Women’s Euros 2022: England women unveil new home and ‘away’ kits for home tournament | Soccer News

The women of England have unveiled their new home and ‘away’ shirts for the upcoming Women’s Euros 2022, with the women of Northern Ireland also sporting a new home shirt.

The tournament – which kicks off on July 6 at Old Trafford as England take on Austria – will see the Lionesses wear two new kits as they look to make it through to the Wembley final.

Northern Ireland, Sweden, France and the Netherlands are among the other teams to release their new Euro shirts.

England

England will wear an all-white home kit, made by Nike, with the shirt pattern using a bespoke design to mirror the angular lines of the cut diamonds. There are also iridescent details on the crest and other features, with the kit designs to pay tribute to all the players who have helped make women’s football what it is today.

The ‘away’ kit comes in a brilliant crimson – a change from the colors traditionally used by English teams in the past. It comes with darker crimson detailing with a hoop design on the front of the shirt. Shorts and socks are also available in the same colors.

North Ireland

Northern Ireland will wear two specially designed kits for their first international tournament. Their adidas home kit will feature the well-known green jersey and shorts with white detailing.

There’s also a nod to kits worn in the past – with the chunky two-tone V-neck in particular a reference to the 1986 World Cup strip.

France

Another Nike creation, the France home kit’s distinctive designs reference neoclassical art and architecture and combine the nation’s tricolor: blue jersey, white shorts and red socks.

The France away kit 2022 is defined by the marriage of pink and white. The shirts and shorts are both white with pink trim, while the socks are pink.

The Netherlands

The Netherlands 2022 kit, made by Nike, gives the country’s classic orange a stylish new twist – complete with black trim.

The Netherlands away kit is inspired by From Stijl, a proudly Dutch art movement. It includes a white shirt and blue shorts, with blocks of white and red dotted across the kit. The crest also comes in a striking red, with white socks.

Sweden

One of the tournament favourites, Sweden, released their adidas kit in April. They’ll be wearing their traditional yellow and blue home kit – although they’ve added an interesting feature.

On the shirt there is a guide on how to stop Sweden, which will come in handy if opponents can get close enough to read it.

The shirt’s design is also inspired by the Swedish coastline, with a wavy silhouette around the neck that mirrors the shape of the country’s coastline.

Belgium

Belgium have also released their home and away kits – the first time the women’s team have had bespoke kits for their team.

The Red Flames will wear a black adidas home shirt, with red and yellow trim. The kit will be complete with red shorts.

Belgium’s away kit features a golden jersey with black detailing. The shorts and socks will also come with the same colors.

Germany

Germany will wear a white adidas top, with black trim that also incorporates the national flag’s red and yellow blocks.

The away kit will be teal, which has been the Germany national team’s alternative color since the 1950s. It will also feature an abstract print on the shirt.

Spain

The Spain home kit will feature the famous red jersey, with dark blue and yellow trim. The shorts and socks will also be available in dark blue with yellow accents.

The away kit comes with a striking ice blue shirt, with the socks also matching, as well as white shorts.

Norway

Norway’s famous mountains inspire the abstract design of the country’s 2022 home kit by Nike. The design itself expresses the close connection between the Norwegian people and their landscape, and pays homage to the teamwork that drives the team.

Finland

Finland’s home and away kits pay homage to the nation’s relationship with nature and to the thousands of players who have represented Finland’s national teams.

The Nike home kit bears an identifiable blue cross, a tribute to the Finnish flag, symbolizing the country’s blue lakes and white snowdrifts.

Denmark

A modern take on a classic, Denmark’s home and away kits come in the Danish flag’s red and white colors and feature subtle stripe accents on the shirt.

The Hummel kit features the ‘For Denmark’ slogan inside the collar and will be worn for the first time at this summer’s European Championships in England.
