Tailored by Umbro, Tailored by England: Constructing Englishness Through Cut, Fit, and Style
Excited to be presenting our paper on Wednesday at the free one-day symposium, A Century of Umbro and the Aesthetic of Sporting Englishness, hosted by the Institute of Sport at Manchester Metropolitan University.
We'll be focusing on the 2009/10 England home shirt and exploring how Umbro utilised tailoring and fashion techniques to construct, deconstruct, and reconstruct ideas of Englishness through cut, fit, and style.
This symposium, funded by the @pasoldfund and the @BritSportHisSoc brings together leading researchers to examine the development, marketing, and sales of an English sporting aesthetic, particularly in football.

This madras headwrap, now housed in the permanent collection of @LaStateMuseum, was worn by Mary Franklin, an enslaved woman referred to as "Pinkie" by the donor's grandmother Marion Hoey Stem. Following the Civil War, Franklin remained with the donor's grandmother, and the headwrap was preserved, ostensibly as a memento of her imagined loyalty. Crafted from red, yellow, and green woven madras, the headwrap features two selvedge ends and two machine-stitched ends. I will explore the history of this headwrap anf similar objects in my upcoming talk on madras at the @connectthreads symposium at the V&A on October 11: vam.ac.uk/.../connecting-thr…...
