The Women's World Cup is less than 50 days away and the new England kit has officially been released after months of anticipation.
The launch for the kit was back in March, and both home and away kits have been debuted by the Lionesses prior to the World Cup in Australia next month.
Their home shirt made an appearance in the first ever Women's Finalissima on April 6 at Wembley, while the away kit was debuted just five days later in the Alzheimer's match between England and Australia raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer's at Brentford's G-Tech Stadium.
Euro 2022 marked the first tournament where England had worn a kit solely designed for them, rather than wearing the same design at the men's team. Sarina Wiegman and her team won a major tournament for the first team when beating Germany 2-1 at Wembley, and once again they will make history as Lionesses.
About the new kit
A part of his year's kit has a huge significance for the Lionesses, as it will not have white shorts after players had given feedback to Nike questioning the white shorts.
Last year was the last time the women's team would wear white shorts after battling to wear a darker colour when they are playing on their periods and it comes after a number of domestic clubs since the Euros have also changed their shorts after players expressed their concerns.
The FA says the new home kit will pay homage to England's 1984 Lionesses, the first team to compete at a major tournament. That team also wore navy shorts.
But it isn't the first time the Lionesses have worn non-white shorts at a major tournament, also doing so at Euro 2013, where they were eliminated in the group stage.
Where can I buy the new kits?
The kits, made and available now through Nike and the official England store, have been released just days after Sarina Wiegman named her 23-woman squad for the World Cup in just over six week's time.
The shirts will also be available through Foudy's on June 8 - the first official retail space in the world dedicated to women’s football.
The new kit, still manufactured by Nike, includes blue shorts and will be worn at the Women's World Cup finals in Australia and New Zealand.
England face Haiti, Denmark and China in Group D at the World Cup finals this summer.
