Yeah, that's the impression I got too. It's probably an attempt to make it look less like a replica football shirt so it can be seen as a more casual tee-shirt for everyday wear - more of a smarter polo shirt style.

The lettering could have been a bit better too as you said. Maybe use navy blue instead of red and it would have been bolder and retained the "white and blue" that are the usual staple colours of the England home strip. I think the shirt would look much better if it was paired with traditional navy shorts - the white ones just don't work as well IMO.
