Captain Harry Kane and playmaker Jack Grealish have been among the players to model the new England kits which will be worn by Gareth Southgate’s players at Uefa Euro 2024.
The Three Lions will wear a purple away shirt and a traditional white home number with a red and blue sleeve and dark collar which is reminiscent of the design worn by the team at the Fifa 1986 World Cup.
Nike say the trim on the cuffs is inspired by “training gear worn by England legends of the past”, and a side panel on the away shirt contains seven different colours in a “nod to English fashion”.

Members of the England women’s, blind, partially-sighted, cerebral palsy, powerchair and deaf teams also took part in the launch.
