Seven Nation Army

Whether you’re in it for pure sport or sheer pleasure (read: fit foreign boys), football fever is everywhere.

We’re showing our true colors in a limited-edition shirt from Umbro’s World Champions Collection (from $40). Artists from past winning nations have created seven funky designs that scream Ole, Ole, Ole. Ninteen-fifty champion Uruguay features a hand-drawn dripping effect, while Italy’s image by Tanino Liberatore looks like a '70s rock god.  And Bob Eine’s red lion, crown and castle crest on England’s jersey?

To that we say, Goaaall!
