Nike and the Lionesses are setting new levels in 2019.

For the first time ever, the England Women's team will step to the pitch in a bespoke kit just for them. Rather than share a kit design with the senior men’s team, as has previously been the case, the Lionesses will head into this year's World Cup sporting a fresh take on the traditional white kit, accented by dark red cuffs.

Meanwhile, the fresh away kit drops in a cold 'dark red crush' colourway, which is a darker shade exclusively for the women’s team, and incorporates the St. George’s Cross on the shirt and a tonal crest unique to the Lionesses. The 2019 England Women’s Collection also includes an anthem jacket, training apparel and an off-pitch collection.

Nike have taken the bold step to create fresh looks for each of its nations heading into this summer's World Cup, meaning the likes of France, the United States and Nigeria will all be dripped out. The fit of all team kits have also been re-engineered to specifically support female athletes to perform at the highest level.

As current champions of the She Believes Cup and semi-finalists in their last two major tournaments, England are ranked among the world’s elite ahead of the World Cup being held in France between 7 June and 7 July 2019.

Get a closer look at the new Lionesses kit below. The collection drops on nike.com in May.
