The design of the home uniform for the England national football team to wear in the 2026 North American World Cup has been leaked.
Footy Headline, a media outlet specializing in soccer supplies, recently released a specific image, saying, "We have obtained England's 2026 World Cup home kit design."
"This Nike uniform combines modern technology and symbolic elements based on England's classic white color," the media said.
The most noticeable change is the 'star' on the emblem. A "golden" star symbolizing the 1966 World Cup victory is engraved on the top of the English Football Association (FA) emblem. It is the first time in about 13 years that the winning star has been clearly emphasized in English uniforms.
Inside the neck collar, the phrase "HAPPY AND GLORIOUS" is engraved. This is taken from the lyrics of the British national anthem and is interpreted as a strong will to lift the World Cup trophy under Thomas Tuchel.
The design is traditional but also keeps the details alive. Overall, a fine "jacquard" pattern was added to a clean white background to add a three-dimensional effect. A thin navy piping was applied to the shoulder line, and a red panel finished with a navy border was added to the side as a point.
The media explained, "Nike's next-generation technology 'Aero Fit' will be applied to this uniform to replace the existing 'Dry Fit ADV'." The bottoms and socks are also expected to match white, completing the English traditional 'all white' look.
As with the new uniform, fans' reactions are mixed. Some fans praised it, saying, "Nice design that evokes nostalgia in 1966" and "I'm glad to see the return of the golden star," but some criticized it, saying, "It's too easy and boring," and "The red line on the side is awkward."
Meanwhile, the England national team is expected to officially announce the uniform in time for the A-match period in March and wear it in the game.
