Taking inspiration from the legendary Admiral shirt worn by England at the 1982 World Cup, the 2025 version keeps things clean and classic with a crisp, white base. But the standout feature? That blue and red gradient across the chest. It’s bold. It’s nostalgic. And it gives this kit serious throwback energy while still feeling fresh and forward-looking.
Nike has paired the gradient design with smart navy cuffs and a matching collar, keeping things grounded and letting the colours do the talking. It’s a nod to the past but built for the present, made to be worn with pride by the Lionesses at the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 - and possibly even the men’s team too.

Of course, a special mention to the unreal away kit, a blast from the past in black with blue detailing.
