American sportswear giants Nike have unveiled the England football team’s away jersey for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which is available for sale immediately.

England striker Harry Kane, who is expected to spearhead the attack for Gareth Southgate in Russia, posted:

As is the case with most Nike jerseys of high-profile nations and clubs, there are two variants of the away kit.

The ‘match’ one will blow a hole in your pocket as it retails for £89.50 while the ‘stadium’ one is relatively cheaper at £64.95.

No information about the shorts, which have been confirmed to be white from the promos, is available but they are likely to be priced similarly to the home kit.

The home ‘match’ shorts cost £54.99, while the ‘stadium’ ones will set you back by £39.99 (all prices as per www.englandstore.fa.com).

The Three Lions, who have won football’s biggest prize only once, in 1966, will hope their snazzy outfits prove to be a good luck charm as they undertake.
