Women’s England team to use own kit for first time

Wednesday, 13 March 2019 07:00

The England women’s football team is to wear specifically designed kit.

It will be the first time the Lionesses kits differ from the men’s and will be worn at this summer’s World Cup in France.

The SheBelieves Cup winners will debut the home kit against Canada at Manchester City's Academy Stadium on Friday, 5 April.

The home shirt is the traditional white with red cuffs, while the socks include hand-drawn prints representing the floral symbol of English counties.

The floral pattern dominates the whole away kit, which is dark red and incorporates the cross of St George into the shirt.

Each one is made from 12 recycled plastic bottles, which has been the case with Nike football kits since 2010.
