Canterbury has unveiled the brand new England home kit, which will be worn by Stuart Lancaster’s squad during this autumn’s QBE International series, as well as in the upcoming RBS 6 Nations series which begins in February 2014.

Designed to combine the heritage and traditions of England Rugby with a modern design aesthetic, the new kits retain the classic colour combination of white shirts, white shorts and midnight blue socks, for a look which is true to the traditions of the team, dating back to 1871.

The refreshed jersey has a back-to-basics heritage feel, while the introduction of midnight blue detailing at the cuffs offers a contemporary finish, complemented by the iconic England rose on the chest to complete a patriotic red, white and blue colour combination.
