Lionesses set to wear specially designed kit for this summer’s World Cup

For the first time in their history, England Women will wear their own original kits at the World Cup in France this summer.

The Lionesses usually wear the same kit as their male counterparts but this time Nike have created white home and red away kits specifically for the women.

Chelsea forward Fran Kirby, who models the away kit, said: “It is great to see kits designed specifically with us in mind. The home kit seems really classic while the pattern of the away is exciting and new.”

No doubt still on a high from winning the SheBelieves Cup earlier this month, Phil Neville’s side will take on group opponents Japan, Scotland and Argentina in style thanks to their new kits.

The new kits will be released on Thursday 16 May.
