England lays claim to several representative symbols. Two of the most famous are longstanding: the rose and the St. George\u2019s Cross. A third, the Three Lions crest that adorns the chest of the English Football Association kit, has antecedents dating back to the twelfth century.<\/p>\n

As design elements, each of these iconic emblems plays a prominent role in the England Football Association\u2019s 2018 collection. They root the kit in history, and when married to Nike\u2019s latest game-changing kit innovation, fast-forward tradition into an emboldened present.<\/p>\n

This emboldened present is best illustrated by a handful of promising results that became an extraordinary sequence of achievements during the summer of 2017.<\/p>\n

Then, a number of the 28 St. George\u2019s Park-based England squads that Nike outfits captured the nation\u2019s imagination. Triumphs in June at the U-20 Toulon Tournament and the U-20 World Cup sparked a period of five months during which England claimed the U-19 European Championship, reached the semi-finals in the U-21 European Championship, reached the semi-finals of the Women\u2019s Euros and finally \u2014 in dramatic style \u2014 came from two goals down to win the U-17 World Cup final 5-2.<\/p>\n

As England\u2019s senior men\u2019s squad prepares to compete on the greatest global stage, a generation of athletes looks to continue the upward trend.<\/p>\n

Gareth Southgate leads a youthful squad, many of who will be appearing on the world stage for the first time. Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Raheem Sterling \u2013 going to his second global tournament at the age of 23 \u2013 and Marcus Rashford brim with promise in attack. Manchester City duo Kyle Walker and John Stones look to transfer stunning domestic form to the international game and young goalkeepers Jack Butland (24) and Jordan Pickford (23) challenge 75-cap Joe Hart for the number 1 shirt.<\/p>\n

As well as focusing on colors synonymous with England, the St. George\u2019s Cross \u2013 which is sure to be seen flying from cars and terraces come tournament time \u2013 exists on the back neck of both shirts. The jerseys also feature a rosette (a reference to the rose that adorns the caps received by senior players each time they represent England) on the inside of the shirt.<\/p>\n
