What is England Women's World Cup kit and is it different to the men's?

talksport.com, 13 July 2023, 09:47
England get their Women's World Cup campaign underway this month armed with their new-look 2023 home and away kits.

The Lionesses previously wore the same strip as Gareth Southgate's men's side but they have now been kitted out themselves by Nike.

The England home kit is very similar to the one worn by Harry Kane and co with the classic white jersey synonymous with the country.

The blue patterns around the collar are much more subtle having paid homage to the 1984 England women's team - the country's first women's team assembled for a major tournament.

Jordan Nobbs said: "Whenever you get new kit it is nice but with this kit, with the white and the blue, it is really nice.

"It is often said that if you look good, then you feel good and if you feel good, then you play better."

The striking difference from the home kit that differs from the one that was on show during the Euro triumph is the blue shorts.

England players lobbied to switch the colour of the Lionesses' shorts from white to blue to assuage player's period anxiety.

Barcelona star Kiera Walsh explained: "For us as women, it is really important we feel comfortable while playing. You don't want to have to be concerned about your shorts while you are playing or at half-time. As professional sportswomen we want to just focus on the match and the tactics.

"It is one less thing to worry about and we can just focus on the game and not how we look.

"For us it was a massive step in the right direction and hopefully other women's teams can follow and make sure the players feel as comfortable as we will be."

The Lionesses' away kit also moves away from the men's classic red to a striking geometric blue jersey.

It draws inspiration from the national stadium, with 'the slight gradient of colour a nod to the chalky facade of the original Wembley'.

Both kits, which were released in April, have had their competitive debuts in the three games leading up to the World Cup.

The home strip was on show for the Women's Finalissima victory over Brazil and the goalless draw with Portugal in the World Cup send-off.

But the away kit's only outing served as their first defeat under Sarina Wiegman as Australia beat them 2-0.
