England will wear an all-white kit tonight against Serbia in their Euro opener, as they did in the two crucial victories against Italy in qualification to reach the finals in Germany.
Gareth Southgate’s official home colours – and the combination for supporters buying the Nike strip in shops – is the traditional white shirt with blue shorts. England were expected to wear this combination at Arena AufSchalke tonight but in a late change will wear white shorts.
They wore all-white in their Euro 2020 opener three years ago against Croatia, and also against Italy in the Wembley final of the tournament when they lost on penalties. They wore it twice at the World Cup in 2022, drawing against USA and winning against Senegal.
It was during the qualifiers to reach Euro 2024 that Southgate’s team wore all-white during wins in Naples, which laid the foundation for qualification, then against the Italians at Wembley when they sealed their place in the finals.
England also have their eye-catching “dark raisin” away strip which they wore against Bosnia in a warm-up friendly. They also wore all-white against Iceland in their final match, which ended in defeat, before flying out to Germany. Serbia will be in all-red.
