England have confirmed their new home and away kits which will be worn at this summer’s World Cup.
Once again manufactured by Nike as part of their reported £400m deal with the Football Association (FA), the home shirt has dispensed with the multi-coloured interpretation of the St George’s Cross that caused controversy when the previous strips were unveiled two years ago.
Instead, the inside collar of the latest shirts bear the words ‘happy and glorious’ in a nod to the national anthem, God Save the King.
Set to be worn against Uruguay at Wembley next Friday, Nike described the home strip as a “modern all-white design that honours England’s heritage”.
The shirt has a metallic gold star above the crest to represent the country’s 1966 World Cup triumph.
The away strip reverts to a red shirt, having been purple since 2024, has a centred badge and will be paired with navy shorts.
