ENGLAND LIONESSES SHIRTS

Explore the history of England Lionesses shirts, from the team’s rise on the world stage to European glory at Wembley. Discover memorable kits, defining tournaments and the players and moments that have shaped the Lionesses.

THE LIONESSES STORY

England women’s shirts tell the story of a national team that has grown from playing largely outside the spotlight to becoming one of the most recognisable sides in world football.

For much of the team’s early history, England women’s kits closely followed those worn by the men’s national side. As the women’s game developed, however, the Lionesses began to establish a stronger visual identity of their own. Modern Nike designs have increasingly been created specifically for the women’s team, while retaining the white shirts, Three Lions crest and flashes of red and blue associated with England.

The shirts have accompanied some of the defining moments in English women’s football — from World Cup breakthroughs to European glory at Wembley and England’s first Women’s World Cup final in 2023.

Today, Lionesses shirts represent more than tournament kit. They chart the extraordinary growth of the women’s game in England and have become an important part of England shirt history in their own right.
