Set to be unveiled in the coming days, Nike’s new England away kit has leaked ahead of schedule, giving us our first good look at the third England away kit Nike has created since taking over as the Three Lions’ kit supplier in 2013.
A pretty remarkable departure from the solid-red uniform currently worn by the national team during away tilts, the new shirt instead goes entirely blue. A predominance of navy is offset by light blue horizontal stripes that run the length of the body, ending in a gradient fade on either end for a cool, distinct look that seems to accentuate player movement and speed.
England’s famous crest is of course embroidered on the left-chest, and the sporty, shallow V-neck finishes with a light blue insert, tying in with the stripes for a more unified, consistent look.
Take a full look at the new England away kit below — well, the new jersey, anyway — and stay tuned for its official unveiling, likely quite soon.
