England book Kasabian to reveal new away shirt in Paris

Umbro has launched the England football team's new away shirt in an unusual fashion – by having it worn by Tom Meighan, the lead singer of the band Kasabian, at a concert in Paris. Speaking after a concert on Monday night, Meighan was quoted by the Leicester Mercury as saying: "It's brilliant to be the first band ever to launch an England shirt and where better to launch this particular kit than away from home? "When Umbro approached us to represent England away we jumped at the chance as we are all football fans and loved the idea of revealing the England away shirt when playing in the country of one of our great footballing rivals."
