Early Impressions of England’s EURO 2024 Kit

 

Introduction

It seems like England fans go into every tournament anticipating going further than they do. Considering England’s “Golden Generation” didn’t win an international tournament, the media seems reluctant to put such pressure on a new set of players. However, if a bunch of players could break England’s near 60-year drought for an international trophy, then the current crop of players have as good of a chance as any of the years gone by.

Despite having more than double the goal attempts and the lion’s share of possession against France, England crashed out in the knockout stage, which has been a common occurrence in every major tournament since the mid-1990s, apart from Euro 2008, of course, which they famously failed to qualify for. That said, we don’t want to be too dismissive of England. Their squad at the moment is brimming with genuine world-class talent. The bias of the English media isn’t propping up this talent, which is an accusation leveled at previous generations. There’s elite young talent like Jude Bellingham, who is becoming the leading man at the world’s biggest club, and Harry Kane, smashing through goalscoring records for Bayern Munich, too.

EURO 2024 Kit – England’s Golden Chance – Betting Favorites

Usually, a solid indicator of how a tournament can play out is by glancing at the betting odds. Most bookmakers and gambling companies favor England to win Euro 2024 or joint favorites with France. Global gambling companies have been able to use international tournaments to highlight their services to an international audience.

With more companies aiming to break into the sector, plenty of sports betting companies are exploring a multi-faceted gambling approach, branching into casino gaming as they aim to capture the full scope and potential of the digital industry. Live casino gaming will often see an increase in activity during big sporting tournaments as the worlds of sports betting and casino gaming grow closer together. A lot can happen between now and next summer, including injuries and dips in form, but the early omens and betting odds look favorable for England.

Superstitions – Pre-Game Rituals & New Kits

There’s a genuine chance that this England squad containing the likes of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, John Stones, Phil Foden, and a host of other magical talent could finally break the curse that lingers over the England national team. The fabled curse that lingers over the Three Lions could be a distant memory if Bellingham and Kane can continue the astonishing form they’ve exhibited in La Liga and the Bundesliga, respectively.

Jude Bellingham has long believed in superstitions, as has the England captain Harry Kane. They’ll be hoping they’ll be the two who can finally lead England to glory after all the years of hurt. Following a leak of the new England kit for Euro 2024, the designers are again going for a minimalist approach. England will aim for natural or supernatural luck to push them one step beyond and into the ecstasy of victory.

Initial Thoughts On The Kit

The kit features the Nike logo on the right, the badge on the left, and subtle flag coloring on the perimeter of each sleeve, with a navy blue collar finish. Initial reactions to the kit have been positive, and by reverting to some of the more basic designs of yesterday, kit designers will be hoping to plant a seed for those who still remember England lifting the World Cup in 1966.

Although there are changes to the collar and the tips of the sleeves and shoulders, there haven’t been any radical changes to the kit we saw the team wear during the 2022 World Cup. Fans have subjective approaches to the kit, and because big names in sports fashion design them, you’ll never have a full unanimous verdict; there’ll always be fans who want to criticize the design.

 

Conclusion

The success of the 2022 World Cup kit has acted as a springboard for this fresh design, and most fans on social media seem to be happy that they haven’t strayed too far away from this kit. Despite no official FA announcement, the kit leak will likely be close to the final design. While it might not have the complete minimalist design of the 2014 World Cup jersey, there’s an intelligent blend between slick design and accentuating the colors on the England flag.

For fans who like to pay as close attention to the kits as we do, we’re happy with this kit going into Euro 2024. However, more importantly for most England fans, the tangible measurement of success must occur out on the pitch. The majority won’t care too much about the changes to the kit so long as the players wearing it perform to the best of their ability at a major international tournament and lift the trophy. Given they have the best chance in a generation, it’ll make for some edge-of-the-seat viewing.
