England have announced their stunning World Cup 2026 kits with a video teaser on social media. Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham take centre stage in the traditional white strip that has a neat pattern around the Three Lions badge and gold star, which symbolises our nation’s success in 1966.
The Nike logo features on the right chest while the England badge sits on top of the heart on the left. The edges of the collar and arms are navy, inside of which is a white are whie and blue stripes. The collar also contains the slogan ‘Happy and Glorious’, an ode to the national anthem
Jordan Pickford stands tall in his new blue goalkeeper jersey that has the badge and logo centralised. The top features a funky patter with different shades of blue.
Marcus Rashford and Elliot Anderson sit in the backdrop at the start of the video wearing England’s new red strip. This differs to the home top as the logo and badge are centralised.
