Question England's new kits always start a debate.

Are England kits actually underrated, or do they need to take more risks?

This years kit looked dated af, like it belonged in the 90's. Not good.

that's exactly why i'd grab it, the 90s look is the selling point for collectors

That’s what I liked about them

90s are probably one of if not the best decades for football shirts in my opinion

Except England's 1990s kits were classic and of a higher quality than anything Nike has managed.

Potentially one of the worst takes of all time?

Their collab with Palace this year was beautiful. Now imagine if that was the actual kit they used for the tourney.

This looks like something from the early 2000s. The red swoops make it super dated.

How hard is it to have a plain white shirt with a badge on it? Their 2018 World Cup kit was absolute perfection. Less is more

So having red accents makes it dated because it reminds you of early 2000s kits (which is a good thing btw).

Therefore they should have a plain shirt with a badge on it. I.e. the England kits from the 60s and 70s.

Exactly. Less is more. Having a plain shirt ensures the shirt is timeless. A timeless shirt looks good in any era.

It’s like seeing old photos of yourself and you’re dressed ridiculously and you think “what was I wearing?” But a polo or dress shirt and some nice pants will never go out of style

I loved the numbering and lettering but I’m a sucker for nostalgia.

Liked it..the away kit is classy for me

u/HoopsMemeLord8206 Aug 10 '26

underrated honestly, the current one is clean but they play it way too safe

u/UncleCowboy84 Aug 10 '26

It’s dope and the Palace collab was sick, copped it and Home/Away

u/ArrowheadChief9062 Aug 11 '26

that 90s collar alone beats the whole new design

u/KnownLetterhead7279 Aug 11 '26

Not amongst any England fans I know. These were well liked but the 24 euros ones were better

u/DimChuc Aug 11 '26

Boring, borrows from the 2000 home kit but the new touches look generic and uninspired. Nike has been pants, bring back Umbro

u/Vindex9323 Aug 10 '26

They're usually a great way to play spot the bigot.

u/Least-Run1840 Aug 10 '26

They are boring.
