England unveil their new Umbro kit ahead of this year’s men’s World Cup, as Steve Borthwick’s men set their sights on going one better than 2019 and winning the tournament for the second time

England have released their new kit for the men’s World Cup in France which begins in September.

Steve Borthwick’s side are currently in the midst of preparations for the global showpiece with four warm-up matches ahead of the tournament to come in August.

Provided by kit suppliers Umbro, England’s home shirt is the traditional white with the alternate jersey navy blue.

‘Every time we wear the rose, whether it’s in training or in a game, we play with passion and pride.

‘Playing for your country at a major tournament is a buzz and an honour. We’ll be heading to France fully prepared and can’t wait to give our all for our fans, family and friends.’

England were beaten by South Africa in the final of the 2019 World Cup in Japan but have struggled badly since and last December, the RFU replaced head coach Eddie Jones with Borthwick.

The former Leicester boss took charge of his first campaign in the 2023 Six Nations and faces a race against time to get his team up to speed for the World Cup.

England’s new season range includes the men’s and women’s kits which will be worn later this summer.

The England men’s team will wear the new kit for the first time in the Summer Nations Series in August for matches against Wales (home and away), Ireland and Fiji which will provide a great opportunity for England fans to see and support the team before they head out to France.

The Red Roses kit, which continues to feature its own unique identity, will first be seen in September as the team play their fixtures against Canada before they head out to New Zealand for the inaugural WXV tournament. The women’s shirts are the same colour as those worn by the men.

‘Having a kit we feel confident in is key to putting in our best performances on and off the pitch. We’re looking forward to seeing fans cheer us on wearing our bespoke Red Roses kit this year as we build towards our home tournament in 2025.’
