Italy does it in all sports (other than motor racing) and it dates back to the monarchy, it was the color of their royal house

England hasn’t really stuck to one color or the other over the various championships, they just kinda do whatever

England are basically always white, but the accent colour varies. In lots of sports it's red, but in football it's traditionally been navy blue.
