When you are forking out well over £100 for a football shirt‚ you expect to be getting a premium quality kit‚ not something that makes you look like a 1980s fashion guru. But if your country is donning a Nike kit in the World Cup this summer‚ and you want to splash the cash on their new jerseys‚ beware of a defect that has you resembling an astronaut aboard Artemis II rather than your favourite football stars. In March‚ the global sportswear brand released its new haul of kits for this summer's tournament in the USA‚ Canada‚ and Mexico‚ with national teams such as England‚ France‚ and two of the hosts sporting what seemed like a stunning collection of shirts.
Jude Bellingham was one of the five players chosen to unveil England's kit for the upcoming World Cup in North America‚ alongside captain Harry Kane‚ Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson‚ Barcelona loanee Marcus Rashford‚ and No 1 Jordan Pickford. The strip was announced to great fanfare on Friday afternoon‚ just hours after Thomas Tuchel named his final squad for the last international break before travelling Stateside. The design is cleaner and more simple than in recent years‚ featuring a trimmed blue collar with a contrasting fabric triangle and red slashes on the sides‚ but little else to adorn the Nike shirt other than England's badge.
There was widespread fury after the release of the current England kit‚ which features a red‚ navy blue and purple version of the St George's Cross on the collar in a move that was branded ' woke' and 'dumb'. But it seems manufacturers Nike have gone back to basics for the shirt the Three Lions will likely wear in the United States‚ Canada and Mexico this summer.
England believe they have stolen a march on their World Cup opposition - by kitting their players out in special slippers. Thomas Tuchel's squad have been spotted wearing Nike's new 'Mind001' shoes that the national team's sponsor says can boost a player's mental sharpness. Looking like a pair of brightly coloured £80 slip-ons‚ the Nike blurb claims the shoes 'enhance your pre-game routine with mind-altering science' by connecting sensors on the soles of your feet with receptors in your brain.
