Joy Division, New Order Artwork Designer Creates New England Shirt

Pete Saville, who designed artwork for the likes of Joy Division and New Order, has designed the new shirt for the England football team.

The grandad-style shirt design will be worn by the team for the first time during their European Championship qualifier against Bulgaria at Wembley on Friday (September 3).

Saville said his design reflected how “both the nation and the fans themselves are more diverse than ever before”.

He added: "Football is a language that everyone can relate to and the new England home kit provided the perfect canvas to reflect what England looks like today.

"The reality of modern England is expressed in this pattern as it reclaims the St George's cross to positively represent our contemporary society."

Saville designed many of the sleeves for Factory Records' releases in the 1980s.
