England's Euro 2024 preparations will begin in earnest tonight when they face Brazil in a high-profile friendly at Wembley - the first time the men's team will sport a new kit after a backlash to changes to the St George's Cross on the shirt. The row erupted after Nike revealed it had altered the traditional red cross of the England flag on the back of the shirt's collar, introducing purple and blue stripes.
'We have been a proud partner of the FA since 2012 and understand the significance and importance of the St George's Cross,' said the US firm. 'The trim on the cuffs takes its cues from the training gear worn by England's 1966 heroes, with a gradient of blues and reds topped with purple. The same colours also feature an interpretation of the flag on the back of the collar.' A petition on Change.
