I dont mind the home. Think it'll look great in a game.
I hated the last home (looked like something you'd get in a Turkish market) but it looked much better during games.
Nike are so lazy with their designs tho.
I think the last home kit is my favourite England shirt ever. Love a central badge and the player issue shirt has a great pattern on the shirt itself. Nike are generally very lazy though I agree. Adidas are miles ahead
Think the home looks good personally. Most England shirts are very bland, so at least this has something distinguishable about it.
Apparently the lettering is inspired by the font often used by British heavy metal bands (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc).
Inspired by fonts used by the likes of Maiden and Priest, more to come apparently. Bang average half-witted penny pinching from the dullards at FA - this font is only "like" any that bands have used cos most of them are patented/copyrighted/owned in some way. Also, who does FA think it's appealing to? How many old headbangers are there who'll be swayed to spunking all that gelt on a polyester T-shirt cos the letters sort of look a bit like something on an old record sleeve? How many youngsters could even possibly get the reference? All that aside, the fronts look like the characters and symbols have been lobbed haphazard at the shirt. It's on the wonk. Symmetry is everything in these matters.

Should have just had the same kits as the women... literally no excuse for it not being the case.
Not sure about the numbering on the back...

It's horrible.
The Germany kit on the other hand was superb
