The 2023 Women’s World Cup final is just around the corner and football fans up and down the country are rejoicing, for the Lionesses have brought England to the final for the first time since 1966.
What better way to celebrate this historic moment than with your very own Lioness kit? The launch of this year’s uniform is particularly special, as it’s only the second time a kit has been designed specifically for the England Women’s Team, the first being last year’s Euro 2022 uniform. Previously, the Lionesses wore the same designs as the men’s national team.
One significant change that has been made to the kits is the result of feedback from the Lionesses themselves. Rather than having white shorts, the new kits are complete with a deep, royal blue pair of shorts. Criticisms came after players complained that they’d have to switch to darker garments when on their periods, so the redesign marks a significant step in the right direction when it comes to taking needs of women in sport seriously.
Though both the home and away kits have only just been made available, they were actually debuted during separate fixtures in April. The home kit made its first appearance during the Women’s Finalissima on April 6 at Wembley, and the away kit in the Alzheimer’s Awareness match between England and Australia at Brentford’s G-Tech Stadium on April 10.
