The new Nike England shirt for Euro 2021 features a central Three Lions badge and blue and red stripes underneath the arms – in a nod to the 1998 World Cup strip

England's new kits for next year's Euro 2021 have a clear retro feel to them – and will appeal to anyone who still holds a grudge over Sol Campbell's disallowed goal against Argentina in Saint-Etienne.
Look a little closer, and an older influence is on show, too: the red and blue rounded collar is similar to the classic 1988 shirt – a kit last worn before any of the current Three Lions squad were born.

The away shirt also has a '90s feel to it. The change strip is all blue, and has a button-up collar, like the steel 'blue' kit from Euro 96 – the last tournament to feature matches in England, as Euro 2021 will.
The button itself promotes a sense of "togetherness" within the team, inscribed with the words "We are Lions, We are England".

There's also a new England training revealed, with a red pre-match shirt the stand out addition.
Looking like modern away shirt, the top is embossed with a Three Lions background and has an excellent lion badge motif on the round collar. We this is going to be very popular.
The long-sleeve training top and tracksuit bottoms, meanwhile, come with red, white and blue stripes down the side and are well worth checking out too.
