What does England's new strip look like?
The brand new Nike England home and away kits were unveiled on Sunday 17th March.
Nike describe the England 2024 home kit as a 'modern take on a classic white strip. The trim on the cuffs takes its cues from the training gear worn by England legends of the past, in a bold purple colour that remixes reds and blues of the past. The same colours also feature in a playful interpretation of the flag of St George on the back of the collar'.
The England 2024 away kit 'reimagines iconic kits from the past with a modern twist, making a bold statement with an eye-catching purple - a modern mix of classic blue and red England change kits of the past. The graphic side panels feature seven different colours with a nod to English fashion, while also giving the flag of St. George on the collar a standout style'.
The men's kits are available to buy now.
Who is favourite to win the Euros?

With players such as Harry Kane, Phill Foden and Jude Bellingham all in the form of their lives, it's no surprise expectation is high on England.
