England's women's football team have unveiled a new kit, with blue shorts instead of white, a change encouraged by player's longstanding concerns about wearing white while on their periods.will wear blue shorts for both their home and away kits for the first time during the friendly game against Brazil on 6 April.
Then again during the Women's World Cup, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand in July and August. The new home uniform pairs blue shorts with the traditional white shirt, with the three lions crest and blue detailing, while the away uniform is all blue.In a statement, the English Football Association did not give a reason for the colour of shorts being changed, however, players including Beth Mead and Georgia Stanway spoke about issues they faced wearing white shorts during last year's European Championships.
"It is very nice to have an all-white kit but sometimes it's not practical when it's the time of the month," Mead said last July, adding that some players expressed their thoughts and worries to kit manufacturer, Nike.The move comes as part of Nike's new leak protection technology, which aims to provide players with"confidence when they can't leave the pitch".
Would the world come to a stop if gosh some blood appeared? Would anybody noice? Would a cameraman, woman focus on it? What about blood from the upper thigh appear near the crotch, groin area? It seems a slightly pointless concern motivated by current obsessions.
Yes 🙌
Some of the comments from men on here. What goes on in their tiny minds. It's not the dark ages any more.
Why not red?
I support them and while we are at it can we get GaryLineker to advocate the men wearing brown shorts
They should just gaffer tape there lips together and get on with it ,men have periods to ,just listen to all the nutty trans muppets
The flag is white and red so just wear red shorts
Don't see the men ask for yellow shorts (pee colour) do you? 😡🇬🇧 COYI
About fucking time
Why’s it constantly tryin to prove something with women’s football
🤣🤣🤣🤣 as a real who's had over thirty years of periods, this is so silly. Modern products are excellent. There really is no need to pretend that wearing white is a problem
It's interesting that have enabled comments on this article, hoping for misogynistic comments.
Just do it then, you don't need to tell the world.
It looks a million times better anyway.
Are we doing brown shorts for Gary Lineker?
That was the original coloured strip before they starting messing about with all white
Fair play.
How is this news ? ..England have traditionally always wore blue shorts
A great idea, although the England team used to have blue shirts anyway. Gary Lineker should have worn brown shorts.
Since when period define a woman? Oops! We don't say a woman with a period anymore, it's offensive for the ' real ' ones! Happy International women's period!
Why is this news
For the clueless men in the comments wondering why this is news or “should be private” - no, it shouldn’t be hidden. This is a common issue for women’s sports & needs the attention drawn to it. The fact it took this long to be allowed is ridiculous.
Why wasn’t it done in the first place during design? It is simple and logical. Do something stupid, then correct it and call it progressive? Make it headlines. Nonsense.
The white shirt should have blue shorts. The red shirt has white shorts.
Why is this news 🙄 Should everyone wear blue tops incase they get blood on them 🤔
Nuts how many men are being strange in the comments...
Why is this news?
Better get Harry kane some as well after his girly antics against Everton
Can't wait to see a trans be part of the team😂. Ooops! Did I say that aloud?😂😂😂
Good
Mm
I don’t think the away kit could address this issue though.. light blue is not much different than white 🤔
And this has made the news because...
74% of women football players are not straight
I don’t understand why men feel they have any valid opinion considering they do not bleed out of their urethra for 25% of the month.
Good, proper england first colours
This is extremely transphobic, not all women get periods, so hateful.
Didn't England always wear blue shorts? The all-new kit has been a recent thing. Looks better with blue shorts anyway.
Bet GaryLineker wished for different colour shorts in Italy 90
Who cares
But I thought men could have periods too 🤷♂️so surely the same should apply to the men’s team 🤔
The men's game, end of.
Great, thanks for the update🤦♂️
Pathetic story
Blue does looks better. All white is meh
Ok, why is this news. I don't see the issue here.
Why was this even publicised?
Why don’t you do this for the men as well? Why do men have to suffer the embarrassment of playing in white shorts on their period?
Ick
😴
Excellent- women’s sport is different to men’s, they have different problems and issues to deal with.
I reckon Roy Keane would suggest half a dozen of the mens team should wear blue shorts for the very same reason
Warra equal pay
It’s nothing to do with period it’s rhem bloody grass stains… murder to get off white shorts 😂
Omg talking out periods again , some one could get offended and it’s not biological women!
I foresee many a purple patch.
Won’t hide them dribbling!
Men/They/Them can have periods as well you know. 👀
I’m sure there’s trans men on the male team. Or anyone could have periods if they’re on hormone meds. Why exclude everyone else?
A heavy flow would leave them looking like Terry Butcher
Adverts for sanitary products always showed menstrual blood as being blue - so wearing blue shorts is logical.
It's common sense. The blue looks just as good 👍⚽🏴
Excellent move and the strip looks great
Most England team shorts are blue. Is this just another virtual signal exercise.
The comments from men in these replies. You all need to read a book, and get comfortable with nature. God help your daughters.
Pathetic if sky think this is news. Schools around the world have had girls wearing dark colored shorts during sports for decades.
Can they not just phone in sick
They shouldn’t play when due on as a big risk off being sent off , if anything like my wife! 😂
It's ok red and blue make purple. More like tye dye then
Honestly, I'm just amazed most of them are Native British. Good for you!
Fair comment.... Personally I would have thought I even darker color would have been better but blue is nice
👏👏👏👏
T.M.I....some things just don't need to be said
Thanks for that information!!
They could also fart and follow through
why didn't they choose red?
