As the England football team prepare for the Nations League clash ahead of the 2020-21 season, their new home and away kit was launched by American sports brand Nike. Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, Tottenham striker Harry Kane and Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho are seen donning the England home and away kits.

England home kit unveiled 

The new England home kit predominantly continues with the white shirt with specimens of royal blue, navy and red draped on the kit. The three-lion and Nike logos are coloured royal blue, while navy blue is used alongside red for trim. The sleeve of the England home kit is simply designed instead of the raglan cut that has been put to use by Nike since 2016. A zig-zag stripe runs down the sleeves. Meanwhile, the three-lion and Nike logos have been imprinted on the centre of the shirt.

England away kit follows traditional pattern 

Meanwhile, the England football team's kit collection also includes a jacket that is predominantly blue in colour. The jacket reminisces the 1990s fashion with striped sleeves accompanied by the Nike logo. The sleaves also don three different stripes of red, blue and white colours in sync. 

Besides, the England away kit follows orange shades, similar to that of the Netherlands' shirts. The logos are imprinted in the traditional way, unlike the England home kit, that has the imprints in the centre. The entire England away kit is curated with a different set of patterns, which gives it a glossy look.

Besides Rashford, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks has also withheld his participation in the England football team, who has been forced to return to the club. Meanwhile, Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish has received his first England football team call up by manager Gareth Southgate.
