Gareth Southgate's side will be hoping to go all the way in Germany this summer

England have shown off their new shirts for Euro 2024 as they look to bring the trophy home this summer.

The Three Lions made the final of the last European Championships back in 2021, only to lose to Italy following a dreaded penalty shootout.


And England have now released the first images of their new strip for this summer.

Their home kit will be white with blue strips along the side, as well as a blue neckline.

A statement on England football's official website reads: "Nike describe the England 2024 home kit as a modern take on a classic white strip.

"The trim on the cuffs takes its cues from the training gear worn by England legends of the past, in a bold purple colour that remixes reds and blues of the past.

"The same colours also feature in a playful interpretation of the flag of St George on the back of the collar."

And, for the away shirt, designers have opted to change the formula by going with a purple jersey.

England's away shirts are, historically, normally blue or red.

But the Three Lions have now opted to change things up.

"The England 2024 away kit reimagines iconic kits from the past with a modern twist, making a bold statement with an eye-catching purple - a modern mix of classic blue and red England change kits of the past," a statement reads.

"The graphic side panels feature seven different colours with a nod to English fashion, while also giving the flag of St. George on the collar a standout style."

Both jerseys will be available to buy on March 21.

England are set to wear them for the first time during upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.

Gareth Southgate recently announced his squad for the two matches.

Yet there was no place for Ben White, with the Arsenal star apparently refusing to play for his country.

Southgate said: "Look, it is absolutely the question you should ask because clearly on form, I can't sit here and say he doesn't deserve to be in.

"We, [FA technical director] John McDermott, had a call from [Arsenal technical director] Edu last week to say that Ben didn't want to be considered for England squads at this time.

"For me, that's a great shame. He's a player I really like.

"He's a player we took to the Euros when he was at Brighton, a player we took to the World Cup.

"I spoke to him post Qatar because I was keen to pick him and there was clearly reticence on his side.

"I don't know fully why that is but I have to respect that.

"I want to leave the door open for him because he's a good player. I think he's a player who can make a difference for England.

"But he's not available to us and so the only other thing I would say is there is no issue between us at all, and also never an issue with Steve Holland because that has been mentioned in articles and I don't like that.

"People can talk about me and I have to accept things get said that are false about me and for whatever reason in this role, you have to almost stomach that.

"But I'm not prepared for that to happen to a key member of my coaching team because that is not the reason Ben is unavailable for selection.

"He would be in this squad. But he's not available to us so I have to focus on those who can help us."
