England's national football team is getting ready to debut their brand new Nike kit in their upcoming match against Brazil at Wembley Stadium. The anticipation is high, but not everyone is completely on board with the design.
The home and away jerseys feature a unique twist on the classic St. George's cross, which has been met with mixed reactions. Nike describes it as a "playful update" to the iconic symbol, but some fans are not pleased with the change in colors.
In fact, one former player, Joey Barton, has been quite vocal about his disapproval. He took to social media to express his frustration, questioning why the St. George's cross had been "Rainbow-fied." He also pointed out that other national teams like France and the USA did not receive the same treatment in their kits.
But not everyone shares Barton's opinion. Many players, like Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka, who modeled the new kit, seem to be quite happy with it. They praised its classic look and stylish collar, giving it a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.
Despite the mixed reactions, the new kit is already available for purchase to the general public. The authentic version is priced at £124.99, while the stadium version is slightly cheaper at £84.99.
While some may not be thrilled with the design, the players themselves seem to be excited to wear it on the field. Lionesses striker Alessia Russo even called it "retro" and gave it a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.
It's clear that the new England kit has sparked some debate among fans, but ultimately, it's the players who will be proudly representing their country in it. And for them, it's a kit to be excited about.
