England and Nike have unveiled their new strip for Euro 2016 and Twitter can't handle it.

The Three Lions will stick with the traditional white home shirt but with light blue sleeves and a red away jersey with red shorts.

But it's the socks that people are most upset about.

The New England kit is so fresh. Not a fan of the red socks but I love the grey airbrushed sleeves #England

Do they realise they've all put the wrong socks on at the England kit launch?

The new England kit looks like something made up of things you'd find in a lost property box

Initial reaction to the England kit: a bit too Frenchy - where's the red on the shirt? The red socks are a bit gross, really

Nike's Creative Director said: “For both kits we set out with the goal of bringing together the colours that are synonymous with English football: white, red and blue – flashes of contrast are used to illustrate innovative details such as the cross-dyed knitted sleeves and the ventilation-enhancing stripe on the sides of the shirts and shorts.”
