ENGLAND’S kit for the 2026 World Cup has been leaked.
FA chiefs have opted for a clean and safe design after the controversy surrounding the Euro 2024 shirt.
The Three Lions have continued the classic look with the white home shirt boasting modern touches.
There is an intricate jacquard pattern on the chest and torso displaying a lion and stars.
Red inserts complement a navy trim around the neck and sleeves, similar to the Euro 2020 kit.
The inside of the collar also bears the words ‘Happy and Glorious’ from the national anthem.
The safe look should help The FA avoid the controversy that surrounded the previous kit, which was used for Euro 2024.
Some fans branded the previous shirt “woke” after the colours of the St George’s flag were changed.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer even slammed the FA and Nike for changing the “unifying” St George’s flag, but manufacturers refused to revert back to the traditional colours.
The controversy led away shirt sales to better the home top for the first time ever.
England have returned to the traditional red for their away kit for the next World Cup, despite the navy-purple look selling well.
However the design is still yet to be released, or leaked, though it could follow a similar safe style to the home jersey.
