England have dropped white shorts from their playing kit after releasing a new strip to be worn at the Women's World Cup.
The Lionesses won the European Championships last summer while wearing all-white kit, but the new design features navy shorts. A number of domestic clubs since the Euros have also changed their shorts after players expressed their concerns about playing in white while on their period.
But the new kit, still manufactured by Nike, includes blue shorts and will be worn at the Women's World Cup finals in Australia and New Zealand. It will also be worn by the Lionesses against Brazil at Wembley on Thursday in the very first women's Finalissima. Fans will be able to buy the kit from June 5, over a month before the start of the World Cup.
