New design of England's jersey for the 2026 World Cup

The three lions have been preserved in their classic form, but the new jersey features modern accents.

Delicate jacquard patterns with lions and stars are placed on the chest and body.

Red inserts highlight the dark blue trim around the neck and sleeves, similar to the jersey at Euro 2020.

On the inside of the collar, it reads 'Happy and Glorious' from the national anthem.

The safe design is expected to help the association avoid controversies that the previous jersey caused at Euro 2024.

Some fans labeled the previous jersey as 'emphasized by new trends' as the colors of St. George's flag were altered.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer even criticized the FA and Nike for changing the 'unifying' flag of St. George, but the manufacturers refused to revert to traditional colors.

This controversy led to the away jersey sales exceeding home jersey sales for the first time in history.

England is returning to the traditional red color for its away jersey at the upcoming World Cup, despite the success of the dark blue-purple variant.

However, the design has yet to be presented or leaked, although it may be similar to the home jersey.
