anyway such as Arsenal and Barcelona.
But surprisingly there has actually been a huge increase in the sales of kid's soccer kits and England Nike soccer jerseys this year.
England shirts have never been hugely sought after and you could say some sports stores have not really had the issue of 'running out of stock'. This could be down to the progress and performance of the England team or the style and quality of the jersey its self, it's a hard one.
Since the 1950's Umbro, the once popular British sports brand took on a new deal to manufacture the national England kit; they designed this right up until 1974 when new owners decided to sell the manufacturing rights to Admiral.
Admiral went on to design the England soccer jerseys up until Umbro took over again in 1984. They had a successful spell but did start to struggle with sales through the year 2000 onwards.
In 2007 big American sports brand Nike bought Umbro in a deal said to be worth around £285 million pounds. The objective of Umbro was to try and revitalise their brand and make it a bit more popular with soccer supporters.
In 2008 Umbro unveiled their England soccer jerseys which featured the 'tailored by England' touch. This provided the players with a great fit around the body, helping them to concentrate and give 100% during the game.
These were quite popular at first, but again died out as soon as the national side's form dropped.
The Umbro England shirts featured anti-microbial and sweat wicking fabric.
In 2012 Nike decided to sell Umbro, the announcement came when the brand realised that they needed to focus more on their other purchased sports brand Nike, converse, Hurley and Jordan.
This came as a big blow to Umbro and to top it off Nike proclaimed that they would be taking over as the England kit manufacturers from then on.
Nike unveiled their first England kit in May, before the new soccer season started. There was a mixed feedback from fans, some thought it was a 'simple and dull' design by Nike and some liked the simplicity and thought it looked 'clean and classic'.
Many childrens football kits were sold but it took a few weeks to get the adults on side with the new styles.
The new Nike kits feature a white top with the England badge and a navy Nike logo. They have navy shorts, again sporting the National crest and Nike logo and also feature white socks.
The good thing about the new Nike kits is that they are made from recycled polyester, sounds weird doesn't it?
The recycled polyester made shirts are part of Nike's new way of making the World more environmentally friendly.
They actually used 8 plastic bottles to create each shirt; this included the England soccer jerseys. They collected these from Japanese and Taiwanese landfill sites.
This process is known to save raw materials and also reduces energy consumption by up to 30 per cent compared to manufacturing polyester.
Even though Nike has kindly considered the environment, it doesn't mean sacrificing the innovative performance elements and great design of the Nike kit.
During the manufacturing process the new Nike kits were designed to keep players, cooler, drier and much more comfortable than ever. They did this by incorporating their amazing Dri Fit technology which wicks away any unwanted sweat from the body, Nike have done a good job so far, we will have to wait and see if it pays off in next year's World Cup 2014.
