England’s new retro training top should really be their home shirt

England's World Cup kits are out in the open.

After weeks of leaked images claiming to show what Gareth Southgate's men will be wearing in Russia this summer, on Wednesday, we were finally able to set our eyes on the real things thanks to a series of tweets from the England social media accounts. https://twitter.com/England/status/961262391592878080 https://twitter.com/England/status/961260770217603077 Generally speaking, it seems the reaction has been a positive one, with England supporters in agreement that they are a definite improvement on the kits they are replacing... even if they aren't a patch on what Nigeria's players will be wearing. While Nike's decision to return the home shirt to a more traditional looking design has been well received, there was some disappointment amongst Three Lions supporters that the new pre-match shirt - also unveiled on Wednesday - hadn't been used as the a match shirt instead. Inspired by the popular home shirt England players wore in the 1982 World Cup, many questioned why the design hadn't been used as the new home shirt. https://twitter.com/SheridanBird/status/961260092099350534 https://twitter.com/CFarnan/status/961264727912603648 https://twitter.com/ad3nc/status/961278227472896000 https://twitter.com/bfccalbooth/status/961346335881515008 https://twitter.com/Jpearceeee/status/961344114854940678 The new England kits are to go on sale next month, around the time of the next international break where the team will be wearing them for the first time.
