Unfortunately, the new strips didn't go down all that well on Twitter:

"

Can't stand new @England home shirt. Like a discontinued range of training tops gathering dust on a Sports Direct rail. Why is it so hard?

Even the red socks cannot redeem that England kit

New England home kit isn't nice and this stupid new directive of making shirts and shorts same colour needs to get ditched

Meanwhile, the away kit's red shirt and shorts are joined by—you guessed it—blue socks:

"

In all honesty the new #England kits look like they are straight out of the Sports Direct sales bin in 2005. Awful.
