England's World Cup kits are out in the open.
After weeks of leaked images claiming to show what Gareth Southgate's men will be wearing in Russia this summer, on Wednesday, we were finally able to set our eyes on the real things thanks to a series of tweets from the England social media accounts.

Generally speaking, it seems the reaction has been a positive one, with England supporters in agreement that they are a definite improvement on the kits they are replacing... even if
they aren't a patch on what Nigeria's players will be wearing.
While Nike's decision to return the home shirt to a more traditional looking design has been well received, there was some disappointment amongst Three Lions supporters that the new pre-match shirt - also unveiled on Wednesday - hadn't been used as the a
match shirt instead.
Inspired by the popular home shirt England players wore in the 1982 World Cup, many questioned why the design hadn't been used as the new home shirt.

The new England kits are to go on sale next month, around the time of the next international break where the team will be wearing them for the first time.
